New York Insight hosts this weekly series with Jon Aaron, Wednesdays 9-11am
Please join our friends at Chicago Meditates for a “Thaypassana” meditation retreat with Janice Cittasubha Sheppard and David Haskin which will draw upon the wisdom teachings of both Thich Nhat Hahn and the Insight practices of Theravada Buddhism. The retreat will be held at the beautiful Siena Retreat Center in Racine, WI, November 7-10, 2024.
The present moment is the only moment in which we can experience life as it happens but, in our busy lives, our minds are often disconnected from this truth, and we become lost in rumination about the past and the future. By reconnecting with our body and breathing, we experience the present moment directly and can open to the ease, freedom, and release of a receptive and open heart. As a wonderful teacher, Ajahn Sucitto, says, we can, “let the heart and body start to dialogue.”
These few days of silence will create a supportive environment in which, by practicing sitting, walking and standing meditation, mindful movement and mindful eating, we can turn inward and directly learn about our own body, heart and mind moment by moment. Dharma reflections, small group interviews, large group question and response sessions, and some one-on-one sessions will be offered.
