A Rare Invitation to Come Home to Yourself
More than three decades ago, in the stillness of Yucca Valley, Jack Kornfield led a retreat filled with laughter, tears, and profound truth. The recordings—raw and unrehearsed—were tucked away for years.
Now, for the first time, they’re being shared.
The Sacred Journey Home is a lovingly restored course drawn from those rare tapes. These teachings carry the warmth of a different era—before apps, before PowerPoint—yet they speak directly to the longings we still carry today.
This is a journey back to presence. To honesty. To the sacred within your own experience.
Why Take This Class?
Life today can feel overwhelming. Many of us are exhausted—caught between striving and disconnection, healing and holding it all together.
This course isn’t about becoming better. It’s about becoming real.
Whether you’re healing from loss, navigating a life transition, deepening a longtime practice, or simply longing for rest, this course offers a refuge.
- A path back to what matters
- A space to breathe again
- A reminder that you are already whole
You don’t need to be perfect. You don’t need to get anywhere.
You just need to begin—right where you are.
Your Journey Unfolds Through Five Sacred Modules
Each module is rooted in timeless Dharma and the rhythms of real life.
The Path Begins
Walking with Clarity, Integrity, and Courage
Begin with the essentials of the Buddha’s Eightfold Path. This module invites you to walk with purpose—not by striving, but by planting seeds of presence, truth, and compassion.
- Right understanding, aspiration, and speech
- Daily life as spiritual practice
- Conscious sexuality, livelihood, and substance use
- Sitting with discomfort, and trusting inner balance
- The truth of suffering, impermanence, and letting go
Healing from the Inside Out
Resting, Feeling, and Returning to Wholeness
Turn inward with care. This module offers a space to pause, soften, and listen deeply—to the body, the emotions, and the quiet wisdom within.
- Healing trauma with compassion and embodied presence
- Releasing tension and shame held in the body
- Honoring vulnerability as a doorway to soul force
- Noticing thought loops with kindness
- Trusting the rhythm of breath, body, and life
The Sacred Journey of Awakening
Facing the Fire, Returning with Love, and Resting in Peace
Awakening isn’t linear. It asks us to face what we’ve avoided—and return to the world with love. This module holds the full arc: longing, resistance, courage, and homecoming.
- Answering your "sacred question"
- Meeting fear, boredom, and resistance on the path
- The return from retreat as a spiritual offering
- Courage, mindfulness, and the longing to awaken
- Insight, joy, and the strength found in letting go
Living in Rhythm
Embracing Change and Bringing Practice to Life
This is where the teachings leave the cushion and meet your life. Learn to bring presence into traffic, parenting, grief, creativity—and recognize the sacred in the everyday.
- The cosmic dance of expansion and contraction
- Making peace with impermanence and seasons of the soul
- Loving what is, and dissolving separation
- Finding compassion in daily struggles and relationships
- Trusting your unique rhythm of solitude and service
Karma, Identity, and the Deep Heart
Awakening Through Wholeness and Intention
This final module brings you to the mystery at the heart of the Dharma: that you are not a fixed self—but a sacred unfolding. You’ll discover how to meet your life with intention, forgiveness, and love.
- Karma, personality, and planting seeds that matter
- Turning habitual patterns into compassion
- Self-forgiveness and the simplicity of presence
- Emptiness, no-self, and the illusion of control
- Healing through wholeness—without needing to be "better"

A Personal Invitation from Jack
"When I got back from being a monk and started learning how to be a human again, I spent another 10 years learning how to feel. What I discovered was that awakening isn't about escaping our humanity—it's about embracing it fully."
These teachings come from more than thirty years ago, when Joseph Goldstein, Sharon Salzberg, and I were first learning how to bring the Dharma to the West. We came with robes and meditation cushions, fresh from monasteries in Thailand, Burma, and India.
The teachings we carried were beautiful and rigorous. And yet, as we began to teach here, we had to listen deeply. To the culture. To the wounds people were carrying. To the rhythms of modern life.
This course is a glimpse into that early spirit—before PowerPoint, before apps and podcasts. It’s raw, human, imperfect. And still, it’s filled with the seeds of liberation.
What Shifts When You Take This Journey
From Addiction to Presence
"What happens when we stop is that we begin to touch that which we have kept so busy moving to avoid."
From Self-Hatred to Self-Acceptance
"Opening to the places of our wounding with attention and kindness—that kind of deep self-acceptance is at least half the practice."
From Isolation to Connection
"We are completely interconnected. If we truly saw that we share the resources of this earth, we would relate by openhandedness."
From Striving to Surrender
"It breathes itself, the body breathes... the rhythms are not just external, but within ourselves."
From Fear to Fearlessness
"True fearlessness comes not from escaping pain, but from opening to it with love."
From Doing to Being
"There's a certain humility in spiritual practice. It's not about becoming special. It's about becoming real."
