SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: Buddhist Meditation and Internal Family Systems – A Daylong Retreat
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: Buddhist Meditation and Internal Family Systems – A Daylong Retreat\n \nwith Ralph de la Rosa\n \nSaturday\, January 18th\, 2025 | 10:00am – 4:00pm ET\n \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor\n \n\nThe Buddha taught that radical compassion is synonymous with full awakening\, and that one must begin with compassion for oneself. Compassion is a healer\, an alchemical force\, a grossly underestimated state of heart and mind. Self-compassion could heal every part of you\, if you stayed with it long enough. Self-compassion opens the door to the deepest of insights. \nThis daylong retreat is a primer in how to open to this presence in meditation and extend it towards parts of the psyche stuck on the treadmill of affliction. Utilizing the integration of Buddhism and the Internal Family Systems model presented in Ralph De La Rosa’s new book Outshining Trauma\, this daylong retreat will offer you: \n•Teachings from the Buddhist Lojong\n•A crash course in IFS and why it complements the Dharma so well\n•Breath techniques for opening space in the heart-mind\n•Meditations for directly experiencing of buddha nature\n•Meditations for extending self-compassion to parts of the psyche caught in affliction \nThis retreat is open to all levels and experience of practice. Please bring pen and paper. \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: Day of Refuge — Navigating Tumultuous Times with Clarity\, Humor\, and Strength
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: Day of Refuge — Navigating Tumultuous Times with Clarity\, Humor\, and Strength \nwith Leslie Booker \nSunday\, January 19th\, 2025 | 10:00am – 4:00pm ET \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor\n \n\nWe are in the midst of a great sea change\, both politically and socially. We are being asked to divest—in companies\, political institutions\, or organizations that have disappointed us. Although there is something incredibly powerful in divesting\, it’s important to decide what we are choosing to invest in. What clouds the heart and mind so often is centering what we’re fighting against instead of what we’re fighting for. \nOver the course of this day of practice\, we’ll learn how to invest in ourselves. The poet Audre Lorde wrote\, “Caring for myself is not self-indulgent\, it is self-preservation and that is an act of political warfare.” \nTogether\, we’ll discover how staying present with the breath and in our bodies is actually an act of self-preservation and a tool to build emotional resilience. \nOn the eve of the inauguration and Martin Luther King\, Jr. Day\, join New York Insight’s Guiding Teacher Leslie Booker for a day of refuge and care. This retreat will be held in Noble Silence. \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! (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.\n \nOnline Registration:\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. \n \nVolunteering \nAll of our programs rely on volunteers to support our teachers and staff with various tasks and responsibilities.

SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: Coming Home to Kind Awareness – A Daylong Retreat
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: Coming Home to Kind Awareness – A Daylong Retreat \nwith Bart van Melik and Leslie Booker \nSaturday\, January 25th\, 2025 | 10:00am – 4:00pm ET \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor\n \n\nAs our climate\, society\, and collective values change and shift\, it can be hard to know how to sit with it all. What do you do when it feels like your practice no longer “works”?  \nJoin teachers Bart van Melik\, Guiding Teacher of Community Meditation Center\, and Leslie Booker\, Guiding Teacher of NYIMC\, for a day of practice and communal reflection. Participants are encouraged to slow down\, drop into their experience\, and find support in both stillness and shared connection.  \nDrawing from personal experiences and insights\, Bart and Booker will share wisdom on navigating critical or anxious inner dialogue\, finding peace amidst life’s challenges\, and uncovering the innate qualities of the heart. By taking refuge in the heart of kind awareness\, we can listen to the truths of the present moment\, bear witness to our personal and social pains\, and find peace in our own awakened hearts. \nTogether\, we will immerse ourselves in timeless teachings to incline our heart-minds towards appreciating the joys of living; refresh our capacities to bring awareness to the present moment; and to cultivate kindness towards ourselves and others.  \nThis event is co-hosted by New York Insight Meditation Center and the Community Meditation Center.  \nIn-Person Registration:\nPlease register below.
