Mountain Institute is a spiritual school dedicated to serving humanity's evolution through the practical use of ancient meditation techniques. We are a non-profit, non-denominational organization; all are welcome to join us in awakening to their path of Divinity.
Mountain Institute was founded in 1988 by Jerry Densow, Sat Guru Sat-Ananda. Jerry studied under the auspices of Audle Allison, Sat Guru Nirvananada, from 1974 until Audle's death in 1988. Together with his sister, Kathi Arnold, Sat Guru Sat Devanada, who also studied with Audle for 12 years, Jerry has been carrying on Audle's Lamplighting and Kriya tradition, serving students throughout the country in dedicated devotion to the lineage of our school.
In 1990 Jerry founded Ouray Mountain Institute with Kathi Arnold and Colleen Bixler. In 2004, Jerry left Mountain Institute under the capable leadership of Kathi, and moved to Montrose to work with Ouray Mountain Institute in a full time capacity.
Amber Rateau, Sat Muktinaya, is a direct descendant of this lineage. As Kathi's daughter, she knew Audle as a young child and began meditating under Jerry's instruction at the age of 10. In March 2009, Amber was named successor to Kathi as Co-Spiritual Director of Mountain Institute. It is in humble gratitude and with great enthusiasm that she undertakes this role.
