SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: From the Cushion to the Streets - A Daylong Retreat Workshop on Engaging with the World
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: From the Cushion to the Streets – A Daylong Retreat Workshop on Engaging with the World\n \nwith Leslie Booker and Elaine Retholtz\n \nSaturday\, June 21st\, 2025 | 10:00am – 4:00pm ET\n \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor\n \n \nWe find ourselves in a moment in time that is calling many of us to respond. But how to do this with care\, dignity and without adding to divisiveness? There is a long history of folks using their spiritual practice as a foundation and catalyst for activism\, and an equally long history of folks who realize that they need a spiritual practice to sustain their engagement. Marrying these two together is an art and practice that is both skillful and necessary.  \nDuring this daylong there will be time to practice together\, time to connect with others\, and time to engage in reflective processes to help us understand how we can best show up at this moment in time. \nThrough group connection\, individual reflection\, and dharma talks\, we’ll explore the following questions:  \n\nWhat is our role in this time in history?\nHow can we understand our personal “origin story”? What wakes us up—what’s important to us?\nHow can we connect with others? \nWhose shoulders are we standing on? How can looking to the past help us ground in the present? \nHow can our meditation practice support our active engagement with the world? \n\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: Awakening the Body - A Daylong Retreat Integrating Somatic Meditation\, Buddhist Mindfulness\, and Somatic Experiencing®
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: Awakening the Body – A Daylong Retreat Integrating Somatic Meditation\, Buddhist Mindfulness\, and Somatic Experiencing® \nwith Kathy Cherry \nSunday\, June 22nd\, 2025 | 10:00am – 5:00pm ET \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor\n \n\n \nIn our hectic world\, it’s easy to feel disconnected from our bodies and the present moment\, leaving us overwhelmed by stress and uncertainty. Join us for a transformative\, daylong retreat designed to reconnect you with your inner self through immersive meditative\, relational\, and somatic practices. \nThroughout the day\, you’ll explore techniques that blend Buddhist mindfulness\, somatic meditation\, and Somatic Experiencing® (SE) to regulate your nervous system while learning to shift out of the freeze response. You’ll also discover how to harness the energy of the fight response and healthy aggression to set clear boundaries\, transition from rumination into decisive action\, and remain grounded even in the midst of conflict. \nGuided by mindful awareness and SE’s focus on nervous system resilience\, you’ll cultivate your “felt sense”—an intuitive way to tune into your body’s sensations and emotions as reliable guides. \nThis retreat welcomes everyone\, regardless of experience with meditation or body-based practices. Please bring a journal to capture your reflections and insights. \nIn-Person Registration:\nPlease register below.

SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: Turning Back to Ourselves - A Retreat for Women
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: Turning Back to Ourselves – A Retreat for Women \nwith Dalya Tamir \nSaturday\, June 28th\, 2025 | 10:00am – 5:00pm ET \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor \n \nWe often forget that we are worthy of love. We fall into patterns of judging and doubting ourselves\, forgetting our innate goodness and our sense of belonging. None of us want to abandon ourselves in these ways\, but as a result of messages we received throughout our lives\, and due to the structures of the society we live in\, we may find ourselves lost and far away from a deep and true way we once knew. Some of us may never have known that authentic self. \nAdditionally\, many women describe feeling over-extended\, chronically depressed\, or highly anxious. Others feel angry\, agitated\, or restless and cannot find a peaceful place within themselves. Some feel trapped\, believing that the unfulfilling life they are living is the only life they could ever live. \nThe path of Turning Back to Ourselves offers a way to heal the pain of self-abandonment and guides us back to reclaiming our aliveness\, joy\, and ease with ourselves. \nOver the course of this daylong retreat\, we’ll touch upon these themes and explore the ways Buddhist teachings can support us in returning to our wise and compassionate self. With guidance from teacher Dalya Tamir\, we’ll set an intention to no longer abandon ourselves and will apply mindfulness\, self-compassion\, and loving-kindness to move toward a wholesome relationship with ourselves. Our time together will include periods of silent meditation\, as well as time for reflection and sharing. \nThis retreat offers teachings that lift up women’s journeys of awakening. We welcome all who identify as women\, as well as non-binary folks who feel nourished in spaces centering women.  \nWe also invite you to learn more about Dalya’s course starting on July 10: Coming Home to Ourselves – A Four-Week Course for Women. \nIn-Person Registration:\nPlease register below.
