The realization of the sacredness and divinity within, expressed in the oneness of life
“Avasthology” is the study of states of consciousness. The World Institute of Avasthology (Avastha), is focused on elevating human consciousness through instruction, practice, and devotion. Established in 1974 and greatly inspired by the Human Potential Movement, we are a 501c(3) non-profit devoted to creating space for individuals, groups, and communities to discover their highest self, both in-person within the beautiful grounds of Avastha, and on our vibrant online workshop.
Awareness Library
The Avasthology Library, or Awareness Library, is presently being structured and built at 11543 Santa Rosa Road, Santa Rosa Valley, California. The Awareness Library promotes self-discovery through the Library of Humanity, a collection of some of most important books in human history. Some of these great books come from the hard work of our founders Dr. Benito F Reyes. All books will be available for online download or in our library (coming soon).
Botanical Garden
Avasthology's botanical Gardens is at present being structured and built at 11600 Santa Rosa Road, Santa Rosa Valley, California. Aptly named The Reflection Gardens, our luscious botanical garden is the perfect place for spiritual restoration and growth.
