Living Without Stress: A Mindfulness and Yoga Retreat

Jack Petranker, a direct student of Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche for 45 years, guides participants in uncovering hidden patterns that create stress and striving. This retreat combines mindfulness teachings with gentle yoga practice in the serene redwood setting of Ratna Ling.

Through guided meditation, contemplative inquiry, and yoga sessions, participants learn to recognize and release the habitual patterns of tension that underlie daily stress. The retreat offers a rare opportunity to study with a teacher deeply steeped in the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
