Sliding Scale

I am committed to making these courses accessible to as many as possible, so I use a sliding scale. Each of the three sections is offered at a sliding scale as follows:

  • Benefactor $420

  • Standard $300

  • Supported $180 (please inquire about scholarships if this is still out of reach).

Please choose the level of contribution that is most suitable to your situation. Anything you offer over the standard rate allows me to offer scholarships to those for whom even the Supported rate is out of reach. This is how we support one another.

If you can commit to the entire series in three parts (18 weeks), there is a 20% discount.

Everyone who is registered will receive recordings of the talks and all materials, even if they miss a session.

Cultivating Joy and Grace in Uncertainty

to Feb 26

Cultivating Joy and Grace in Uncertainty

Can we live with uncertainty, not from a place of fear but from a place of buoyancy, curiosity and ease? How can the teachings provide practical ways of coping with these various threats? How can we cultivate joy in uncertainty, instead of battling it in the doomed hope of clinging to certainties that ultimately will not last? Uncertainty itself is utterly certain  – and this can be a refuge.

Insight 101-- Six Week Beginner Course

Insight 101-- Six Week Beginner Course

  • New York Insight Meditation Center (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

A class for beginning meditators and those curious about the Buddhist approach to meditation
Six Tuesday Evenings

6:30PM-8:30PM

This course will provide fundamental instruction in insight meditation. Emphasis is placed on the practices of sitting and walking meditation and developing mindfulness in daily life. Explanation and discussion of the Buddhist teachings central to insight meditation are part of each class. The course is appropriate for beginners as well as experienced meditators who wish to maintain their “beginner’s mind.”

The teachings of the Buddha have an experiential emphasis. It is not a question of believing that practicing meditation is beneficial, but of actually trying it out and experiencing the results for oneself. Insight meditation is a way to develop wisdom and compassion. The core of the practice is the cultivation of mindfulness. In the past few years, there has been a great increase in the study of mindfulness and its benefits. This class is appropriate to all with an interest in meditation and everyone is welcome.
