The non-dual philosophy of ancient India, transmitted through Adi Shankaracharya and carried into the modern world by teachers including Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta Maharaj. Its central teaching — that the individual self and ultimate reality are not two — remains one of the most radical claims in the history of human thought.
The first Zen monastery established outside Asia, founded in 1967 by Shunryu Suzuki Roshi. Accessible only by a fourteen-mile dirt road, Tassajara offers a genuine encounter with monastic practice in a landscape that has its own austere beauty.
Vietnamese Zen master, poet, and peace activist whose teaching of "interbeing" — the radical interdependence of all phenomena — has reached millions through his writing, retreats, and the monastic communities he founded across four continents.
Ten-day silent meditation retreats taught in the Theravada tradition as transmitted by S.N. Goenka. No charge, no religious affiliation required. Students work twelve hours a day in silence. Many describe it as the most difficult and most important thing they have ever done.

One of the most revered spiritual teachers of the twentieth century, Ramana Maharshi spent fifty-four years on and around the sacred hill of Arunachala in Tamil Nadu. His primary teaching was a single question: "Who am I?" The simplicity is deliberate and total.
