SUMMARY:In-Person: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Course
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Course \nwith Elaine Retholtz \n\nCourse: Wednesdays\, October 12th – December 7th\, 2022 | 9:30am – 12:00pm ET\nDaylong: Sunday\, November 20th\, 2022 | 9:30am – 5:00pm ET\n \n  \nCourse Description:\nNew York Insight offers ongoing classes in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)\, the ground-breaking and time-tested\, scientifically researched program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979 for the University of Massachusetts Medical School. This transformative course is suited for those coming to meditation for the first time or for experienced meditators who realize they have not yet integrated these practices fully into their lives. The teaching of MBSR at NY Insight is offered by seasoned MBSR teachers\, most of whom are certified by the University of Massachusetts Center for Mindfulness. All of our teachers have decades of meditation practice and study and between them have taught well over 200 cycles of this seminal 8-Week curriculum. \nWhat To Expect:\nMBSR uses meditation\, mindful yoga\, and inquiry/discussion as a way of exploring the habits of the mind to discover how these patterns of reactivity become a major cause of stress and where we could intervene to change them. MBSR helps participants learn to alter their relationship with each moment of their lives and through it derive more joy\, fulfillment\, and meaning from their lives. Classes usually have 25 – 30 participants but may be smaller. The course is experiential: by paying attention to what arises in daily and class practice\, and through exploring the challenges that arise and how these are met\, a supportive and safe container is created for students to feel connected and be inspired. Participants are supported by recorded guided meditations and are expected to practice 30-45 minutes of daily formal meditation as well as various informal practices. \nBenefits of MBSR:\nResearch over the past 38 years indicates that a majority of people who complete this program report a greater ability to cope more effectively with short and long term stressful situations; an increased ability to relax\, lasting decreases in physical and psychological symptoms; reduction in pain levels and enhanced ability to cope with chronic pain and most importantly a greater energy and enthusiasm for life. Some of the Skills People Learn in MBSR Courses: Practical coping skills to improve the ability to handle stressful situations\, Methods for being physically and mentally relaxed and at ease\, Gentle full-body conditioning exercises to strengthen the body and release muscular tension\, The ability to be increasingly aware of the interplay of mind and body in health and illness\, The ability to face change and difficult times in your life with greater ease\, Greater ability to decrease the physical\, mental and emotional effects of the societal stressors of sexism\, racism\, homophobia. \nSome of the Skills People Learn in MBSR Courses: \n\nPractical coping skills to improve the ability to handle stressful situations\nTechniques for being physically and mentally relaxed and at ease\nGentle full body conditioning exercises to strengthen the body and release muscular tension\nThe ability to be increasingly aware of the interplay of mind and body in health and illness\nThe ability to face change and difficult times in life with greater ease\nGreater ability to decrease the physical\, mental and emotional effects of the societal stressors of sexism\, racism\, homophobia\, xenophobia and gender inequity among many other challenges\n\nSliding Scale Course Fee: Sustaining $600 – Base $450\nPlease choose your rate mindfully and be as generous as possible so that NYI can continue to offer financial assistance to those in need of other NYI offerings.

SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: Living Life Through the Dharma
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: Living Life Through the Dharma \nwith Jon Aaron \nThursdays\, October 13th – November 10th\, 2022 | 10:00am – 12:00pm ET\nLocation for In-Person: New York Zendo (Shobo-Ji) on 223 East 67th Street\, NYC \nThe teachings of the Dharma are teachings about life. When we truly take the Dharma in and take refuge in the Dharma our life changes—sometimes in obvious ways\, sometimes in ways we don’t even see. In formal practice\, we experience the dharma in one way\, but it is how we take it into our life—our work\, our relationships\, our illnesses etc—that is truly important. \nIf you are new to the Dharma this will be an ideal introduction\, and like any great teachings\, if you have been practicing for many years your relationship to the teachings will have changed as well. \nThis program will be Online or In-Person. \nFinding Freedom within the Changing Nature of Experience\nThursdays\, October 13th – November 10th\, 2022 from 10:00am – Noon ET (5 classes)\nThe Five Aggregates of Clinging will be the primary teaching explored in this part. This map of the self allows us to both understand and experience the quality of anatta – not-self- the key to freedom. \nFor these weeks we will be grounded in a book by Ben Connelly titled Inside Vasubandhu’s Yogacara.   The Yogacara is a later teaching which straddles the early Buddhist teachings heading into the Mahayana traditions. \nA follow-up course: Embodying Love\nThursdays\, January 12th – February 9th\, 2023 from 10:00am – Noon ET (5 classes)\nAs our practice deepens\, and the boundary between self and other softens\, the unconditional nature of love arises. At the same time\, mindful cultivation through formal practice of the boundless qualities of lovingkindness\, compassion\, resonant joy and equanimity can open the lens of wisdom and break through the barriers which have accumulated over lifetimes. For many\, resentments are a common obstruction to opening the heart and the practice of forgiveness becomes an essential key to these abodes. \nA follow-up course: Finding Balance in All That We Do\nThursdays\, February 16th – March 16th\, 2023 from 10:00am – Noon ET (5 classes)\nThe last of the Seven Awakening Factors\, the last of the Paramis (Ten Perfections) and the Fourth of the Divine Abodes\, equanimity is a quality of freedom which leads to appropriate response. In the world we live in this is a quality of strength and balance imbued with Lovingkindness \nNYI’s Covid Protocol for In-Person Indoors Programs:\nAll participants must be fully vaccinated and have received a Booster shot – Proof of vaccination and booster is required.\nAll participants must register in advance before attending the program.\nAll participants must wear masks at all times.\nDisclaimer:\nProcedures adhere to current CDC\, NY State\, NYC\, and New York Zendo Shobo-Ji guidelines.\nChanges may be applied at any time\, based on these third-party guidelines. \nAll in-person programs may become online programs if circumstances dictate. \nFor the health and safety of our staff\, teachers\, and community\, please do not come onsite if you are feeling unwell. \nRegistration:\nPlease register at the highest level that your generosity offers.\nExplanations of levels follow below.\nIf you are registering via a mobile device such as a phone or tablet\, you can scroll right and left and up and down within the below form if it is partially obscured or cut off.\nCLICK HERE to open the registration form in a new browser window.\nPlease contact registration@nyimc.org if you need assistance. \nFinding Freedom within the Changing Nature of Experience\nIf you are having trouble registering with the form below\, click HERE to open the registration form in a new browser window.\n \nFollow-Up Course: Embodying Love\nIf you are having trouble registering with the form below\, click HERE to open the registration form in a new browser window.\n \nFollow-Up Course: Finding Balance in All That We Do\nIf you are having trouble registering with the form below\, click HERE to open the registration form in a new browser window.\n \nRegistration Fees include Teacher Support\nNew York Insight Meditation Center has streamlined the registration fee levels.

SUMMARY:Online: The Eightfold Path
DESCRIPTION:Online: The Eightfold Path\n \nwith Elaine Retholtz\n \nMondays\, October 24th – December 12th\, 2022 | 9:30am – 11:30am ET\n \n\n \nIn the third Noble Truth\, the Buddha makes the remarkable statement that it is possible to experience the cessation of Dukkha.  \nIn the Fourth Noble Truth\, the Buddha describes the Noble Eightfold Path as the way of practice leading to the cessation of Dukkha. This is not some belief system to take on\, nor a philosophy to be debated.
