Pransky's Annual Professional Training Retreat
Deepen your grounding. Reconnect with the feeling. Learn from the pioneers of the Three Principles.
October 8-11, 2026
La Conner, WA or Online
Join George & Linda Pransky, Wyn Morgan, and Erika Bugbee in La Conner, WA—or virtually—for four days of learning, laughter, and insight that will stay with you long after it ends.
A Space for Deep Understanding
Each year, practitioners, coaches, and teachers from around the world gather for this retreat to explore the depth and simplicity of the Three Principles.
It’s a space where intellect quiets, connection deepens, and new insights emerge naturally.
Whether you’re brand new or have been in this field for decades, you’ll see something new about how to teach, share, and live from the understanding.
This isn’t a training full of techniques or strategies—it’s an immersion into the feeling behind the Principles, where true learning takes place.
Five Decades of Sharing the Simplicity of the Mind
For 50 years, Dr. George and Linda Pransky have been at the forefront of sharing the Three Principles discovered by Sydney Banks.
Through their pioneering work with individuals, couples, organizations, and practitioners, they’ve helped shape a global movement rooted in simplicity, clarity, and kindness.
George and Linda are known not only for their depth and mastery, but for their warmth, humor, and humanity. Their teaching is grounded in real life—accessible, profound, and alive with feeling.
Whether you’re seeing them for the first time or returning after many years, you’ll experience something new every time you sit in their presence.
In Conversation with Wyn Morgan & Erika Bugbee
We’re delighted to be joined once again by Wyn Morgan and Erika Bugbee—two practitioners whose depth, clarity, and authenticity bring a dynamic richness to the retreat.
Wyn Morgan brings over a decade of connection with George and Linda, combining humor, groundedness, and heartfelt insight in everything he shares.
Erika Bugbee offers her own unique blend of practicality and presence, drawing from over 20 years of work with clients and practitioners and a lifetime immersed in the Principles.
Together, this group brings warmth, humility, and a shared spirit of exploration that creates an atmosphere of genuine discovery.
Four Days of Learning, Connection, and Insight
The retreat unfolds through large-group conversations, live demonstrations, and open dialogue. There’s no rigid curriculum or performance—just real, spontaneous exploration.
Participants often describe the experience as grounding, life-giving, and full of feeling. Many return year after year, each time hearing something new that shifts the way they see and share this understanding.
You’ll leave with:
-
A quieter, clearer mind
-
A renewed sense of inspiration in your work
-
A deeper, more intuitive connection to the feeling behind the Principles
-
An expanded community of like-hearted practitioners

No matter how many times I come, I always leave with a full heart and a deeper sense of grounding within myself. This impacts every area of my life in wonderful and unexpected ways. George and Linda Pransky, Erika Bugbee, and Wyn Morgan create a transformative learning experience that goes far beyond professional development. It touches my soul and gives me a deeper experience of who I am. I can't recommend their training highly enough."

Quiet Mind, Deep Feeling
"It's a cold February morning, in the quaint northwestern fishing village of La Conner, Washington. There are about fifty people in the room. The mood and energy of the room is off the charts high. It is positive and heartfelt. At the front of the room are the three presenters. They have been life long teachers and practitioners of quiet mind. They come to the front of the room to start the session, sit down, look around the group. A quick moment of greeting and then they calmly ask, "What should we talk about?" Who does that? Who can get away with that? Every other conference and gathering I have attended over the past 30 years would never dream of doing that. Doesn't the presenter have to have an agenda? Doesn't the presenter have to know where they want to lead the group? How they want to educate the attendees? Won't the people who paid to be there feel ripped off by the appearance that the presenter has no direction they are taking the group? Won't the mood of the room drop to boredom? The presenters begin to share. Their speech is slow. There is no music in the background to hype the mood. They pause often. As the sharing and dialogue with the audience unfolds, the depth of the discussion is simply profound. Awe inspiring is an accurate description. Every other meeting I had ever attended fell into two camps. Either the organizers of the event worked furiously to manufacture emotions, with music, movement, clapping, shouting anything in an attempt to raise and maintain high feelings. Or, the event was deadly dull. I would be left with feeling either manipulated or regretful that I traveled this far for information better suited to a zoom call from the comfort of my home. Also, the all day conference only had two sessions....10-12 and 2-4. All other events are desperate to cram in information all day long, to make people feel they got their money's worth. There were times during the sessions when the whole room was absolutely silent. Not a pregnant pause, but pure silence.... for 10 seconds, even 30 seconds. That may not seem like a long time, but in a room full of fifty people, 30 seconds is nearly eternity. Even in a conversation with a friend, try having 30 seconds of silence and the uncomfortable feelings will be unbearable. During this silence, no one wanted to pierce the high feeling. There was an intense beauty to the shared feeling in the room. A magical depth to the high feelings. This was a group of humans interacting on a soul level. Not emotional manipulation, but real heartfelt depth. How did this happen? How did it come about without organized intention? I know the experience was real and true. And doesn't need an explanation. But here is my feeble attempt to answer how. The presenters had a quiet mind. Quiet mind in our fast paced world is non existent rare. The quiet mind of the presenters created a space where all of us could experience quiet mind. The quiet mind allowed the depth of feelings. Feelings so strong and so pure they make manipulated emotions seem pitifully fake. The quiet mind allowed all of us to go deeper than emotions and touch that part of us that makes us human. That part of our souls which is eternal, infinite, unbreakable. Quiet mind doesn't mean empty mind. Quiet mind doesn't mean you are in a trance or comatose. Quiet mind means freedom. Freedom from a busy mind filled with the absolute mundane. Freedom from a mind focused on controlling the world. Freedom from the petty annoyances and bother that consume so much of our thinking. It seems most people fear a quiet mind, thinking they will lose some of their identity and be bored. Losing a busy mind is no loss. Dropping in to quiet mind allows the most intense feelings humanly possible. It connects you with what life is really about and what is our true shared human experience. I left this gathering not with a lot of knowledge I will never use. I didn't leave feeling I was now smarter and better. All I left with is some of the purest feelings I have ever felt. And that is beautiful. Thank you George Pransky, Linda Pransky, Mark Howard and the team who created this space." Dusty Rollins ProTrain Participant Feb 2023 Virtual Mentee
