We live on the surface of time, moving from moment to moment without ever really connecting with time’s inner dynamic. Cut off from the depth of experience, we easily feel frustrated, isolated, emotional, and resentful.

It doesn’t have to be that way. We can heal our connection to time, and discover that time is the beating heart of experience. It’s like finding our way back from exile, like coming home. New ways of knowing and being become available, and we move naturally toward joy and inner peace.

This retreat will draw on short readings from Chapters 29 and 30 of Tarthang Tulku’s Dynamics of Time and Space. It will emphasize practice and discussion.

Location & Accommodations

We are pleased to offer this summer retreat at Ratna Ling Retreat Center in Sonoma County, one of the premier retreat centers in Northern California (www.ratnaling.org).

You will be staying by yourself or with one other person in a luxury cottage. Whether or not cottages are shared depends on COVID-19 conditions at the time of the retreat. In shared cottages, each person has their own room; the bathroom and living room is shared. For details, see: https://ratnaling.org/accommodations/
