SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: Meeting the Parts That Disturb Our Peace - A Mindfulness-Based IFS Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: Meeting the Parts That Disturb Our Peace – A Mindfulness-Based IFS Writing Workshop \nwith Tracy Cochran and Beej Christie Karpen \nSaturday\, May 2nd\, 2026 | 10:00am – 1:00pm ET \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor \n \nDid you ever wonder why meditative states don’t last? How moments of spacious awareness can so quickly give way to painful\, constricted states? \nThese states are often driven by our inner children—the hurt\, wounded ones and the slightly older ones trying their best to defend them.   \nThis unique half-day workshop weaves together guided mindfulness meditation\, reflective writing\, and gentle inquiry. Through the transformative framework of IFS (Internal Family Systems)\, participants are invited to cultivate a compassionate relationship with their inner world. \nOur inner parts will be welcomed and gently investigated—allowing a deeper wisdom and awareness to emerge. In IFS this wise\, embodied Presence is called Self. In Buddhism this same spacious state is called No Self—in both it is an attention that heals us into wholeness. \nThis workshop is suitable for both experienced meditators and newcomers\, offering practical tools for daily life\, creative expression\, and compassionate self-understanding.  \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: Coming Home to the Body - A Daylong Meditation Retreat
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: Coming Home to the Body – A Daylong Meditation Retreat \nwith Chas DiCapua \nSaturday\, May 9th\, 2026 | 10:00am – 5:00pm ET \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor \n \nWe spend much of our lives with attention directed outward\, seeking fulfillment through distraction\, consumption\, and busyness. The Buddha described the gap between what we are experiencing and where our attention is as stress. \nThis daylong retreat offers an alternative. Through sitting and walking meditation\, the Resident Teacher at the Insight Meditation Society\, Chas DiCapua will guide participants in body-based awareness practices\, including awareness of the breath\, that bring attention back to the present moment. When the mind settles into the body rather than chasing after the next thing\, we can begin to access qualities already present in us: sympathetic presence\, expansiveness\, and ease. \nThis retreat is suitable for practitioners at all levels who want to deepen their relationship to the body as a foundation for meditation practice and daily life. \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!
