Recent Bird Expedition at our Ashram
The Sat Yoga Institute and Community wishes to thank Margherita Bottazi, a wonderful nature guide who specializes in Bird Watching, for visiting our Ashram in the mountains of San Isidro del General this past weekend and teaching a group of Sat Yogis about the inifinite beauty and diversity of biological species that are safely preserved within the sacred refuge of our new and growing rural community. Costa Rica is well known for its amazing diversity and natural beauty. During our first visit we saw a total of 85! different bird species like Great Tinamou, Orange-billed Sparrow, Tropical Gnatcatcher, White-throated Crake, and many, many other inspiring and lovely birds. If you would like to participate in our upcoming bird expeditions at the Sat Yoga Ashram, please stay informed online through our monthly newsletters and web calendar, as well as by calling (2288-3294) or asking our staff at our Institute in Escazú.

Premaculture Book Group: Secrets of the Soil
 |
Sat Yoga´s new Premaculture Class is currently learning the ancient wisdom of how to heal our earthly soil, which has been sadly wounded and depleted of life by the egoic deathdrive of supporting and applying poisons to the heart-soil of our planet using chemicals which destroy the ecosystem needed to preserve a necessary energy field for our plants and trees to grow joyously, healthy, and radiant.
The Secrets of the Soil (New Solutions for Restoring our Planet) written by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird teaches us about the incredible history and methodology of an unknown yet revolutionary agriculture method: Bio-Dynamics. This yogic approach to agriculture is a mixture of agricuture science with cosmic alchemical wisdom. Rudolph Steiner, a great spiritual and intelectual being, downloaded this method back in 1924 when farmers recognized his transcendental wisdom in the phenomenal and noumenal dimensions of Nature and asked for his guidance in transforming the conventional ways of farming that at the end only produce human poverty and biological disasters.
If this study seems of interest to you, then you are very welcome to join our ongoing Premaculture course dedicated to the upliftment of humanity and re-creating a deeper and wholisitic connection with our sacred Mother Earth.
This course is open for enrolled students. If you have not completed our Free Orientation Program and wish to join this study group, please call 2288-3294 to begin your enrollmend process. Thank you.

Monk or Monkey Mind?
Most people today, before they enter a spiritual path, are made miserable by a mind that is out of control. The ego mind is wild, savage, selfish, filled with lusts, anger, greed, demands, judgments, hostile disregard for the feelings of others, it is utterly self-ungovernable-and yet at the same time it is weak, unbalanced, irrational, emotionally unstable, incapable of perseverance, humility, or clarity, or of full dedication and cooperation with others. Yogis refer to the ego-mind as the monkey-mind. The first task of a new yogi upon entering the path to the Supreme Liberation is gaining control of this monstrous monkey mind. Read the full essay...
Frozen Teachings or Frozen Ego?
Someone asked recently if the teachings of Sat Yoga are frozen, or if they are evolving. It was clear that the questioner had some objection to certain teachings and wanted them to change. But the question of the evolution of spiritual teachings goes beyond that issue. So it is important to clarify this matter for all our students. The answer has to take into consideration a number of factors. Read the full essay...
