Other General FAQs
The time commitment for this meditation course is designed for people with busy lives. It is expected that you have family, work, and/or other life responsibilities, so the practices offered do not take huge amounts of time. Consistency, however, is extremely important. You can expect to be meditating for 20-40 minutes 1 or 2 times per day. In addition, time for live interactive Q&A calls and self-reflection is highly recommended. Monthly sadhana talks and both online and residential meditation retreats are also available throughout the year, encouraging students to delve deeper into practice together.
You do not need to know much about meditation or have a meditation practice to join our program. You do however need a sincere and motivated desire to know yourself and practice regularly to gain the benefits of practice.
Absolutely not. Our teaching is based in yoga and tantra traditions but they are designed for all people. You will not be asked in any way to adopt or change your current faith-based practices. Yoga is accessible to all regardless of culture or belief system. There is some chanting in this course and it may be modified or skipped to match your faith-based needs.
The main teachings are based on expanding awareness and finding the oneness and understanding the similarities in diverse teachings. Brandt’s main teacher taught him both yoga and tantra techniques and this program is an offering of these concepts through his lens of practice, fusing key practices and teachings that he has been given. His work is also influenced by years of meditation mentoring and work as a yoga therapist helping individuals expand consciousness and find stability in practice.
This is a big question! The short answer is that we are here to know ourselves more fully and be more present for ourselves and those around us.
No. Each one of us is an independent thinker and spiritual support comes from many places. No one is required to see anyone as “above” themselves. We are committed to providing a safe environment for all students to practice and expand their knowledge.

Absolutely! The course is designed in two parts for this reason. Many of us wish to deepen our practice and evolve, but that does not in any way mean that we want to be a meditation teacher or “mentor”. If this is the case for you, we invite you to join the Meditation Program.
Online retreats are included with your subscription. Live residential retreats require separate registration.
You are charged quarterly or yearly and that includes the online material, online community, and online retreats. There are no extra fees. (The live retreats are billed separately for those that choose to attend.)
You can’t fall behind, ever! The course is self-paced and designed to support your practice indefinitely.
Students with a sincere interest in mentoring others can apply for our Mentor Training Program after 6 months participation in the meditation community (Program).
