SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: Work Sex Money Dharma - Full Weekend Retreat + Online Series
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: Work Sex Money Dharma – Full Weekend Retreat + Online Series  \nwith Martin Aylward \nHybrid Weekend Retreat: Saturday and Sunday\, March 14-15\, 2026 | 10:00am – 5:00pm ET\nOptional Online Follow-Up Sessions: Tuesday – Thursday\, March 17-19\, 2026 | 12:00pm – 1:30pm ET \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor \n \nAcross many wisdom traditions\, spiritual practice has often followed two broad paths. One emphasizes stepping away from the entanglements of ordinary life in pursuit of clarity and awakening. Another invites us to engage life fully and use its challenges\, desires\, and responsibilities as the ground of practice. \nWork\, sex\, and money sit at the center of that tension. These domains shape how we relate to others\, how we organize our time and energy\, and how we understand intimacy\, ambition\, and security. They are also powerful places where our habits of mind\, fears\, and desires become visible. \nIn this immersive weekend retreat\, meditation teacher Martin Aylward invites participants to bring mindful attention to these deeply human themes. Through meditation\, reflection\, and relational dialogue exercises sometimes described as “meditation out loud\,” we will explore how our conditioning around work\, intimacy\, and material security shapes the way we live and relate to others. \nOver the course of the retreat\, each theme will be explored in depth. Participants will examine their relationship to work and livelihood\, intimacy and sexuality\, wealth and security\, and how these areas intersect with their values and spiritual path. \nOptional online follow-up sessions during the week offer an opportunity to reconnect\, share reflections\, and continue integrating insights into everyday roles and relationships. \nAll sessions will be recorded and available for rewatching or future reference. \nIn-Person Registration:\nNote: The Tuesday-Thursday follow-up sessions are online-only\, even if you attend the weekend retreat in person. \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: Embodied Awareness - Finding Inner Safety through Somatic Meditation
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: Embodied Awareness – Finding Inner Safety through Somatic Meditation \nwith Kathy Cherry \nSunday\, March 22nd\, 2026 | 10:00am – 5:00pm ET \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor \n \nIn Buddhist teachings\, the image of someone swept down a fast-moving river—grasping at reeds and branches that cannot hold—mirrors how we cling to familiar thoughts\, emotions\, and identities when safety feels uncertain. In this daylong retreat\, we will explore this metaphor as a doorway into understanding our own nervous system. We’ll use the spirit of these teachings to illuminate how our survival responses express an intelligent body seeking stability. \nThroughout the day\, you’ll have repeated opportunities to slow down\, practice\, and directly experience how safety becomes more available through embodied awareness. Through somatic meditation\, mindfulness\, Somatic Experiencing® techniques\, gentle movement\, guided inquiry\, and shared reflection\, you’ll learn to listen to sensation\, pace your experience\, and allow your system to settle. \nAs groundedness grows\, clarity and choice naturally emerge. This retreat is open to all; practices are gentle\, invitational\, and adaptable to your needs. \nNote: This program will be recorded. The recording will be sent to all registrants after the program\, so please feel free to sign up even if you cannot join in real time. \nIn-Person Registration:\nPlease register below for in-person participation. 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: Am I Supposed To Be OK With This? Practice at the Cutting Edge
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: Am I Supposed To Be OK With This? Practice at the Cutting Edge \nwith Paul Fulton \nSunday\, March 29th\, 2026 | 10:00am – 1:00pm ET \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor \n \nWhen we give ourselves wholly to practice\, we find we are standing at the edge; the edge between what we can accept and what we cannot; the edge between what we understand and what we do not; the edge of clinging and letting go. Even as our practice matures and those edges move to embrace more\, a vital meditation practice always locates us at these cutting edges. \nOver the course of this interactive half-day retreat\, together we’ll inquire about these (and other) edges with reference to your own active\, living challenges.  \nWe will explore the balance between leaning into difficulty vs. seeking safety; restraint from ingesting a world of toxic news vs. opening up and bearing witness; practicing in a manner that supports openheartedness without losing our shit; equanimity and acceptance vs. indifference and numbing; and\, your own cutting edge. \nIn-Person Registration:\nPlease register below for in-person participation. If you are able\, registering at the “Supporter” level enables others to attend at the “Subsidized” level. Thank you for your generosity!
