SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: Attuning the Body & Mind Through Meditation
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: Attuning the Body & Mind Through Meditation \nwith Peter Doobinin \nSaturday\, March 1st\, 2025 | 10:00am – 4:00pm ET \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor\n \n\nThe Buddha taught his students to be “in tune with the dharma.” In fact\, we might think of dharma practice as a process in which we learn to come into rhythm with ourselves and others.  \nBut\, more often than not\, we’re out of tune. We live in a state of tightness\, stress\, and dis-ease. This quality of dissonance is indicative of the degree to which we’re cut off from the heart\, from our goodness\, from wisdom\, compassion\, love\, joy\, and peace. It’s a state in which we’re not able to function fully and effectively in our lives. \nIn following the Buddha’s path\, we learn to connect to the rhythm of life. In practicing breath meditation\, we learn to connect to and come into rhythm. In walking meditation\, we learn to maintain this elemental rhythm. Eventually\, we learn to extend this quality of being in tune to all our postures\, and in all our activities. More and more\, we are able to “tune in” to the happiness of the heart. \nThe day will include periods of sitting & walking meditation\, teaching\, and discussion. Some meditation experience is recommended\, but not required.  \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: Mindful Tech - Building a Healthy Relationship with Our Devices
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: Mindful Tech – Building a Healthy Relationship with Our Devices \nwith Lin Wang Gordon \nSaturday\, March 22nd\, 2025 | 10:00am – 4:00pm ET \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor \nHumans have always used technology to improve our lives—from the discovery of fire to the Industrial Revolution —but the pace of technological innovation is increasing at a faster rate than ever before. In the last 25 years\, the internet\, smartphones\, and social media have reshaped how we live\, work\, think\, and connect. As these tools evolve\, we’re struggling to keep up\, losing some of our agency in the process. With AI on the horizon\, this challenge will only grow. \nIn this context\, a mindfulness practice has become more important than ever. By cultivating awareness of our thoughts\, emotions\, and physical sensations\, we can learn to regain control over our interactions with technology\, allowing us to maintain our agency in an increasingly digital world. We can learn how to ensure that technology serves us\, not the other way around. Together we’ll explore how to apply Buddhist philosophy to our relationship with desire\, aversion\, and attachments when we engage with tech. \nIn this daylong workshop\, we will examine our relationship with smartphones\, digital habits\, and the apps we use. We’ll explore questions like: What is our awareness of our digital habits? How do our mind and body feel when we engage with social media or news? How do we use tech to help us focus rather than to distract? What might a “tech detox” look like? What rituals can we develop to create a healthier relationship with tech? Our goal is not to reject technology—it’s here to stay—but to imagine how to build a healthy relationship when we engage with it. We’ll discuss practical ways to integrate technology into our lives in a way that supports our well-being\, rather than detracts from it. \nParticipants are encouraged to bring their lunch in order to maintain the meditative atmosphere and concentration. \nIn-Person Registration:\nPlease register below.

SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: Silencing Your Inner Critic - A Guide to Self-Compassion in Tough Times
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: Silencing Your Inner Critic – A Guide to Self-Compassion in Tough Times \nwith Gary Singer\n \nSaturday\, March 29th\, 2025 | 10:00am – 4:00pm ET \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor \n \nEven\, and perhaps especially\, when the world seems out of control\, the practice of self-love is an essential tool to make sure we remain connected to our values and sense of right and wrong. \nIndeed\, compassion is foundational to the Buddha’s teachings. That means compassion for all beings\, even ourselves. Nevertheless\, most of us have an easier time extending compassion to others than to ourselves.  \nOver the course of this daylong retreat\, we’ll use mindfulness to investigate how we treat ourselves in the privacy of our own minds. Why does our Inner Critic tend to treat ourselves worse than we would anyone else? What stories might we be telling about ourselves and others that might simply be untrue? Can we stop the incessant comparison to others? Can we finally befriend ourselves? \nTogether\, we’ll touch upon how we might become aware of difficult emotions\, recognize the common humanity in our struggles\, and accept ourselves with greater kindness and compassion. The more we’re at peace with ourselves\, the more peaceful we are with others and the world. \nExperienced meditators and those brand new to meditation are welcome. \nBring your curiosity! \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!
