SUMMARY:Postponed: Seeing in the Dark - The Role of the Dreamer in Collective Awakening
DESCRIPTION:Postponed: Seeing in the Dark – The Role of the Dreamer in Collective Awakening \nwith Deborah Eden Tull \nDue to storm Ian\, this daylong retreat is postponed. \nAs our world changes physically and socio-politically\, and more people feel uprooted by global uncertainty\, there is an invitation to dream a more life affirming dream\, on behalf of our collective. One of the gifts of uncertainty is that it requires us to recognize and let go of unconscious biases that have been passed down for generations. These include the perception that splits into opposites and values light over dark\, speed over slowing down\, productivity over attunement\, and the rational mind over intuition\, dreaming\, and conscious use of the imagination. Awakening requires that we soften the habit of binary perception and restore our natural capacity to see clearly in the dark. \nOur collective stories\, while having fed generations of limiting beliefs\, are not who we are. In this time of change\, consciously using our creative imagination on behalf of the whole is perhaps the most important practice there is. \nEngaged meditation invites us to see beyond the seemingly set-in-stone assumptions that the mind of limitation insists upon… and maintain awareness of fluidity and conscious choice within what appears to be solid. This requires letting go of habit\, of passive consumption\, and our investment in collective limiting beliefs. It involves becoming a steward of one’s attention and imagination\, willing to dream on behalf of life. \nThis day-long retreat is inspired by Eden’s newest book\, Luminous Darkness: An Engaged Buddhist Approach to Embracing the Unknown (For Personal and Collective Awakening). The day will include meditation and dharma talks and Q&A\, experiential practices\, and relational mindfulness to help us explore\, in a down-to-earth\, embodied way\, the role of the dreamer in personal and collective awakening. \n  \nIf you have any questions\, please contact registration@nyimc.org. \n

SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: Yom Kippur - A Day of Silence and Reflection
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: Yom Kippur – A Day of Silence and Reflection \nwith Jon Aaron and Elaine Retholtz \nWednesday\, October 5th\, 2022 | 10:00am – 7:00pm ET \nYom Kippur is the Jewish Day of Atonement\, a day when\, as a community\, Jews are asked to reflect on their actions of the past year and to ask for atonement for any actions that were unskillful. In support of this day\, for the past 19 years\, NYI has hosted a day of silence and reflection. \nThis year New York Insight will continue the annual Yom Kippur tradition. As we begin to emerge into a different phase of the pandemic\, we are happy to offer a hybrid event. All are welcome to participate\, however\, there are only limited spaces for those who wish to participate in person\, so pre-registration is absolutely necessary. In addition\, while we acknowledge the culture of “shul hopping” – coming for a part of the day and moving on\, we ask that you register only for the part(s) of the day that you are committed to attend\, so that as many as possible can be accommodated. \nAs always\, there will be meditations focused on the idea of right action\, the difference between guilt and remorse\, the laws of karma\, forgiveness\, and lovingkindness. There will also be an opportunity for mindful discussion on the Buddhist perspective on atonement. This year\, especially\, in the context of moving out of isolation into an in person event\, we will be emphasizing the jewel of Sangha – community. \nAll are welcome to join us in this exploration. The day will end with a symbolic break-fast. \nThis daylong retreat is a dana (donation) based event\, with donations being divided between New York Insight and Buddhist Global Relief.

SUMMARY:Online: Mindfulness\, Neuroplasticity and Emotional Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Online: Mindfulness\, Neuroplasticity and Emotional Resilience\n \nwith Dr. Paul Epstein\, ND\n \nSaturday\, October 29th\, 2022 | 10:00am – 1:00pm ET\n \n\n \nTrain your mind and heart\, change your brain for health and healing. \nTraining in mindful awareness brings the choice of relating to our experience with wisdom and compassion  which changes the brain creating new neural pathways. Evidence shows that mindfulness increases emotional resilience which supports us to learn to “roll with the punches” and better cope with stress and adversity so we can more easily bounce back from difficulty without lasting negative impacts. Through mindfulness and compassion practice and teachings\, we will cultivate and enhance aspects of resilience. We will explore working with difficult emotions\, optimism\, accepting change and uncertainty\, and building a sense of humor.  Our mind can be a healer or a slayer by how we choose to relate to our life’s experiences. \nWe can move beyond surviving life’s challenges to actively participating in our own deep healing while building resilience for a brighter present and future. \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 window for an easier process.\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.
