Online: Your History Is Here Inside Your Body
with Bob Stahl
Thursday, March 5th, 2026 | 6:30pm – 8:30pm ET
These days, we hear a lot about “being in the body.” But what might this really mean?
In this two-hour online event, longtime mindfulness teacher and author Bob Stahl will guide us through a unique Buddhist practice known as the Contemplation of the 32 Parts of the Body Meditation. Together, we’ll work on understanding the true nature of the body, reflect on its impermanence, and discuss how to think about our body as made up of four primary elements: solidity, liquidity motion, and temperature.
This practice is recommended for those seeking new healing ways to relate to their bodies.
Anyone who is curious about this special meditation practice is welcome to attend.
Note: This program will be recorded. The recording will be sent to all registrants after the program, so please feel free to sign up even if you cannot join in real time.
