Silent Retreat: What are you doing with your Life?

September 4-6, 2026 IN-PERSON PROGRAM
In this weekend retreat, we will spend time together silently exploring what we are doing with our lives, both in terms of livelihood and the quality of our relationships. From there we will explore the importance of finding out what one is truly passionate about. For Krishnamurti, that included meditation and living a meditative life. The schedule will consist of silent sitting together, exposure to Krishnamurti's work through video and audio, as well as a silent hike (weather permitting) and nourishing vegetarian meals.

What Are We Doing With Our Lives?

Sep 14-18, 2026 ONLINE IN-DEPTH PROGRAM
What are we doing with our lives? Do I feel my life slipping by while I go through the whole repetitive nature of everyday existence? I have obligations, commitments to work and family; moments of apparent freedom in the form of hobbies and various entertainments. Life is full of the pressures of modern living including stress, economic concerns, health issues and relationship conflicts. Inwardly is there boredom, or perhaps the struggles of loneliness, fear, depression and confusion?

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?
