“Av has a beautiful way of holding space, guiding us to connect to our essential selves. He also has an incredible command of language so he can paint a picture of what is indescribable. It was a blessing to attend his online [satsang].”
Canada
INTRODUCTION
The monthly satsang is for those who feel called to go deeper into peace, happiness, freedom, and melt in the heart of the truth. It is an open space for sincere seekers who wish to dissolve all false identifications, deepen in presence, and mature in experiential insight.
During these gatherings, Av Neryah meets each student where they are and guides according to what is needed, illuminating the journey toward awakening and liberation.
The gathered presence of sincere beings from all over the world is itself part of the blessing and power of satsang. In this deeper atmosphere, the grip of the mind and personhood falls away, and you are effortlessly drawn into stillness, depth, and the silent blissful fragrance of being, to the benefit of all.
How to approach an online satsang:
Satsang is an encounter with truth, a gathering in being. Even though this gathering takes place online, it is best approached with the same deep respect, surrender, and inward openness you would bring to an in-person retreat or satsang. It is by coming with an open heart and mind, relinquishing the trivialities of the personal and immersing yourself in pure presence that the alchemy of transformation can take place.
Do I need anything prior to enrolling?
Only openness, sincerity, and a willingness to dive deeply into your heart of being. Except that, no prior experience is required. If you are not yet familiar with Av Neryah’s teachings, you can read the book Liberation: A Spiritual Autobiography or watch his YouTube videos in order to familiarize yourself with his teachings.
The Self-Realization Master Course also offers a profound transmission of Av Neryah’s teachings with exceptional depth, clarity, and detail. It is highly recommended.

2. Registration and Contribution
Participation is offered on a sliding scale, so that people in different financial circumstances can still take part:
Monthly Contribution:
€45 – Supported
For those who sincerely wish to attend but, at this time, do not have the financial means to contribute at the standard level.
€90 – Standard
For those whose financial situation is generally stable and for whom this level feels balanced and appropriate.
€180 – Benefactor
For those with sufficient financial resources who wish to both support their own participation and help sustain this work. Benefactor contributions directly assist in making Supported places available and support the ongoing offering and development of these teachings.
Monthly Satsang Recording is included in all 3 options.
Benefactors
Those who join now at the Benefactor contribution will be welcomed as part of the Founding Circle. This is an early circle of students who are helping to establish and sustain these monthly satsangs from the beginning, while also helping to make the teachings more accessible to those with fewer financial resources. In gratitude for that support, Benefactors will receive:
- Priority access to future in-person retreats, events, and sacred seclusions with Av Neryah.
- Access to recordings of the monthly Japanese online satsang, with live English translation.
- Founding Circle recognition for as long as enrollment remains active.
Annual Contribution
An annual contribution option is also available for the Standard and Benefactor options. Those who join annually will receive one month free while supporting the continuity of the work over the course of the year.
Scholarships
We’re also offering a limited number of scholarships for those who genuinely cannot afford the cost even at the reduced Supported contribution. If this is you, you are welcome to apply through this form (password: satsangspecial).
We trust that scholarships will be requested only where they are truly needed, so that this support may remain available for those who most need it.
Scholarship Fund
We aim to ensure that Av Neryah’s online events remain accessible independent of financial circumstances. If you would like to help make this possible for others, you may contribute to the support fund here.
If you have any questions, special requests, or prefer to book via alternative payment methods, contact us.
3. Recordings
Each monthly satsang will be recorded, so that you may return to it in your own time or listen again more deeply afterward.
Access to the recordings is included for all contributing members at the Supported, Standard, and Benefactor options, and remains available for as long as your monthly contribution remains active.
4. Community Space
For those who wish to remain connected beyond the monthly gathering, an optional community space will also be available.
This shared space will take the form of a private group, where you may connect with fellow students and remain in touch between satsangs.
Alongside this, a dedicated online space will hold recordings, updates, resources, and a place for ongoing exchange.
Participation in the community is entirely optional and offered as a support to those who feel nourished by shared connection.
Access to the private group is offered only after you have attended at least three monthly satsangs with Av Neryah. It is not included upon registration alone. This helps preserve the integrity of the space and allows the community to form through shared participation. In some cases, where we already know the student from before, access may be offered without this requirement.

5. FAQ
1. Where will the satsang sessions occur?
All satsang sessions will be conducted on Zoom unless otherwise specified. A Zoom link will be sent to your inbox for confirmation. If you don’t have a Zoom account, you may create one here. For technical information on Zoom, click here.
2. What do I need technically to join?
You’ll need a stable internet connection, a device (computer, tablet or phone), and access to the video platform (Zoom). It’s also supportive to have a quiet, undisturbed space where you can sit or lie down comfortably during the sessions. Instructions will be sent via email.
3. How do these satsang sessions typically unfold?
Each satsang has its own living movement, and it may include guided meditative transmission, truth dialogue, grace-filled silence, or direct guidance to what arises in the moment. No two satsangs unfold in exactly the same way, which is part of what makes each one unique in its expression.
For the deepest guidance, transmission, and transformation, regular participation is warmly encouraged.
4. Can I enroll someone else (friend, family member, etc.)?
Yes. You are welcome to register a friend or family member as well. If booking for more than one person, please register each participant with their own name and email address. To help us admit everyone smoothly, the name used for registration should match the name they use when joining on Zoom.
5. Will the sessions be recorded?
The online satsangs will be recorded (audio and video) so that participants can revisit the teachings and so that excerpts may be edited and shared later for the dissemination of these teachings. All recorded material is shared with care, discretion and respect. If you prefer not to appear in recordings, you are welcome to keep your camera off.
6. Do I have to have my camera on?
You’re warmly invited to have your camera on. This way, Av Neryah can see you and feel your presence better, and this improves the quality of the satsang for yourself. Seeing one another can also help create a sense of shared presence. At the same time, you may choose at any point to have your camera off if that feels more comfortable.
7. I don’t speak English very well. Will the satsang be translated?
More important than words is the energy and grace-filled field of the satsang. That will always be there, regardless if your understanding of English. However, for those who need additional support in following the spoken content, recordings can be made available with automatically translated captions in requested languages.
8. What if I live in a different time zone?
Many participants join from different parts of the world, and for some regions the live timing may be less ideal, particularly in Asia-Pacific.
You are warmly invited to attend live whenever possible, and to make use of the recordings whenever it is not. The satsang is held in such a way that the essential transmission of the teaching may still be received, even when you cannot be present for everything in real time.
For those based in Oceania or Asia, the monthly Japanese satsang offering may also be of interest. It includes live English translation and is often offered at a more supportive hour for those regions (8 am Tokyo time). If you would like to know more, please contact us here.
9. Is online satsang suitable for people with a history of mental health difficulties?
Satsang invites deep contemplation and inner exploration. That can sometimes bring strong feelings, old patterns or vulnerable places to the surface. The space is held with care, and the intention is to offer a gentle, supportive environment, but this is not therapy.
If you have a history of significant mental health difficulty, or are currently receiving psychological or psychiatric treatment, it is important to check with your doctor or mental health professional before joining.
During the satsang, you remain responsible for your own emotional and psychological wellbeing, including seeking professional support if needed.
6. Cancelation & Refund Policy

d) Where an annual contribution has been chosen, a partial refund may be requested for any unused future months, less 10% to cover administrative and payment processing costs.
