SUMMARY:Online: Free Seven Day Urban Meditation Retreat Info Session and Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Online: Free Seven Day Urban Meditation Retreat Info Session and Q&A \nwith Leslie Booker and Dalila Bothwell \nThursday\, May 14th\, 2026 | 6:30pm – 7:30pm ET \n \nIn June\, New York Insight is holding its second-ever non-residential retreat\, designed to help integrate practice into your daily life and life into your practice. \nWe often think of retreat as a chance to get away—traveling to a quiet meditation center in a serene natural setting. But for those of us who live in cities\, this can create a split: retreat happens there\, life happens here. Practicing together in the same city where we live\, work\, and navigate daily challenges creates a powerful opportunity: we can begin to carry the clarity and presence of retreat into the rhythms of ordinary life. \nDuring this live Q&A session\, teachers Leslie Booker and Dalila Bothwell will explain the format of this summer’s retreat and answer any questions you may have about embarking on a weeklong commitment to meditation practice. \nReserve your spot now for a special sneak peek into this weeklong retreat! \nAttendance at this event is encouraged but not required to register for June’s retreat. \nSave the date! The retreat itself will be held June 13-19\, 2026.  \nOnline (Zoom) Registration:\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: This Messy\, Gorgeous Love - A Weekend Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: This Messy\, Gorgeous Love – A Weekend Workshop \nwith devon and nico hase \nFriday\, May 15th\, 2026 | 7:00pm – 8:30pm ET\nSaturday\, May 16th\, 2026 | 10:00am – 4:00pm ET\nSunday\, May 17th\, 2026 | 10:00am – 4:00pm ET \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor \n \nPartnership might be one of the most challenging spiritual practices there is. We swing between losing ourselves to keep the peace and fighting to be right at any cost. \nThere’s a middle way. \nJoin married Buddhist teachers devon + nico hase for an intimate weekend exploring how to bring presence—instead of reactivity—to the beautiful\, messy work of conscious partnership. Drawing from their book This Messy\, Gorgeous Love and nearly twenty years together (including a three-year meditation retreat)\, they’ll guide you through the essential skills that transform relationships from battlegrounds into opportunities for awakening. \nWhat We’ll Explore \nDeep Listening: Moving beyond trying to fix or change your partner to truly hearing—and being heard. Learn to listen to yourself\, your partner\, and the wisdom that emerges between you. \nFinding Balance: Discovering your personal middle way between self-denial (losing yourself to please others) and self-indulgence (always needing to be right). Different people need different balances—and that’s profound\, not problematic. \nSkillful Conflict: Why “We shouldn’t be fighting” is a myth that causes more harm than good. Learn to work with your natural conflict style—whether you’re a Volcano\, Dodger\, or Diplomat—and discover that sometimes real patience means expressing anger. \nCultivating Joy: How awareness of impermanence transforms daily irritations into opportunities for appreciation. Practice mudita (sympathetic joy) and create rituals that nourish connection even during difficult times. \nFormat: This retreat combines dharma talks\, guided meditations\, journaling practices\, and partner exercises (adaptable for those attending solo). Expect a balance of individual reflection and shared exploration in a supportive community setting. \nPerfect for: Couples seeking to deepen their practice together\, individuals wanting to bring more consciousness to relationships\, and anyone curious about partnership as a path of awakening. No meditation experience required—just willingness to explore with honesty and kindness. \nAbout devon + nico \ndevon + nico hase are married Buddhist teachers helping couples face—and blossom in—the truth about long-term romance. nico lived in a monastery for six years before earning a PhD in counseling psychology and becoming an Insight Meditation teacher full time. devon has practiced intensively in the Insight and Vajrayana traditions of meditation and teaches at Insight Meditation Society\, Spirit Rock\, and more. They are co-authors of How Not to Be a Hot Mess and This Messy\, Gorgeous Love: A Buddhist Guide to Navigating Passion\, Purpose\, and Everyday Chaos. They live in Madison\, Wisconsin. \nWhat People Are Saying \n“devon and nico are deeply experienced practitioners\, with a strong dedication to their own meditation journey. They have immersed themselves for many years in long intensive practice\, and I highly recommend their teaching.” —Joseph Goldstein \n“Devon and nico teach with lightness\, humility\, and vulnerability. They’re down-to-earth and easy to relate to—yet full of wisdom.” —Sarah F.\, Student \nIn-Person Registration:\nPlease register below for in-person participation.
