| Speaking From Your Heart with Jean-Claude van Itallie at Ratna Ling retreat Center
April 12-15, 2012 $425
Instructor: Jean-Claude van Itallie |
Laying the groundwork through different kinds of movement and meditation, gently guided by Jean-Claude, you’ll center yourself according to his unique disciplines. Taking your time and staying in movement, you’ll address the circle of your encouraging fellow workshop participants. Slowly performing the powerful practice of speaking from your heart, your breath will be liberated from anxiety. You’ll easily enter remembered or imagined places, giving voice to what you see, hear, smell, touch and taste. An astonishingly muscular, personal language will spontaneously emerge from you. Words created in this way are visceral, rhythmical, and, if written down by a fellow participant, alive on the page too.

| Deep Listening with Pauline Oliveros

Sound is time—every note is a lifetime for itself. And sound resides in space—melody, timbre, and harmony are in a multi-dimensional dance. This workshop explores sound in time and space through improvisation with musical instruments, along with other forms of experiential inquiry. Learn how sound and music work directly on our bodies, hearts, and minds, offering healing and inspiration. No musical ability necessary.Lunch will be from 12.30-1:30. Participants are welcome to bring lunch, or dine at one of the many restaurants within easy walking distance of the building.

| Mind Spaces:
Online course in the April 22 – May 27 |
This spring’s course continues the exploration of how the TSK vision links the openness of space to the boundless capacity to know, seeing all appearance as the projection of knowledge− appreciation merging with allowing to sweep away the stale perceptions of thought and desire. This online program is presented live on the web, with opportunities for continuing online dialog and discussion. Over the six weeks of the program, we will read and explore experientially Chapters 7-8 in Tarthang Tulku’s Dynamics of Time and Space (Dharma Publishing, 1994).
Join us in this ongoing exploration of Tarthang Tulku’s Time, Space, and Knowledge Vision, a radical re-imagining of what it means to be alive. |

| Time Space & Knowledge: a New Vision of Reality
Sunday, March 25 £10 waged; £5 unwaged
|
In this introduction to the TSK vision, we will use exercises, discussion and a few short readings to discover how easy it is to let go of fixed positions and identities. Come discover the simple, powerful, and liberating methods of TSK, a teaching designed by a leading Tibetan lama for the Western mind.
Through exercises, discussion, and creative inquiry, TSK gives access to a deeper level of being, where real and lasting change can happen. It invites us to rediscover space as allowing, time as dynamic, and knowledge as fundamental to reality, not “owned” by the one who knows. |
