Special Announcement: 2022 Retreats

Our complete line up of residential retreats this year.

Saying Yes to Experience

Led by Jack Petranker
July 17-22, 2022 at Ratna Ling Retreat Center, California
Cost: $1,695

Learn how to activate the radical immediacy available within our ordinary experience.


We live in a world shaped by the stories we tell about it—stories centered on the self. Using a logic that starts with the existence of the self, we turn knowledge into a tool that we use to uphold our own limits.


In this retreat, we will question this commitment to the self and the therapeutic mindset it puts in place. Focusing strongly on practice, we will learn how to activate the radical immediacy available within our ordinary experience, if only we know how to look for it. We will learn what it means to say “yes” to experience, to discover freedom within the patterns of the ordinary and bring it into every moment.

Full Presence Mindfulness Annual Retreat

Led by Ignacio Ercole and Morgan Wells
September 20-25, 2022 at Ratna Ling Retreat Center, California
Cost: $1,500

FPM is designed to open every dimension of our experience —sensations, emotions, thoughts, and how we connect with others. Its vision is to offer a new way to see the world and our place in it. It draws on the teachings of Tibetan lama Tarthang Tulku as presented in the Time, Space, Knowledge Vision.


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.
