Death & Rebirth Beyond Time

OCTOBER 11-18, 2026 IN-PERSON PROGRAM
This 8-day intensive retreat, Death & Rebirth Beyond Time, helps us renew and refresh our energy, reigniting the spark that brings joy in just being alive. Together we exchange insights as we explore the very depth of where our consciousness begins to introduce psychological distortions and conflict in our thinking. Please join us for this potentially life-changing Retreat to discover if it is possible for a rebirth of the mind to flower here and now.

Facing Fear

Oct 26-30, 2026 ONLINE IN-DEPTH PROGRAM
Can one have a quiet mind when one is fearful? What is the cost of fear in our lives? How does it interfere with our self-understanding, our relationships, our full presence in the world? How is fear related to judgment, to control, to the “shoulds” we impose upon life? Krishnamurti suggests that we can stay with our fear until we understand its cause at the deepest level, and that doing so will eliminate it. He had apparently done so. Is it possible for us? How can we find out?

The Action of Immediacy in Daily Living

Nov 2-6, 2026 ONLINE IN-DEPTH PROGRAM
As we go through our lives, there are often various conditionings moving. We often feel that these conditionings prevent us from being with ‘what is’ and truly living. Is this actually true? What if truly living is whatever we feel is getting in its way, being fully present now, in an immediate and wordless way? Krishnamurti spoke of action, which affects our very perceiving and being. What happens when our conditioning is immediate and present now? Is this immediacy itself action, without our striving to make it happen?

Silent Retreat

November 13-15, 2026 IN-PERSON PROGRAM
These three-day silent retreats emerge from a simple but profound invitation: to spend several days doing nothing other than remaining with what is actually happening within oneself — not analyzing it, not improving it, not resolving it, but allowing the content of consciousness to slow down and reveal itself.

Freedom from the Known

Dec 7-11, 2026 ONLINE IN-DEPTH PROGRAM
We carry with us an accumulation of memories, experiences, hurts, pleasures, successes, disappointments, beliefs, and images of ourselves and others. Do we see that we are incessantly protecting, reinforcing and adding to what is already known and that it is through this lens that we meet the present? Can we see another person without the image we have created of them? Can we experience ourselves without relying on the story we have accumulated about who we are? Is it possible to encounter life, moment to moment, with a freshness and innocence?
