Most students who work with Mugen Roshi on a regular basis join one or more of the monthly online mentoring programs. These are typically the same format as the online daylong retreats except the group becomes more cohesive and the meditations go deeper with regular practice.
Choosing a Program
The best way to choose a program is to follow your natural inclination.
- Demystifying Awakening is for students drawn to Awakening
- Soothing the Longing Heart & Jhanas Practice for students drawn to traditional Theravada practices
- Liberating the Heart and Self is for students interested in engaging their psychology and personal material.
If you’d like guidance, you may want to discuss which group may be right for you in a one-on-one with Mugen Roshi. Some students enroll in multiple programs simultaneously.
