SUMMARY:When Awareness Becomes Natural: An IMS Urban Retreat
DESCRIPTION:When Awareness Becomes Natural: An IMS Urban Retreat \nwith Alexis Santos and Susa Talan \nSaturday\, October 12th\, 2019 | 9:00am – 6:00pm\nSunday\, October 13th\, 2019 | 9:00am – 4:00pm \n“When awareness becomes natural\,” as renowned Theravadan Buddhist monk Sayadaw U Tejaniya explains\, our practice becomes part of our life\, rather than a separate activity or pastime. \nInsight Meditation Society (IMS) is pleased to present this weekend urban retreat at New York Insight (NYI). Wisdom and compassion are natural to the mind and they develop when we learn to attend skillfully to our experience with awareness. They arise when the mind is not obscured by confusion and distractedness\, anxiety and fear\, and the relentlessness of desires and wants. And yet these afflictive habits of mind are natural as well – meaning they are not a self. They also arise due to causes and conditions that can be understood. \nThrough relaxing the body and mind\, we can come to understand the effortless nature of being mindful. This natural awareness leads to the blossoming of wisdom and compassion. \nIMS Urban Retreats at New York Insight: These non-residential retreats are a great opportunity to deepen and integrate our mindfulness meditation practice into our daily lives within the urban environment and within the container of noble silence. While this weekend retreat is suitable for beginners through experienced meditators\, some meditation exposure is helpful. \nLearn more about IMS Urban Retreats here. \nAlexis Santos is giving a separate dharma talk on “Cultivating Awareness + Wisdom” on Friday\, October 11th from 7pm-9pm. Click here for more info and registration for Friday evening. \nRegistration:\nPlease note that consistent with IMS practice\, teachers for IMS Urban Retreats offer their talents and services to our community through the practice of dana\, the generosity of donations from participants which are collected at the end of the Retreat.
