SUMMARY:Online: Building a Relevant and Transformative Meditation Practice
DESCRIPTION:Online: Building a Relevant and Transformative Meditation Practice \nwith Dave Smith \nSunday\, April 6th\, 2025 | 10:00am – 1:00 pm ET \n \nMany of us turn to mindfulness looking for more clarity\, ease\, or steadiness in our daily lives—but it’s not always obvious how to get there.  \nThe Buddhist path offers practical\, time-tested guidance: cultivate what’s helpful and let go of what isn’t. This simple but powerful principle can bring a sense of direction to our practice and help us make real progress\, both on and off the cushion. \nThis core idea is at the heart of the teachings on Right Effort\, and is further clarified in the Fourth Foundation of Mindfulness\, where the practice becomes about observing and transforming the state of the mind itself. \nIn this half-day workshop\, meditation teacher Dave Smith will guide us through these essential teachings\, offering practical tools and frameworks for how to work skillfully with our own minds.  \nThrough guided meditation\, discussion\, and Q&A\, we’ll explore how to move past confusion or stagnation and develop a practice that’s genuinely transformative—something that helps us meet our everyday lives with more confidence\, steadiness\, and insight. \nThis event is open to all. No prior experience is needed. \nYou may also be interested in Dave Smith’s upcoming online course at NYInsight\, Mindfulness and the Middle Way – Cultivating an Authentic Dharma\, starting May 20. \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!
