SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: Peaceful Mind\, Peaceful Heart – A Five-Week Course
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: Peaceful Mind\, Peaceful Heart – A Five-Week Course \nwith Lani Miller \nTuesdays\, March 11th – April 8th\, 2025 | 6:30pm – 8:30pm ET \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor\n \n\n“Praise and blame\, Gain and Loss\, Pleasure and Pain\, Fame and Disrepute are the eight worldly winds. They ceaselessly change. As a mountain is unshaken by the wind so the heart of a wise person is unmoved by all of the changes on this earth.” -The Buddha \nThe possibilities for us to be truly happy and peaceful in this life greatly increase when we are able to respond to life’s changes with awareness and balance. \nThe Buddha taught that when we are able to open to the truth of impermanence with the balance of equanimity\, we are more open to the possibility of a peaceful mind and heart. Through our own direct experience\, we come to realize that we have a choice and can let go of trying to control what cannot be controlled. By doing so\, we discover that greater and greater happiness can come our way. \nIn this five week course\, we will explore the beautiful practice of equanimity together. We will learn from observing our individual patterns of reactivity and noticing how it feels when we are able to respond\, instead of react\, to life’s circumstances. \nThe course will include time for meditation\, along with supportive practices and processes to help us explore how to bring the Buddha’s teachings on equanimity into our lives. There will be time for group sharing and interaction.  \nIn-Person Registration:\nPlease register below. If you are able\, registering at the “Supporter” level enables others to attend at the “Subsidized” level. Thank you for your generosity!

SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: Investigating the Three Characteristics of Existence
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: Investigating the Three Characteristics of Existence\n \nwith Elaine Retholtz\n \nMondays\, March 17th – April 21st\, 2025 (skips April 14th) | 9:30am – 11:30am ET\n \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor\n \n\nThese days\, the world feels more precarious than ever—political divisions are widening\, the climate crisis is accelerating\, wars are multiplying\, and the foundations of democracy appear more fragile than ever. \nIn times of such uncertainty\, we often reflexively cling to our identities\, opinions\, and the need for control. But this grasping–whether to a sense of self\, certainty\, or the way we think things should be—only intensifies our suffering. \nThe Buddha’s teachings on anatta (not-self)\, anicca (impermanence)\, and dukkha (suffering) offer a path to navigating this intensity with more clarity and resilience. \nIn this new in-person and online course\, meditation teacher Elaine Retholtz will lead an exploration of how these teachings apply to the challenges we face today. How can we engage with the world without becoming consumed by outrage or despair? How do we work for change without rigidly attaching to our views? How do we meet uncertainty without shutting down? \nThrough meditation\, reflection\, and discussion\, we’ll explore practical ways to loosen our grip on fixed identities\, stay present in difficult times\, and develop a deeper\, more sustainable way of responding to the world around us. \nIn-Person Registration:\nPlease register below.

Maybe you’ve been married for twenty years (or two) and you’re feeling burdened by routine. Perhaps you’re struggling to relate to parents or co-workers whose political views differ from your own. Or maybe you just feel like your friendships aren’t as “deep” as they used to be.  \nThe truth is that all of us can create lasting and joyful connections with the people around us. In this course\, you’ll learn to develop positive connections with yourself and those close to you\, and practice using your communication and actions to foster gratitude\, set wise boundaries\, and create deeper and long-lasting attachments of mutual support and caring. Together we’ll learn Buddhist strategies for cultivating appreciation\, setting wise expectations\, and creating meaningful and intimate bonds of mutual support and kindness with our partners\, family\, and friends.  \nThis program is appropriate for and open to anyone who wants to rekindle their connections and rediscover the beauty of supportive\, loving relationships. No experience with meditation or Buddhism is necessary\, and all are welcome.  \nWe’ll be working from and referencing Kimberly’s new book Happy Relationships: 25 Buddhist Practices to Transform Your Connection with Your Partners\, Family\, and Friends\, a practical guidebook for cultivating appreciation\, setting healthy expectations\, and nurturing meaningful\, intimate attachments\, using traditional tools of mindfulness and lovingkindness practices.
