"Relaxation is essential for the full expression of power."

George Leonard,
The Life We Are Given

The holiday season can be a time of great joy, but also intense challenges. Empower yourself to navigate the ebb and flow of these times by staying intentional on the goals you've set for yourself, perhaps with a focus on being "balanced, vital and healthy" this winter! 

This month we highlight the power of Focus and Surrender that permeates our practice. Below are resources to help you re-calibrate your practice and gain insight into the value of practicing focus and surrender. Also enjoy an inspiring talk from Richard Baker-roshi to re-invigorate your practice of meditation.
Wishing you the best with your transformation!

Happy season of joy,
ITP International Team


Growth requires both stress and recovery. However, growth without stress leads to atrophy, and stress without recovery leads to breakdown. ITP Mastery teacher, Max Gaenslen shares insight into why Focus and Surrender is an important component of this transformative practice.

"There is a human striving for self-transcendence. It's part of what makes us human. With all of our flaws we want to go a little bit further than we've gone before and maybe even further than anyone else has gone before."
