Open Heart Summer Retreat 2026
”Thank you, Amrita Baba, for yet another superb retreat filled with radiant insight and profound transmissions of our true nature.

Months of drought ended with rain showers and a thunderstorm as the retreat began. The air itself seemed charged, echoing the rumble of the river beside the Open Heart ashram.

Together, 18 practitioners immersed themselves in the Dharma as it is practiced in Open Heart. Our true nature is clarity, love, and compassion, not as abstract concepts, but as lived experience: a clear mind, an open heart, and a body infused with the nectar of our body of light.

Throughout the retreat, we practiced interrupting the momentum of samsara, not only in the mind, but in all our bodies.

We received two profound empowerments of the Divine Mother: Mahakundalini Shakti, representing the pure energies of Prana, Bindu, and Amrita, and Bhudevi (Sacred Earth), grounding the pure nature of the physical body through yogic practice and immortality exercises.

We return home with a deeper experiential understanding of the path to full enlightenment. Even brief moments of recognition leave an inner knowing that no external explanation can replace.

Deep gratitude to Amrita Baba for the teachings and transmissions, to Amrita Rani for organizing the retreat, to all the Acharyas for the morning Rainbow Body Yoga sessions, to everyone who offered Karma Yoga, and to every practitioner who shared this journey. Practicing together is the true home of the Sangha.

May all who have the merit to practice the Dharma find traditions that truly lead to enlightenment.

May all beings be free. 🙏”
- Sangita, ordained member of Open Heart sangha

Words of Amrita Sangita:
”Thank you Baba for the last satsang of this training season 🙏

This time around we had a chance to join the session in person, and feel the powerful transmission.

Through generating bodhicitta, Amrita Baba guided us through the external, internal to the secret aspect of ta***ic practices, where we connect with our innate buddha nature and our habitual mind and tendencies drop away.

Taking the practice even further with the powerful transmission, Baba pointed out the collapsing of samsara and nirvana into the one sameness, also known as One Taste.

Thank you Baba for this wonderful opportunity to meet you and for the chance to practice together 🙏

The next training season starts in August/September. In the mean time, you can join Amrita Rani ’s Thursday sessions or the July Summer retreat.

Monsoon showers of blessings to all!”

We are exceptionally fortunate to have access to a ta***ic practice called the Rainbow Body Yoga (RBY), which was given to Amrita Baba from Padmasambhava. Traditionally, the highest yoga teachings were often difficult to access, requiring extensive travel, personal connections, or years of preparation. Today, ordinary people from all walks of life have the opportunity to learn RBY through an affordable online format, making authentic advanced spiritual training available to far more practitioners than ever before.

Already 28 practitioners have attained realization of emptiness through Rainbow Body Yoga. While some had undergone an awakening prior to beginning the practice, most started from an unawakened state and awakened through Amrita Baba’s method known as the Two-Part Formula.

In the Mahāyāna tradition, realization of emptiness (śūnyatā) is regarded as an extraordinarily rare attainment. Classical texts such as the Heart Sutra, Diamond Sutra, and the vast Prajñāpāramitā literature present the direct realization of emptiness as a profound breakthrough that liberates one from the fundamental causes of suffering. Against this traditional backdrop, the results reported by practitioners of Rainbow Body Yoga are especially noteworthy, as they suggest that a clear and effective method can help sincere practitioners progress through the stages of awakening in a direct and systematic way.

As practitioners deepen their training in Rainbow Body Yoga, they can practice with confidence, knowing that the method provides a clear and systematic path toward successive awakenings. Through sustained practice, one gradually learns to recognize the mind’s selfing mechanism with increasing precision, seeing through ever subtler forms of identification. In this way, the process of awakening continues to deepen, culminating in the realization of emptiness itself, a realization that Mahāyāna Buddhism has long regarded as one of the rarest and most precious attainments on the spiritual path.

A heartfelt milestone in our sangha’s journey 🤍
Ordination – May 2026, Switzerland.
Amrita Baba with his ordained students.

Ordained students are close disciples of Baba, united by a deep bond of trust, friendship, and shared commitment. It is like a second family. They hold a special role within the Open Heart Sangha, and in time, some may serve as lineage teachers and carry positions of trust within the community.

The first ordination took place in 2022 in Wales, when Simha Karl Henrik, Mani Monica Olivia, Amrita Uma Gwen Hollis, and me, Amrita Rani stepped forward in deep dedication.

Now, at our Spring Retreat 2026, Helena Sangita Nymark, Bodhi Bob Andersson, Dipa Tiina Wanhala, Silvia Kripa Schüssler, and Bhole Baba James Ferguson were ordained, continuing this living lineage.

I honor their commitment for the sake of all beings and rejoice in this beautiful step on the path. Congratulations to newly ordained dharma brothers and sisters! 🙏🏻

Gratitude and joy fill my heart after our beautiful 8-day Spring Retreat with beloved Amrita Baba in the peaceful Swiss landscape. ✨

The theme, “God, Guru and Self are One,” was lived as a direct inner experience. Through the Amrita Abba empowerment and Baba’s powerful transmissions, many felt deep karmic burdens dissolve into clarity and peace.

We practiced Immortality Exercise, Rainbow Body Yoga, and Guru Yoga with Bodhidharma, and received profound teachings, including practices for removing harmful external influences with the help of Isha Natha (Jesus Christ) and Archangel Michael.

A touching refuge ceremony welcomed six students, and on the final day five received ordination. The retreat, named “Vidyadhara, holder of knowledge, honored six students for their inner realization.

Deep gratitude to all participants, organizers, and dear Baba for the blessings and compassion shared.

The next Open Heart Retreat will be held 5–7 June in Birmingham, England. All who feel called are warmly welcome.

With love,
Amrita Rani
