Out of Your Head and into Your Life
With Jack Petranker
April 25 – May 9, Saturdays from 10:00 – 11:30am Pacific, Three weeks
Online via Zoom
Cost: $100
We mostly live in a world built up out of the stories we tell and the judgments we make. We dwell on the past and worry about the future, judge ourselves and others, and cope with anxiety and emotionality. We cut ourselves off from being truly alive.
In this program, we will explore ways to challenge those patterns. The point is not to introduce new practices or have special experiences, but to see the world with new eyes. When we do, we can free ourselves from bias, agitation, and disappointment.
Jack Petranker is the founder of the Center for Creative Inquiry and its Senior Teacher. A close student of Tibetan lama Tarthang Tulku for more than four decades, he is the author of One with the World: A Path to Living with Presence and Appreciation (forthcoming, 2026)
