SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: The Universe in a Hand – Encountering Our True Nature through the Four Immeasurable Minds of Love
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: The Universe in a Hand – Encountering Our True Nature through the Four Immeasurable Minds of Love \nPart of The Body Remembers Freedom Series\n \nwith Kaira Jewel Lingo and Linds Roberts\n \nThursday\, May\, 7th\, 2026 | 6:30pm – 8:30pm ET (optionally\, bring your dinner at 5:30pm to enjoy in community) \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor\n \nThe teaching of Indra’s Net reveals a universe of radiant interconnection\, where each of us is a unique jewel\, reflecting and being reflected by the whole vast net of existence. This session invites us to feel this truth in our bodies and hearts through play and presence. \nWe’ll engage in a practice of meeting others eye-to-eye in brief\, heart-opening encounters that invite us to see ourselves and each other as expressions of boundless love—cultivating kindness\, compassion\, joy\, and equanimity. Then\, through a simple drawing exercise\, we’ll map the visible and invisible elements—the people\, places\, and beings—that weave together to create the miracle of who we are. Together\, we remember that we are not separate individuals\, but a community of beings in communion. \nIf you are joining in person at NY Insight\, you are optionally invited to arrive at 5:30pm and bring your dinner. We will eat together for a few minutes in mindfulness and then have time to share and connect before the class begins at 6:30pm. \nThis session will include a simple drawing exercise. If you are joining via Zoom\, please have some paper and a pencil/pen/crayons/markers (whatever you prefer to use) on hand. \nThis workshop is part of The Body Remembers Freedom\, a monthly series that brings together meditation\, dharma\, and embodied practice in a way that is relational\, grounded\, and alive. Each session includes time for meditation and contemplation\, a dharma talk or shared inquiry\, and InterPlay\, a playful and powerful practice using movement\, voice\, storytelling\, and deep listening to access the wisdom of the body. \nParticipants are supported to be: \n\nMore grounded and connected to their bodies and to one another\nMore accountable to themselves and to community\nReconnected to joy\, creativity\, and inner resource\nBetter able to meet life\, and themselves\, with compassion and presence\n\nIn times that can feel scary\, overwhelming\, or isolating\, these gatherings offer a place to put the phone down\, release accumulated stress\, and reconnect with what feels trustworthy and alive. We gather to remember the sacred in ordinary experience and to be held in the support of community. \nNo experience with meditation or movement is required. You are welcome exactly as you are\, with curiosity and a willingness to be present. \nThe Body Remembers Freedom is offered monthly on the first or second Thursday from 6:30 to 8:30 pm ET and is offered in a hybrid format. During the InterPlay portion of the evening\, Linds Roberts guides participants joining on Zoom\, while Kaira Jewel guides those attending in person. The full group then comes back together for the closing practice. You are welcome to register for a single session\, select multiple dates\, or join the full series at a discounted rate. \nSessions are recorded and shared with all registrants after the program\, so you are welcome to sign up even if you cannot attend live. \nRegister for one session or the full series (at a discount!) below.\n2026: | May 7 | June 18 | July 9 | August 6 \nIn-Person Registration:\nIn-Person Single Session\nIn-Person Full Series\n  \nOnline (Zoom) Registration:\nOnline Single Session\nOnline Full Series\n  \nVolunteering \nAll of our programs rely on volunteers to support our teachers and staff with various tasks and responsibilities.
