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.

Building beloved community, together

Your membership financially supports our dedicated staff, helps to grow our programming vision, and ensures that our teachings continue both now and into the future.
