A Special Benefit Event for New York Insight
Dharma in an Age of Distress: A Q&A Evening with Joseph Goldstein
Saturday, November 3rd, 2018 | 7:00pm – 9:00pm at Middle Collegiate Church
Bring your questions for a rare evening with one of America’s most beloved Buddhist meditation teachers.
Meditation practice is a journey of understanding our minds and hearts. Throughout this evening, we will explore together how wisdom and compassion can increasingly become the guiding principles of our lives–especially in times of great stress. We will learn practical tools for deepening awareness of ourselves and others, and explore methods for cultivating greater insight, equanimity and kindness in the face of change and challenge.
The registration fee includes teacher support. If you wish to give more in addition to the registration fee, the total (registration fees and additional contributions) will be shared between NYI and the teacher(s).
We have a limited amount of partial financial assistance at $30 a ticket. Please email registration@nyimc.org to request a financial assistance ticket if you cannot pay the sliding scale fees.
