The Philosophy
The Santaran Way, crafted by Igoy, is a philosophy of self-mastery, generosity, and holistic action. It empowers you to know yourself, give to others, and fix problems at all scales, fostering mutual help. Through three books and practices like daily meditation, Devil’s Night (October 30th), and the Summer Solstice Feast (June 20–22), it guides you to live with purpose, balance, and no harm to self or others.
Core Principles:
- Know Thyself: Master your nature to shape your destiny.
- Give More: Build connections through selfless generosity.
- Fix All: Unite to solve problems and create wholeness.

Core Practices
Daily Meditation
Center yourself with 5–10 minutes of mindful breathing (inhale 4 seconds, hold 4, exhale 4). Ask, “What is my nature today?” to align with *Know Thyself* (Book One, 1.4.2–4.7).
Devil’s Night (October 30th)
Honor your shadow self safely through creative expression (e.g., dance, art) without harm, as in the author’s tradition (Book One, 1.4.3). Express wildness responsibly.
Summer Solstice Feast (June 20–22)
Celebrate community with a shared meal, stories, and joyful expression, fostering *Give More* and *Fix All*. Ensure no harm to self or others.
Safe Wildness
Express your untamed nature (passion, creativity) in ways that uplift, balancing freedom with responsibility (Book One, 1.4.4–4.8).
