INQUIRING INTO SPACE –

As a facilitator, I recently shared this post with the Monday-TSK Study Group, because we have just finished a two-year deep-reading of ‘Knowledge of Time and Space‘ (KTS), and now we’re studying, ‘Visions of Knowledge‘ (VOK), both books by Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche. I am posting here fore easy reference for the group’s benefit, and for anyone interested in exploring the subject. Read more at the link:

Right now, are you where you thought you would be?
Have you accomplished what you hoped to do?
Are you surprised by how things have gone?
By what is going on in this country?

Look at your own life, and you will see that the future seldom unfolds the way we thought it would. Trying to freeze the future in place is a hopeless task.

Instead of trying to make things turn out the way we want,
we can let the dynamic of the always-arriving future power our lives from moment to moment—
an endless source of creativity and an unending resource for fulfillment.

Unfreezing the Future:
Dealing with change by riding the dynamic of time.

“The Complexity of the Intimate” is a two-part, experiential workshop that explores intimacy not just as romantic closeness, but as the everyday ways we learn to be present, honest, and connected with ourselves and others.

Drawing on somatic practices, meditation, and insights from teachers like bell hooks, adrienne maree brown, Tarthang Tulku and Lama Rod Owens. We’ll slow down together, explore intimacy as resonance, trust, recognition of awareness and practice relating from a place of presence rather than ingrained patterns.

Whether you’re looking to deepen relationships, understand your emotional patterns, or cultivate a more grounded sense of connection, this workshop offers practical tools and spacious reflection to support a more authentic, courageous intimacy.

📆 Dates and Time
January 31st & February 7th, 2026, 12:00-3:00pm PT
