SUMMARY:In-Person: Tai Chi - Meditation in Motion
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: Tai Chi – Meditation in Motion \nwith Marijke Eliasberg \nWednesday\, April 1st\, 2026 | 5:30pm – 6:30pm \nLocation: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor \n \nIn the Insight\, or vipassana\, meditation tradition\, we talk a lot about noticing the breath\, but what about the rest of the body? \nIn fact\, tai chi is often referred to as “meditation in motion.” This practice is one of slowing down while still feeling energized\, and learning to relax our muscles while maintaining precision. \nThis practice is well-suited to do before sitting meditation—tai chi is one way to get in touch with the wholeness of the breathing body. Some benefits of tai chi include improved muscle strength\, balance\, and flexibility\, and an increase in energy and focus. \nAll are welcome! No previous experience with tai chi is required to join the sessions. You are free to sign up for a single session\, the whole series\, or anything in-between. This series runs from April 1st through April 29th. \nThis offering is part of New York Insight’s Mindful Movement series. \nRegistration:\nPlease register below for one or more sessions in this series. (Please note that the registration price includes a base level of teacher support\, and you will have the opportunity to donate more after the program.) \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.

SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: The Path Through a Broken Heart
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: The Path Through a Broken Heart \nwith Jon Aaron \nSaturday\, April 4th\, 2026 | 10:00am – 1:00pm ET \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor \n \nIt’s impossible to move through life without experiencing heartbreak—the loss of a loved one or relationship\, the end of a job\, the dissolution of home\, culture\, or way of life. The dharma path of mindfulness and compassion teaches us not to bypass this pain\, but to walk directly through it: to know it fully\, and to discover freedom within it. \nIn these three hours of  practice\, we will explore how to fully inhabit the broken heart\, releasing ourselves from the grip of our stories—the “What ifs\,” the “If onlys\,” the “I should haves”—and open to what is actually here. This is done with an intention of kindness\, humor and joy. \nThis retreat will include various forms of meditation including chanting\, prostrations\, sitting and walking practice. \nIt is hoped that participants will leave feeling as though a weight has been lifted from their lives. \nIn-Person Registration:\nPlease register below for in-person participation. If you are able\, registering at the “Supporter” level enables others to attend at the “Subsidized” level. Thank you for your generosity! (Please note that the registration price includes a base level of teacher support\, and you will have the opportunity to donate more after the program.) \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. \nBring a Buddy: If you are a member of our Circle of Friends\, you’re invited to bring a Dharma buddy to this program for no additional cost.

SUMMARY:In-Person: Tai Chi - Meditation in Motion
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: Tai Chi – Meditation in Motion \nwith Marijke Eliasberg \nWednesday\, April 8th\, 2026 | 5:30pm – 6:30pm \nLocation: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor \n \nIn the Insight\, or vipassana\, meditation tradition\, we talk a lot about noticing the breath\, but what about the rest of the body? \nIn fact\, tai chi is often referred to as “meditation in motion.” This practice is one of slowing down while still feeling energized\, and learning to relax our muscles while maintaining precision. \nThis practice is well-suited to do before sitting meditation—tai chi is one way to get in touch with the wholeness of the breathing body. Some benefits of tai chi include improved muscle strength\, balance\, and flexibility\, and an increase in energy and focus. \nAll are welcome! No previous experience with tai chi is required to join the sessions. You are free to sign up for a single session\, the whole series\, or anything in-between. This series runs from April 1st through April 29th. \nThis offering is part of New York Insight’s Mindful Movement series. \nRegistration:\nPlease register below for one or more sessions in this series. (Please note that the registration price includes a base level of teacher support\, and you will have the opportunity to donate more after the program.) \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.

SUMMARY:Online: When Sh*t Hits the Fan - Broken Heart Dharma
DESCRIPTION:Online: When Sh*t Hits the Fan – Broken Heart Dharma \n\nPart 2: Picking Up The Pieces \nwith Jon Aaron \nThursdays\, April 9th to May 14th\, 2026 | 10:00am – 12:00pm ET \n \nThe Buddha’s First Noble Truth clearly states: there is dukkha. This has been translated as un-satisfactoriness\, suffering\, dis-ease\, being out of whack—take your pick! We all know it when we are in it. In other words\, shit happens. In fact\, shit is always happening. We all see it all around us\, and we experience it in many ways. Every now and then\, in addition to moving through a world so prone to breaking our hearts\, our own more personal world might get turned upside down. You lose a loved one\, a job\, a home\, or your body as you once knew it. You take a devastating financial hit. You’re injured in such a way that your life is permanently changed. A relationship ends. Something or someone you’ve counted on your whole life is suddenly gone. Sometimes\, several losses or injuries hit at once or in close succession: when it rains\, it pours! It can feel like the world is falling apart. And in many ways\, it is. In those moments dukkha is not just a concept; we feel it in our bones\, we call out into the night. \nMost of us\, understandably\, are conditioned to push away suffering. To leap into making it better\, or simply not feeling it. To deny it\, to fix it\, to rage at it. I get it. I have those reflexes in me. Our culture can also exacerbate such aversion\, and sell us all kinds of things and services in these moments of desperation. Indeed\, the overwhelming sadness or discombobulation can be paralyzing. \nCompartmentalization\, to some degree\, can be a good survival tactic. To help us still get out of bed\, brush our teeth\, make a meal. And yet\, there is also a path to freedom that awaits in feeling into the dukkha fully and fearlessly. This is not about a dull acceptance\, or the indulgence of self-pity. It’s about the courage to face reality\, to acknowledge our humanity\, and to build from there\, with less delusions\, less attachments to false refuges\, less illusions of safety that lead us astray. \nThose familiar with the Buddhist tradition will have likely come across the teaching of the 12 links\, or nidanas\, which keep us going around and around in cycles of suffering. But in the early Buddhist texts\, there is another set of links\, the positive nidanas\, that set us on to what some have called the Spiral Path to liberation. The first of those links is\, unsurprisingly\, dukkha. Immediately after comes sraddha (faith on that which is reliable\, or confidence). Sraddha is crucial for the awakening process\, yet it depends on suffering in order to arise. How does that work? What does it mean for those of us who may be in the thick of a broken heart? Of life plans suddenly imploding? Of devastating losses? \nDrawing on Pema Chödrön’s cherished book and other resources\, I invite you to join me in a series of three classes to explore these themes. Let’s sit together in the rubble of our lives and see what happens when we don’t turn away. \nWhat the course includes: \n\na period of guided meditation specific to the course theme\na dharma talk\nQ&A and discussion\nsomatic exercises and occasional chanting/mantra practice\nRecording of the talk portion and any readings will be sent to registered participants\n\nOptional Mentoring: \nEvery registrant will also have the option to join the course with an individual mentoring session in each of the sections. \nOptional Retreats: \nAn online Retreat Day will be scheduled after Part 1 (optional)\, and a short retreat after Part 2. \nSliding Scale \nNYI is committed to making these courses easily available\, so we use a sliding scale. Each of the three sections is offered at a sliding scale as follows. \n\nBenefactor $420\nStandard $300\nSupported $180 (please email registration@nyimc.org about payment plan options or scholarships if this is still out of reach).\n\nPlease choose the level of contribution that is most suitable to your situation. \nEveryone who is registered will receive recordings of the talks and all materials\, even if they miss a session. \nPart 1: When Things Fall Apart (Feb 5 to Mar 12)\nPart 2: Picking Up The Pieces (Apr 9 to May 14)\nPart 3: Shattered And Whole (May 21 to Jun 25) \nSix Thursdays (online) in each series\n10:00 AM–12:00 PM EST / 9:00 AM–11:00 AM CST / 7:00 AM–9:00 AM PST / 3:00 PM–5:00 PM GMT \nRegistration – Part 2\nUse this form if you wish to register for Part 2: Picking Up the Pieces (Apr 9 to May 14; 6 sessions).

SUMMARY:Online: From Rupture to Repair - The Inner Work of Healing in Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Online: From Rupture to Repair – The Inner Work of Healing in Relationships \nwith Dalya Tamir \nThursdays\, April 9 – 30\, 2026 | 6:30pm – 8:30pm ET \n \n“My daughter won’t speak to me\, she hides in her room and acts like a stranger.” \n“My husband and I fight all the time\, over nonsense. Then we make up\, and before we know it we fight again. I forgot what it feels like to enjoy each other.” \nRuptures in relationships are some of the most painful experiences in our lives. Tension\, disagreements\, misunderstandings\, or arguments may leave us feeling confused\, hurt\, angry\, disheartened\, and often afraid of what will come next. When old or current hurts in relationships are not attended to\, the distance between individuals or groups of people may grow wider and the possibility of bridging that gap can seem impossible. \nOver the course of this four-week course\, we will deepen our capacity to be present in challenging relationships. We will begin the journey of repair by turning toward our inner landscape\, meeting our raw experience with mindfulness\, and holding ourselves in loving awareness. With the help of teacher Dalya Tamir\, we’ll explore our willingness to engage in the process of repair and set an intention to do so. Using an approach based on Non-Violent Communication\, we will learn how to identify our unmet needs and learn how to communicate them in a way that can be heard. \nThis course will provide you with tools to create healthy boundaries\, rebuild trust with yourself and others\, hold yourself with compassion\, and will offer new ways to rekindle connection\, understanding\, and even warmth in a relationship that has been challenging for you. \nJoin us for an interactive and rich exploration of repair in relationships that will call forth your innate wisdom and compassion and will enhance harmony\, peace\, and wellbeing in our world. \nNote: This program will be recorded. Recordings will be sent to all registrants after each session\, so you are welcome to register even if you cannot attend one or more sessions live. \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! (Please note that the registration price includes a base level of teacher support\, and you will have the opportunity to donate more after the program.) \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. \nBring a Buddy: If you are a member of our Circle of Friends\, you’re invited to bring a Dharma buddy to this program for no additional cost. Simply select “1” from the drop-down next to the Bring a Buddy level\, and enter your special discount code (provided in your Circle of Friends welcome email) to reduce the price to that of a single\, standard registration.

SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: The Heart of Addiction - Working with Shame\, Repairing Attachment Wounds
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: The Heart of Addiction – Working with Shame\, Repairing Attachment Wounds \nwith George Haas \nSaturday\, April 11th\, 2026 | 10:00am – 5:00pm ET \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor \n \nAddiction often runs deeper than the behaviors we’re trying to change. It’s tied to patterns of craving\, emotional overwhelm\, and disconnection that can be difficult to interrupt on our own. \nThis daylong retreat is open to anyone interested in understanding these patterns more deeply\, whether you’re in recovery or simply exploring the relationship between meditation\, attachment\, and addiction. \nMeditation teacher George Haas brings together Buddhist practice\, attachment repair\, and G. Allan Marlatt’s work on relapse prevention to offer a practical way of working with these dynamics. \nDrawing on over two decades of teaching\, his approach focuses on how relational patterns shape craving\, emotional regulation\, and our capacity for connection. \nYou’ll learn how to stay present with urges without immediately acting on them\, work with difficult emotional states like shame\, anger\, and depression\, and begin building forms of connection that feel more stable and supportive. \nNote: This program will be recorded. The recording will be sent to all registrants after the program\, so please feel free to sign up even if you cannot join in real time. \nIn-Person Registration:\nPlease register below for in-person participation. If you are able\, registering at the “Supporter” level enables others to attend at the “Subsidized” level. Thank you for your generosity! (Please note that the registration price includes a base level of teacher support\, and you will have the opportunity to donate more after the program.) \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. \nBring a Buddy: If you are a member of our Circle of Friends\, you’re invited to bring a Dharma buddy to this program for no additional cost.

SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: Imprints & Triggers - How Karma Works
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: Imprints & Triggers – How Karma Works \nwith David Nichtern \nTuesdays\, April 14th and 21st\, 2026 | 6:30pm – 8:30pm ET \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor \n \nHave you ever noticed how\, in the moment\, somebody can say or do something that seems to dramatically shift your state of mind\, causing you to experience a sudden surge in irritation\, grasping or zoning out? \nThese workshops trace karma as the subtle residue of thoughts\, words\, and actions: imprints that settle in the mind\, and the triggers that awaken them\, pulling us into automatic responses without our conscious awareness.  \nBased on the highly nuanced Buddhist teachings of Abhidharma\, through mindfulness and awareness techniques\, we will track this process – developing the capacity to see\, in real time\, how karmic patterns are created\, and how they pull us into unnecessary suffering within our own mind and in relation to our interactions with others.  \nJoin teacher David Nichtern for this special two-part series! Workshops will include meditation instruction and practice\, lectures\, discussion and breakout groups.
