SUMMARY:Online: Home Body – Being with What Is
DESCRIPTION:Online: Home Body – Being with What Is\n \nwith Jill Satterfield\n \nTuesdays\, February 4th – 25th\, 2025 | 7:00pm-9:00pm ET\n \n\n \nJust like everything in our minds\, the body—the material form of consciousness—is impermanent and of the nature to arise\, cease\, shift and change and always re-arrange. \nGenerally\, we’re familiar with the “gross” form of the body—our skin\, bones\, and tissues. But we may be less familiar with the “subtle body\,” which is unseen\, but felt\, and influences our mind states.   \nIn this four-week course with Buddhist teacher Jill Satterfield\, we’ll learn about how the subtle body is actively communicating with (and altered by) the breath. We’ll also explore how the subtle body affects our thoughts and feelings\, imagination\, and conditioned beliefs. \nWe’ll begin each session by noticing our internal landscape: sensations\, breath\, thoughts and emotions. Following that\, we’ll practice ways to balance the central nervous system. Every session there will be a breath practice from the Buddhist yogic traditions with the intention to create more spacious\, open awareness. \nTogether we’ll develop a greater awareness of how breathing into an area of body affects the\ninner and outer landscape of the body.  \nFinally\, we’ll work on making the subtle our home and a place of refuge. By attending to the breath with kind awareness\, we can create the space inside to be with what is. \nRegistration:\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 \nVolunteering \nAll of our programs rely on volunteers to support our teachers and staff with various tasks and responsibilities. Volunteering allows you to participate in our programs at no cost. To inquire about volunteering opportunities\, please fill out our inquiry form\, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: True Love – Cultivating Compassion on Valentine’s Day
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: True Love – Cultivating Compassion on Valentine’s Day\n \nwith Lavina Shamdasani\n \nFriday\, February 14th\, 2025 | 6:30pm – 8:30pm ET \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor\n \n\nThe typical image of a “Buddhist” or a “meditator” is of someone who’s able to be perpetually kind and gentle toward their friends\, family\, romantic partners\, and the world. The reality is that many of us who practice meditation really struggle to offer everyone the same exact flavor of kindness. Plus\, we may find it especially difficult to extend compassion to ourselves. \nThis Valentine’s Day\, join meditation teacher Lavina Shamdasani for an evening of deepening compassion. Special attention will be given to working with self-forgiveness\, easing self-criticism\, and nurturing an accepting attitude toward difficult thoughts and emotions. Additionally\, Lavina will teach on how to remain open-hearted when we’re hurt by others. \nTogether\, we’ll practice metta (loving-kindness) and mindfulness meditation to help ease self-hate\, and learn how to live a life of balanced compassion. \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:Online: A Buddhist Guide to Living with Chronic Pain and Illness
DESCRIPTION:Online: A Buddhist Guide to Living with Chronic Pain and Illness\n \nwith Toni Bernhard\n\n \nSunday\, February 16th\, 2025 | 5:30pm – 7:30pm ET\n  \n\nIt’s no fun to get sick\, have little stamina\, or experience chronic physical pain. Aside from reminding us that life is uncertain\, unpredictable\, and often does not conform to our wishes\, these challenges can provide a measure of peace if we know how to respond skillfully. \nJoin Toni Bernhard\, acclaimed author of How to Be Sick\, for a two-hour evening program about living with\, and getting curious about\, chronic pain and illness. She’ll use the Buddha’s teachings to learn about some inevitable life experiences: aging\, illness\, pain\, sorrow\, loss\, and unmet desires\, and discover some profound insights and practices to help us respond to health challenges with grace. \nIn addition\, she will talk about mindfulness—how\, when we live in the present moment\, we are freed from stressful narratives\, usually about the future. Finally\, Toni will introduce two Brahma Viharas: self-compassion and equanimity. \nEveryone is welcome to participate\, regardless of experience with meditation or Buddhism. \nOnline 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!
