Deep, deeper, deeper still

Our style of teaching is about going beyond surface exploration of spiritual practice to an embodied perspective that applies to daily life. The spiritual journey we are on is not linear. Each progression contains what came before and builds on it. This river flows through everything we do at the Lotus Institute.

  • The Lotus Institute has been a lighthouse for our foundation. Helping to guide our decisions in programming and mission and purpose. We could not serve the way that we are without Peggy, Larry and the entire Lotus team.

    —Patt Webb, Silence Foundation

  • I deeply appreciate your team. Thank you for all that do to be a force of positive change in this world.

    —Serene Grimstad

  • Knowledge is the greatest obstacle to going deeper. As Lotus Institute says, “deep, deeper, deeper still”. This is the gift of practice that keeps me impassioned on this path.

    —Peter Kuhn

  • Love is Lotus Institute.

    —Robert O'Keefe

  • “Many of our Indigo Sangha friends reached out today to say your teaching was incredibly helpful.”

    Heather, Indigo Sangha

  • Thank you Larry, once again, for your explicit reminders of how to listen to our bodies! These are skills I never learned as a child, and I find I am really needing instruction on as an adult.

    —Beyond The News podcast listener

  • We just returned home with deep gratitude for the teachings and your wisdom and guidance. We are quietly integrating what was a very rich and full retreat, and we expect that this is a process that will continue to unfold.

    —Mary Michal and David Haskin

  • Your dharma talks are straightforward & uplifting. Thank you both for your love and resourcefulness.

    —Caron Peters

  • “Reading America's Racial Karma is like going to the zoo and then being in the Serengeti. All the boundaries disappear and you see the enormity of the sky!"

    David, Indigo Sangha
