Full Presence Mindfulness 5-day Retreat with Jack Petranker

At Ratna Ling Retreat Center among the beautiful Northern California redwoods

The mindfulness movement has popularized a healthier way of relating to thoughts and emotions. Full Presence Mindfulness builds on this movement, drawing on the teachings of Tibetan Lama Tarthang Tulku, as presented in his Time, Space, Knowledge Vision. FPM is designed to open every dimension of our experience —sensations, emotions, thoughts, and how we connect with others. It offers a new way to see the world and our place in it.

Except for evening sessions, the retreat program will be held in silence. We start with breathing and sensory exercises for grounding, then go on to look at how we shape our world through the stories we tell and live. As we learn to recognize the patterns that hold us back, we find new resources for acting on our highest values and promoting real and lasting change.
