SUMMARY:In-Person: Soulcentric Mid-Life - A Five Month Course
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: Soulcentric Mid-Life – A Five-Month Course \n \nwith Lin Wang Gordon\n \nFive Saturdays: August 12th\, September 23rd\, October 21st\, November 18\, December 2nd\, 2023 | 2:00pm – 5:00pm ET\n \nLocation: Still Mind Zendo\, 37 W 17th St\, #6W\nNew York\, NY\n \nAre you in your 40s and 50s and thinking about the second half of your life? \nEvery life stage brings its own gifts. Each life stage has its own purpose in our development as a whole being. In every season of our life\, there are changes and growth\, letting go and rebirth. Midlife could bring us menopause\, greying hair\, childcare\, eldercare\, an empty nest\, loss of loved ones\, second careers\, and relationship changes..but we also have more life experiences and skills than we had in our younger years. Perhaps we also have more time and resources to find joy and explore our passions. While our culture likes to associate this time in our life with turmoil and crisis\, it could also be a great time for inner growth\, clarity\, and purpose. \nIn this 5-month course\, we will use inquiries\, experiential exercises\, and meditation practice to explore our underlying emotions around midlife issues. What are our fears\, doubts\, agitation\, hopes\, and dreams? How do we make peace with the life we have led so far? How do we live a fulfilling life with the time we have left? As we have learned from our life experiences so far\, have we started to live in accordance with our inner values and deepest desires? How do we let go of our former selves and keep evolving? This class is for exploring questions rather than having answers. It is based on Buddhist philosophy to help us transform our mind in approaching these inquiries. It is highly interactive and experiential in nature – we will spend much time in group work and less time in formal sitting practice. Central to this course is building a community among people in the midlife stage. \nThis is an in-person course and will meet monthly on a Saturday for half a day. We will meditate\, journal\, form buddy groups\, and build community through sharing\, dialogues\, and group works. \nThis course will meet once Saturday a month for five months. We will meditate\, journal\, form buddy groups\, and build community through sharing and dialogue. \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. \n \nRegistration Fees include Teacher Support\nNew York Insight Meditation Center has streamlined the registration fee levels.

SUMMARY:Online: The Healing Gift Of Being With What Is
DESCRIPTION:Online: The Healing Gift Of Being With What Is \n \nwith Lani Miller\n \nTuesdays\, August 15th\, 22nd\, 29th & September 12th\, 2023 (skip Sept 5th) | 7:00pm – 9:00pm ET\n \n\n \nAs living beings we experience and carry our share of wounds and places in need of healing. The Buddha’s teachings include a path that ultimately offers us healing from all suffering. \nIn this course we will explore how learning to be fully present in each moment with what is happening in our bodies\, hearts\, and minds can be deeply healing.  \nTogether we will practice connecting with and bringing loving awareness to our direct experience through Vipassana meditation (a Mindfulness practice) and Metta (Loving Kindness) meditation.  \nWe will look at and explore the obstacles and challenges we encounter in this process of opening and how to relate to and move through these difficult places.  \nBringing qualities of interest and kindness to our exploration\, we will investigate how the qualities of allowing what is and letting go can enhance and create space for this opening and healing to occur. \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.\n \nRegistration Fees include Teacher Support\nNew York Insight Meditation Center has streamlined the registration fee levels.
