SUMMARY:Online: Awakening Through the Senses
DESCRIPTION:Online: Awakening Through the Senses\n \nwith nico hase\n \nThursday\, May 11th\, 2023 | 7:00pm – 9:00pm ET\n \nIs genuine awakening possible? For you? For me? In these times? In this life? \nTwenty-six hundred years ago\, in a time just as challenging as the one we live in today\, the Buddha had a simple answer: yes\, if we apply ourselves. \nBut how do we apply ourselves\, and to what? \nIn one of his most beloved teachings\, the Buddha gave a simple and direct answer to this very question. He said\, \nIn the seen\, there is only the seen\,\nin the heard\, there is only the heard\,\nin the sensed\, there is only the sensed\,\nin the cognized\, there is only the cognized:\nThis is how you should train yourself. \nIn other words\, we can train ourselves to be fully present through our sense perceptions. \nWhen we see\, we just see – but we see truly\, wholeheartedly. When we hear a sound\, we hear that sound with the full presence of our attention. Same with inhabiting this body and knowing this heart and mind. \nJoin visiting teacher\, nico hase\, for an evening of learning to learn how to fully arrive in our senses and discover a simplicity and depth that is hidden in plain sight. Together we will explore what’s available for us\, right at the heart of experience\, and tap into the joy of being a whole\, fully-engaged human. \nThis event is open to all levels of meditation experience. \nRegistration:\nPlease register at the highest level that your generosity offers.\nExplanations of levels follow below.\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.\nPlease contact registration@nyimc.org if you need assistance. \n \nNYI’s Covid Protocol for In-Person Indoors Programs:\n•All participants must be fully vaccinated and have received a Booster shot – Proof of vaccination and booster is required.\n•Wearing a mask is optional and highly recommended at all times.\n•For the health and safety of our staff\, teachers\, and community\, please do not come onsite if you are feeling unwell.\nPlease let us know so those on the waiting list will be able to attend. \nDisclaimer:\n•Procedures adhere to current CDC\, NY State\, NYC\, and Still Mind Zendo guidelines.\n•Changes may be applied at any time\, based on CDC guidelines.\n•All in-person programs may become online programs if circumstances dictate. \nRegistration Fees include Teacher Support\nNew York Insight Meditation Center has streamlined the registration fee levels.

SUMMARY:Postponed: Doing and Not-Doing in Meditation and Daily Life Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Postponed: Doing and Not-Doing in Meditation and Daily Life Retreat\n \nwith Donald Rothberg \nDue to unforeseen circumstances\, the weekend retreat is postponed.\n \n\n \nIn meditation as well as in daily life\, “doing” and skillful effort are vital\, and it’s important to learn better how to be more skillful in one’s efforts to be aware\, wise\, and compassionate in both meditation and daily life. On the other hand\, it’s also central to learn better how simply to “be\,” in meditation and daily life\, to be able to let go of doing at times and become more receptive to life and the moment. Our doing\, in other words\, can sometimes be “overdone” and it can be helpful to inquire into any habitual sense that we have of being a “doer.” \nIn this retreat\, we will explore these themes as well as examining what is taught in many spiritual traditions\, including the Buddhist tradition\, that a central deeper expression both of meditation and daily life can be understood as a kind of profound “non-doing” that paradoxically can also be a basis for action and doing\, a “doing coming out of a deep not-doing”! The weekend will involve periods of silent practice\, daily life practice\, short talks\, and discussion. \nRegistration is closed – the weekend retreat is postponed\nIf you have already registered\, we will contact you soon.\n \nIf you have any questions\, please contact registration@nyimc.org. \n

SUMMARY:Online: Down and Out - Working with Grief and Grace
DESCRIPTION:Online: Down and Out – Working with Grief and Grace\n \nwith sadada jackson\n \nThursday\, May 18th\, 2023 | 7:00pm – 9:00pm ET\n \n\n \n“You have to call from the inside what we want to liberate” -sadada jackson \nWe are in the midst of what can be a deeply liberating time- if we choose to go deep into what is ours to liberate. Grief is one way for us to grow down into the soil of our hearts\, our own hearts\, the hearts of others\, and the collective heart so that love can liberate us. When love liberates\, grace is abundantly present. We can use our practices and the cycles in nature to support us through the depths of what is dark within and around us.  \nIn our time together\, we will consider the role of grief in our life\, how grief and grace are related\, and use practices and cycles to support us in our grieving and liberation practice. During our time together\, we will engage in gentle somatic practices\, pranayama practice\, and journaling.  \nNo previous movement or meditation experience is required. All levels of practitioners are welcome. \nRegistration:\nPlease register at the highest level that your generosity offers.\nExplanations of levels follow below.\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.\nPlease contact registration@nyimc.org if you need assistance. \n \nRegistration Fees include Teacher Support\nNew York Insight Meditation Center has streamlined the registration fee levels.
