This September, the Sat Yoga Ashram community will be holding an event dedicated to the topic of community: “Forming and Fostering Flourishing Communities”. We hope to convene community leaders from around the world to foster a mutually-enriching exchange of ideas that can serve to inspire and re-dedicate everyone present toward the ideals that united them.

The themes we intend to discuss at this inter-communal gathering include the following:

• Unifying Vision and Full Commitment
• Structure, Dharma, and Leadership
• Psychological and Spiritual Power, Understanding, and Training
• Food Security and Adaptation to an Off-Grid Future
• Harvesting the Wisdom of past Monastic, Ashram, and Tribal Cultures
• Transformational Processes for Maturation, Conflict Resolution, and Ego Transcendence
• The Nitty Gritty: Dealing With Such Matters as Aging, Death, Money, Workers, Children, Entheogens, Sex and Drugs

We hope that there is enough interest in these topics and in inter-community gatherings that we can offer a series of such retreats to delve ever more deeply into the roots of our interbeing—and create a think tank to help solve the problems that arise in our sister communities to ensure the welfare and connectivity of a growing network of spiritual tribes.
