The Meditative Practice
Solid Traditional Foundations
The Mind Illuminated by Culadasa
The Elephant Path by Asanga
The Eightfold Noble Path by Gautama the Buddha
Clear Training Path
The Playful Path to Awakening by Oded Raz
The Playful Path is a practical mind-training plan inspired by The Mind Illuminated and the work of Culadasa (John Yates, Ph.D., Oded Raz's teacher). It builds upon TMI’s core instructions and expands them, adding structure, clarity, and insight to the training process.
Private Adventure Features
Custom-Tailored Guidance
In a series of weekly one-on-one meetings, you receive guidance tailored to the exact state of your meditative practice, aligned with your needs and aspirations.
Classes
You will receive weekly classes offering an orderly exploration of the meditative training, the mental states it induces, the workings of the mind, and the path to Awakening. The material may include Buddhist wisdom, meditative guidance, neuroscience, and supporting perspectives for your progress.
Questions & Answers
You are welcome to ask the teacher any question and receive an in-depth response. These exchanges clarify the subtleties of the meditation technique and help you make sense of the personal experiences you encounter during your meditative practice.
Sharing Experiences
Your Adventure offers an opportunity to explore the various challenges you face, not only in meditation but also in daily life. Together, we view them through the lenses of Western thought and Eastern wisdom, discovering skillful responses and gaining insight.
Home Retreat
Your Private Adventure concludes with a meditation retreat in the comfort of your own home - an opportunity to practice everything you’ve learned and progress further on the path. If you have no prior experience with home retreats, the retreat spans three days. Otherwise, you may extend it up to seven days. The retreat includes silent meditations, walking meditations, private interviews, Dharma talks, and more.
Built-In Support
Progress Tracking
Your Private Meditation Adventure includes tools for tracking your progress. They help build a sense of achievement, strengthen motivation, sharpen awareness of the process, and allow the teacher to offer informed guidance and support.

Discord Server
You’re invited to join our Discord server, where we maintain multiple private forums for receiving updates, shared content, questions, and communication with fellow members of our Sangha.
