Arunachala Self-Inquiry Program
Join us for our annual trip to Tiruvannamalai, India, and rest in the tranquility of Arunachala. This comprehensive program consists of 3 weeks of jnana yoga with Nick Gancitano. Each session, which takes place at the foot of India’s sacred hill Arunachala, is designed to clear the intellect of obstructions, so Self-Inquiry may occur effortlessly. During daily sessions, contemplation of nondual principles will redirect one’s attention from mental objectification to the heart-center. Self-Inquiry will no longer be an accumulated concept as you disappear and become the Truth.
The combination of extended periods on Arunachala and a sattvic diet yields the optimal environment for Self-awareness to spontaneously occur. The Self-Inquiry Center provides housing, breakfast, lunch and all program materials within our India facility. Remaining in this constant stillness benefits those seeking truth and ultimately results in Self-Realization. Religious rituals and ceremonies were never a part of this direct teaching, nor will it not be encouraged during this one.
All participants are encouraged to spend as much time as possible on Arunachala and not philosophizing. This focus allows the essence of the teaching to be revealed with minimal distractions. The Arunachala Program will bring you to rest in the tranquility of the Self as our 21-day intensive offers an unprecedented opportunity to stabilize in the presence of the heart. This comprehensive program will also prepare you to stabilize in your grasp of non-dual wisdom and Self-Inquiry.
Program Duration: 3 weeks in mid-November through mid-December, with the option of one additional week

Enlightenment Is
“Enlightenment Is” is a 3-day weekend program featuring an in-depth exploration into the illusion of form. This program requires one to consider, What is reality? Through an intensive Self-Inquiry and a precise sequence of interactive exercises, participants will recognize both limitations of sensory perception and egoic strategies that restrict one from knowing the Self. This program takes you on a journey that destroys limitations and conditioned beliefs that have kept you stuck in duality, blindly searching for happiness in people, places, things and events. Throughout this program, you will be reminded of your True Self beyond the veil of illusions. Next Program Date TBA. (Discovering Self-Inquiry is a prerequisite.)
