One-Day Sangha Gathering

The gathering will start on Saturday, October 17th at 10am and will end at 6pm.

This first gathering is open to those who have already sat with Igor Kufayev. The following gatherings will be open to everyone who is new to this work and would like to explore it.

Sangha Gatherings are held by Ruben and Linda, dedicated students of Igor Kufayev, on his behalf. The day is carried by his recorded darshans and guided meditations, and by the field of practice we share.

Please note, this is a non–residential gathering.

About this Gathering

Every six to eight weeks, we gather as a Sangha in Freiburg for a full day of shared practice. We sit together, share from our lives and practice, eat a meal, and spend part of the afternoon with one or two of Igor’s recordings, gathered around a single theme.

The gatherings are a space for practice, reflection and genuine encounter within the Sangha, and a way to tend the inner flame together.

A Sangha Gathering is an independent event of the Freiburg Sangha and not an immersion with Igor Kufayev. Igor is not present in person; Ruben and Linda hold the space, and the day is carried by his recordings. The gathering is held in German, and Igor’s recordings are shown with subtitles.

Meals

A vegetarian Ayurvedic lunch, tea and small snacks are included in the program fee. The meal is prepared with care by our community team and shared together, followed by time to walk and rest. Cushions, blankets and yoga mats are available in the room. Please bring your own thermos flask.

“I feel that no cell of my body is the same since the Immersion. The long-term effects on my daily life remain to be seen in their full gamut of experience and expression since this is just the beginning of something completely unknown and yet so intimate.   On a very practical level, I observe that less sleep is needed, giving me more time for my sadhana [spiritual practice]. The practice became so dear to me that it feels unbearable when the circumstances do not allow for it. I feel so blessed that all this is happening, quite often expressed in tears of joy”.
