NEW BEING PROJECT
New Being Project provides opportunities to awaken to one’s own natural, open, clear, creative Being; and to celebrate one’s individual and collective enlightened, magical expressions.
We recognize the pure, alive state is naturally compassionate and is inherent in each of us, and benefits our families and communities, our races and tribes, our global humanity and our living planet.
Therefore we aim to live for one another and provide spiritual support and creative learning environments for the awakening to occur and stabilize in all life’s activities.
Who we are
Religious History, Credo and Teachings, Body of Religious Works:
New Being Project is a Federally registered 501(c)(3) non-profit church.
New Being Project is a church of the oldest spiritual roots on the planet, dating back approximately 26,000 years ago in the ancient country of Tazig or what was once ancient Persia, and expressing through the Sufi religion which flourished in the middle east and the Bön Shamanic Tradition which flourished in the Himalayas. We recognize the definition of religion to be the way or path to discover one's true origin, and this time to be the Aquarian Age giving rise to our enlightened qualities.
The Sufi Way is a remembrance of the states and qualities of the pure archetypes, always in divine communion, & expressed through the human heart. Our lineage of blessing come through Pir-o-Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan, Murshid Samuel Lewis, Sheikh Hassan, Jesus the Christ, Mary Magdalene, & Jalalal-din Rumi.
The Bön Shamanic Tradition is the original path of Dzogchen or self-liberation, of yoga, the yoga of tsa (channels), lung (prana) and tigle (bliss awareness) to first settle the mind, and then recognize-maintain-stabilize the Natural State of mind. It is a Bodhisattva path, a path of service, developing wisdom and compassion, to alleviate the suffering of all sentient beings and give rise to all beings’ awakening. Through the ages, this wisdom traveled far to express through the many yogic and Buddhist traditions. Our lineage of blessing comes through Guru Nanak, Bhagwan Sri Chand, Yogi Bhajan, Bhagwan Nityananda, Mother of Auroville, Sri Anandamayima, Dr. Il Bung Seo, Swami Rudrananda, Gangteng Tulku Rinpoche, Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche, Ayang Rinpoche, Lopon Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, and Kabir.
The teaching and practice birthed through gathering around our aim is Rudra Yoga. The Rudra Yoga Description, Four Prime Directives, Six Transformational Sutras, Yamas and Niyamas, The Truth About Love, You Are Responsible Training, the Rudra Yoga Program and the New Being Project Manual are what support us to be awake, to be responsible, and therefore to be of service as stewards of the Light.
Key teachings of our Aquarian Age Sufi School and Bön School are expressed in the poetry of Kabir and Rumi, The Theory of Eternal Life by Rodney Collin, The Joy of Sacrifice by E.J. Gold, Secret Talks with Mr. G by E.J. Gold, Spiritual Cannibalism by Swami Rudrananda, Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism by Chögyam Trüngpa Rinpoche, and Heartdrops of the Dharmakaya by Lopon Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche, as well as Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein, Voyage to Arcturus by David Lindsay, Son of Man by Robert Silverberg, and More Than Human by Theodore Sturgeon, as well as The Man Who Tapped the Secrets of the Universe by Glenn Clark, and You Can't Afford the Luxury of a Negative Thought by Peter McWilliams.
The elaborations of Rudra Yoga are presented in the Rudra Yoga Program, a five-year practice and study, comprised of twenty courses, offered as residential and online intensives four times each year during the solstices and equinoxes. Foundation and integration practices and teachings are woven together with the five yogic traditions of Hatha, Kundalini, Tao, Tibetan and Bön, and the paths of Sufi and Tantra to stabilize the awakened state through waking, dreaming, dreamless sleep and death, and afford us the ability to consciously create.
New Being Project, formed in 1974 as Circle of Friends, is a living Being, ever-expanding, breathing and dancing with the changing times and the evolution of humankind. The teachings offered by this Circle of Friends are precepts common to all major spiritual traditions and have as their ultimate aim individual and universal wholeness.

A Community of Friendship, Healing, and Transformation
Hello Dear Friends,
New Being Project has stayed constant in our mission despite the many challenges of recent years. From March 2021 through 2024 we created new ways to practice, grow, and train together, both experienced and new, by offering an abundance of teachings and gatherings via Zoom. The necessity to keep our community connected during this time significantly stretched our resources.
As we started 2024, we optimistically organized several in-person events with great success. We thrive in community. We have much to do to fully realize our mission.
In this year 2025, we intend to focus on:
Ensuring the work of our lineage is preserved and made available to an ever-growing community of those drawn to the teachings of our spiritual lineage.
