SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: Mindful Writing - Finding Our Authentic Voice
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: Mindful Writing – Finding Our Authentic Voice\n \nwith Tracy Cochran\n \nFridays\, September 12th – October 10th\, 2025 | 4:00pm – 5:30pm ET\n \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor\n \n\n“If you’re invested in security and certainty\, you are on the wrong planet\,” teaches Pema Chodron. Yet the Buddha found a way to be grounded and clear in this ever-changing world—and he offered us his path. \nCombining mindfulness meditation with mindful writing\, we will discover how in the Buddha’s own time following the “right” steps meant living in alignment with our authentic nature.  \nEach week we will begin with a guided meditation to ground in a state of relaxed presence. Next\, we will practice writing mindfully together. Each week teacher Tracy Cochran will provide fresh prompts aimed at helping you remember your own deepest experience—moments of connection and joy and wisdom. We will create a safe space together so that we can listen deeply to our authentic selves. Some may wish to share what they write but there will be no pressure to do so.  \nJoin us on five successive Fridays as we explore the Buddha’s teachings and how they can spark enhanced creativity and expand our experience of the world.  \nThis course is suitable for all beings—no meditation or writing experience required. \nWhat is the cure for the suffering that comes from feeling isolated and insecure? Guided by the steps of the Buddha’s ancient path\, we will experiment with how good it can feel to be part of a greater story. \nNote: If you’re not able to attend every session\, feel free to sign up for any number of “drop-in” sessions on the in-person or online registration forms below. \nIn-Person Registration:\nPlease register below.

SUMMARY:Online: The Four Ennobling Truths
DESCRIPTION:Online: The Four Ennobling Truths\n \nwith Elaine Retholtz\n \nMondays\, September 15th – October 6th\, 2025 | 9:30am – 11:30am ET\n \nOnline via Zoom\n \n\nYou might have read or heard about the Buddha’s Four Noble Truths\, but what are they\, really? How do we integrate these teachings into daily life? \nThe Four Noble Truths—one of the Buddha’s first teachings—offer a structured yet flexible guide for cultivating wisdom and ethical living in a way that is both practical and transformative. These teachings can actually be reframed as the Four Ennobling Truths.  \nAs we investigate their applicability to our lives\, we quickly see how they can lead to a profound sense of freedom from our habitual worries\, emotional reactions\, and obsessions. As Buddhist monk Ajahn Sumedho taught\, “Our practice is not to follow the heart; it is to train the heart.” \nIn this four-week program\, we will explore how the Four Noble Truths can be a source of groundedness\, clarity\, and direction\, even when we are experiencing internal or external chaos.  \nJoin teacher Elaine Retholtz to learn what it means to practice these ancient teachings in the modern world.  \nThis program is open to all—no prior study or experience required. \nOnline 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! (Please note that the registration price includes a base level of teacher support\, and you will have the opportunity to donate more after the program.) \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. \nBring a Buddy: If you are a member of our Circle of Friends\, you’re invited to bring a Dharma buddy to this program for no additional cost.

SUMMARY:In-Person: Tai Chi - Meditation in Motion
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: Tai Chi – Meditation in Motion \nwith Marijke Eliasberg \nWednesday\, September 17th\, 2025 | 5:00pm – 6:00pm \nLocation: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor \n \nIn the Insight\, or vipassana\, meditation tradition\, we talk a lot about noticing the breath\, but what about the rest of the body? \nIn fact\, tai chi is often referred to as “meditation in motion.” This practice is one of slowing down while still feeling energized\, and learning to relax our muscles while maintaining precision. \nThis practice is well-suited to do before sitting meditation—tai chi is one way to get in touch with the wholeness of the breathing body. Some benefits of tai chi include improved muscle strength\, balance\, and flexibility\, and an increase in energy and focus. \nJoin Marijke Eliasberg\, a certified shifu (teacher) of tai chi\, to reconnect with your body and breath\, and empower yourself with basic tools to help maintain a balanced and healthy mind. Eliasberg is a long-time student of the tai chi Great Grandmaster William C. C. Chen\, and is excited to share the joys of practicing this art with the NYI community. \nAll are welcome! No previous experience with tai chi is required to join the sessions. You are free to sign up for a single session\, the whole series\, or anything in-between. This series runs from September 17th through October 8th. \nThis offering is part of New York Insight’s Mindful Movement series. \nRegistration:\nPlease register below for one or more sessions in this series. (Please note that the registration price includes a base level of teacher support\, and you will have the opportunity to donate more after the program.) \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.
