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.

SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: What Is Freedom? Rest\, Wise Effort\, and Nourishing What We Want to Grow
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: What Is Freedom? Rest\, Wise Effort\, and Nourishing What We Want to Grow \nPart of The Body Remembers Freedom Series\n \nwith Kaira Jewel Lingo and Linds Roberts\n \nThursday\, January 15th\, 2026 | 6:30pm – 8:30pm ET \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor \n \nAt the start of a new year\, many of us feel compelled toward striving and self-improvement. That same pressure often follows us into our spiritual practice\, layered on top of long-standing habits of pushing ourselves and harsh self-judgment. \nThis evening workshop with teachers Kaira Jewel Lingo and Linds Roberts draws on the Buddha’s teachings on the Four Right Efforts\, exploring how freedom develops through learning when to apply effort\, when to rest\, and how to listen to the body’s intelligence. Rather than tightening the strings of the lute or letting them go slack\, we practice tuning them so clarity and ease can emerge naturally. \nThrough meditation\, gentle movement and play\, shared inquiry\, poetry\, and moments of quiet\, we explore how to nourish what supports clarity\, joy\, and steadiness\, without forcing change or improvement. This work invites a direct\, embodied sense of how freedom is cultivated through wise effort rather than pressure or self-correction. \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.

What if play could be a blessing? \nThe Body Remembers Freedom is a monthly gathering where we explore the intersection of meditation\, dharma\, and embodied practice. Each session includes time for stillness and contemplation\, a dharma talk or shared inquiry\, and InterPlay — a playful\, powerful practice using movement\, voice\, storytelling\, and deep listening to unlock the wisdom of the body. \nTogether we create a space that welcomes laughter\, tears\, rest\, and joy — a space where you can move freely\, feel deeply\, and be held in community. Through this practice\, we remember what it feels like to trust ourselves\, to breathe fully\, and to belong. \nParticipants are supported to be: \n\nMore grounded and connected to their bodies and each other\nReconnected to joy\, creativity\, and inner resource\nBetter able to meet life — and themselves — with compassion and presence\n\nWe gather to remember the sacred in the ordinary\, to bless our own aliveness\, and to reconnect with community\, the earth\, and the truth in our bones. \nCome as you are. No performance\, experience\, or flexibility required — just a willingness to be curious and present. \nWe suggest you wear comfortable clothing that you can move in freely. \nSave the dates for additional Thursday sessions in this series!
