The Silent Pulse: An ITP Retreat

June 24–26, 2025
Mill Valley, Ca

“At the heart of each of us...there exists a silent pulse of perfect rhythm...which is absolutely individual and unique...which connects us to everything in the universe.”
– George Leonard, The Silent Pulse: A Search for the Perfect Rhythm That Exists in Each of Us



Reading and internalizing George Leonard’s “The Silent Pulse” opens you to new capabilities that push the envelope of human evolution… and the role you play in it.

Leonard teaches that Holonomy — the idea that our individual self (or soul) is part of a universal oneness – offers a blueprint for increasing resonance with the world. We can learn to see through the eyes of another, feel through another’s hands, and communicate with another across vast spaces.

Participants will enter a living laboratory of Integral Transformative Practice and can expect to leave with a sense of being more tuned in to one’s purpose, having gained tools to stretch the edges of possibility, and insight into tapping into your own extraordinary capabilities that offer the tantalizing promise of pushing the envelope of human evolution.

What You’ll Experience

  • Movement-based energy awareness practices rooted in Aikido
  • Explorations of “the silent pulse” through guided embodiment work
  • Partner and group exercises to foster connection
  • Training on the ITP Kata – a revitalizing daily practice
  • Creative expression, reflection, and immersion in the breathtaking surroundings (just minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge and yet a world away).
  • Time for rest, delicious food, and integration

The event is inclusive and welcoming to all including newcomers to ITP, longtime practitioners, Leonard devotees, and anyone seeking a transformative, deeply connected experience that gives practical tools for enhancing this life we are given. No prior experience necessary. Just bring your curiosity and willingness to engage.
