Satsang

Satsang (saht-sahng) is a traditional word that simply means 'association with truth', or, the gathering together for guidance and mutual support of those who are seeking SAT (i.e. Truth - Ultimate Being - God). If awakening maybe sometime in the future is no longer an option for you, then you are ready for satsang.

Pete and Pearl Sumner warmly invite you to attend satsang at Gurukula in Fremantle, Western Australia. Anyone 16 years-of-age and over may join us, but it is preferable that you have a strong desire to find out and live from who you really are.

If you haven't attended before, or if you're a regular attender and would like to bring a friend, a courtesy call (9336-4737) to let us know you are coming would be appreciated.

A donation of $5.00 per person to cover overheads and help with our work is appreciated, but all are welcome.

What Do We Do?

Usually a videoed talk or satsang by a spiritual teacher such as Adyashanti is shown but occasionally there are live guest speakers. At the end of satsang, light refreshments are served providing an opportunity to enjoy fellowship, sharing and to explore the truth of who or what we are.

Where?

The satsang group meets at Gurukula, the home of Pete and Pearl Sumner, in Daly Street, South Fremantle. Phone 61-8-9336-4737. Fremantle is the Port city of Perth, the capitol city of Western Australia. If you're planning a visit from the country, interstate or overseas, you might like to see some accommodation options.

When?

Presently, the satsang group meets regularly on the second and fourth Friday evenings of the month from 7.30pm to about 9.30pm. First time attenders are encouraged to arrive early. For all Satsang dates see the Gurukula Calendar

The Purpose of Satsang

"Clear seeing is the solvent of attachment, of grasping and confusion. Truly clear seeing -- not just with your mind -- it starts with your mind, but your body sees too -- your whole being is a sensing instrument and it is wise."
~ Adyashanti, in the 'The Fabric of Reality'

Satsang is conducted so that the awakening process can be continued and so that spiritual enlightenment can go deeper within the fellowship as a whole as well as within each of its members. At satsang , attenders can learn from the heart rather than the head how to embody and experience the teaching in all aspects of everyday life.

Awakening Together

Reflecting the growing trend in Western non-dual spirituality, our satsang at Gurukula in Fremantle benefits from several teachers or sources of teaching rather than just one.

Although we are deeply grateful to many teachers, past and present, the Great Teacher we attend to in satsang is the ineffable and holy One that is the truth of our Being. Finally we discover that the inquirer, the teacher and the teaching are not separate but the one happening.

At Gurukula transmission and support is shared by the whole community.

Ours is a fellowship of those who are in the process of embodying the awakened consciousness that is changing all aspects of life on our planet.
