Further Information about Studentship at Tushita Hermitage
What is a “Formal Student”?
Some of those attending Tushita Mystery School are drawn to practice and explore this way of life, emphasising our inherent OKness in a more formal way.
This includes a sincere desire to put into practice the learnings and understandings that arise from a more unproblematical relationship to life – in all the areas of our life.
It also includes visiting Tushita Hermitage with Arohananda Ma or Yanchiji being the guiding teachers during this time and coming to Listening Groups (currently in Wellington, Auckland and Peria Valley).
There are no tests, beliefs or monetary requirements to become a formal student. Studentship by its very nature is open to us all.
How do you become a Formal Student?
If you feel drawn to explore what it means to be a formal student of the Mystery School of Life and would like to spend time with others practising in this way you may wish to consider….
- Attending Formal Satsang with Yanchiji or Arohananda Ma
- Attending Study Groups with current practising students
- Attending an Introduction to the Tushita Hermitage
