Summer 2009
TSK Retreats
Center for Creative Inquiry

 
This summer CCI will offer two TSK Retreats at the beautiful Ratna Ling Retreat Center in the Sonoma coastal range of Northern California.  These retreats are open to anyone who has participated in at least one of the online TSK programs that have been offered over the past year, or who has experience with the TSK vision from some other source and receives approval to attend. 
 
Ratna Ling
 Retreat
 Center

Set in the hills of Sonoma near the Pacific Ocean, Ratna Ling is a wonderful place for doing intensive practice. Food and accommodations are superb and the staff go to great lengths to make everyone feel welcome.  
 
Being at Ratna Ling is already an invitation to explore space and time, opening beyond  conventional ways of being. It will be really special to take advantage of these resources with a group ready for focused inquiry. 
 
To learn more:
 
We can provide transportation from Berkeley to Ratna Ling and back for those who need it. 
 
 
TSK Summer Retreat, June 21-26
 
The freedom that space offers can be shut down through the mechanisms of thought and our commitment to stories focused on the self.  We will explore ways to restore that freedom by restoring the openness of space, activating the dynamic of time, and engaging the light of knowledge.  
 
The retreat will focus on intensive practice.  Compared to the online course, there will be more emphasis on the formal TSK exercises.   We will do a lot of structured practice, both together as a group and individually.  We can go for hikes in the woods, practice on the beach, do big-sky practice, and explore what we are learning together.  This can be a deepening experience for anyone who has been exploring the vision, whether for three months or 30 years.

As many of you know, the TSK vision is dear to my heart.  I am convinced that it has a tremendous amount to offer the West.  I am excited at the prospect that some of us who appreciate its potential can work together to make those possibilities a reality.
