SUMMARY:Online: New Year's Retreat - Liberating the Heart through the Practice of Generosity
DESCRIPTION:Online: New Year’s Retreat – Liberating the Heart through the Practice of Generosity\n \nwith Mona Chopra\n \nSaturday\, January 6th\, 2024 | 10:00am – 1:00pm ET\n  \nAs we usher in a new year\, we are given an opportunity to slow down\, reflect\, and ask ourselves anew: How do I want to be in the world? \nIn the Buddhist tradition\, one of the pāramitās (perfections\, virtues) is generosity. Generosity (dāna) is much more than donating money or giving someone a thing of value. It is a way to cultivate seeds of compassion and wisdom\, and one of the fruits of spiritual practice. It is thus both the path and the fruition\, and it can bring about great joy. \nIn this half-day retreat\, we’ll explore the Buddhist teachings on generosity\, and consider for ourselves\, creatively\, imaginatively\, how we might expand and deepen our understanding of it. We will practice sitting meditation\, gentle movement\, and contemplative journaling.  We will use this time to enter the year feeling rested\, clear\, inspired and enlivened. \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: Audacity - Your Gateway to Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Online: Audacity – Your Gateway to Freedom\n \nwith nico hase\n \nSaturday\, January 20th\, 2024 | 10:00am – 4:00pm ET\n \n\n \nIs genuine awakening possible? For you? For me? In these times? In this life? \nTwenty-six hundred years ago\, in a time just as challenging as the one we live in today\, the Buddha had a simple answer: yes\, if we apply ourselves. \nBut that takes chutzpah\, otherwise known as adhiṭṭhāna parami (“determination” or “audacity”)\, and there are ten thousand cultural forces hellbent on weakening our resolve\, dispersing our attention\, and convincing us that enlightenment isn’t even a thing. \nWe have to push back. Like the Buddha did all those years ago\, when he had the audacity to take this path all the way to completion\, to the very end of mental and emotional suffering.  \nIn this one-day online retreat\, nico will delve into adhitthana parami\, that quality of the heart that simply doesn’t give up\, that keeps you coming back to the path again and again. Which\, with consistent practice\, leads to the cultivation of peace\, joy\, and lasting happiness. \nThe day will begin with an hour of conversation and an opening talk around the theme. We’ll then sit and walk for four hours in lightly guided practice\, before reconvening for a closing talk and further 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.
