SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: Mindful Writing - Finding Our Authentic Voice
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: Mindful Writing – Finding Our Authentic Voice\n \nwith Tracy Cochran\n \nFridays\, September 12th – October 10th\, 2025 | 4:00pm – 5:30pm ET\n \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor\n \n\n“If you’re invested in security and certainty\, you are on the wrong planet\,” teaches Pema Chodron. Yet the Buddha found a way to be grounded and clear in this ever-changing world—and he offered us his path. \nCombining mindfulness meditation with mindful writing\, we will discover how in the Buddha’s own time following the “right” steps meant living in alignment with our authentic nature.  \nEach week we will begin with a guided meditation to ground in a state of relaxed presence. Next\, we will practice writing mindfully together. Each week teacher Tracy Cochran will provide fresh prompts aimed at helping you remember your own deepest experience—moments of connection and joy and wisdom. We will create a safe space together so that we can listen deeply to our authentic selves. Some may wish to share what they write but there will be no pressure to do so.  \nJoin us on five successive Fridays as we explore the Buddha’s teachings and how they can spark enhanced creativity and expand our experience of the world.  \nThis course is suitable for all beings—no meditation or writing experience required. \nWhat is the cure for the suffering that comes from feeling isolated and insecure? Guided by the steps of the Buddha’s ancient path\, we will experiment with how good it can feel to be part of a greater story. \nNote: If you’re not able to attend every session\, feel free to sign up for any number of “drop-in” sessions on the in-person or online registration forms below. \nIn-Person Registration:\nPlease register below.

SUMMARY:Online: The Four Ennobling Truths
DESCRIPTION:Online: The Four Ennobling Truths\n \nwith Elaine Retholtz\n \nMondays\, September 15th – October 6th\, 2025 | 9:30am – 11:30am ET\n \nOnline via Zoom\n \n\nYou might have read or heard about the Buddha’s Four Noble Truths\, but what are they\, really? How do we integrate these teachings into daily life? \nThe Four Noble Truths—one of the Buddha’s first teachings—offer a structured yet flexible guide for cultivating wisdom and ethical living in a way that is both practical and transformative. These teachings can actually be reframed as the Four Ennobling Truths.  \nAs we investigate their applicability to our lives\, we quickly see how they can lead to a profound sense of freedom from our habitual worries\, emotional reactions\, and obsessions. As Buddhist monk Ajahn Sumedho taught\, “Our practice is not to follow the heart; it is to train the heart.” \nIn this four-week program\, we will explore how the Four Noble Truths can be a source of groundedness\, clarity\, and direction\, even when we are experiencing internal or external chaos.  \nJoin teacher Elaine Retholtz to learn what it means to practice these ancient teachings in the modern world.  \nThis program is open to all—no prior study or experience required. \nOnline Registration:\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!

DESCRIPTION:In-Person: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Course \nwith Margrit Pittman-Polletta \n\nIn-Person Orientation: Tuesday\, September 2\, 2025 | 6:30pm – 9:00pm\nIn-Person Course: Tuesdays\, September 16 – November 4\, 2025 | 6:30pm – 9:00pm\nIn-Person Daylong: Saturday\, October 18 | 9:00am – 4:30pm \nLocation: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street on the 12th Floor \n \nMindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is the ground-breaking and time-tested\, scientifically researched program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979 for the University of Massachusetts Medical School. \nThis transformative course is suited for those coming to meditation for the first time or for experienced meditators who realize they have not yet integrated these practices fully into their lives. \nWhat To Expect:\nMBSR uses meditation\, mindful yoga\, and inquiry/discussion as a way of exploring the habits of the mind to discover how these patterns of reactivity become a major cause of stress and where we could intervene to change them. MBSR helps participants learn to alter their relationship with each moment of their lives and through it derive more clarity\, joy\, fulfillment\, and meaning from their lives. Classes usually have 25-30 participants but may be smaller. The course is experiential: by paying attention to what arises in daily and class practice\, and through exploring the challenges that arise and how these are met\, a supportive and safe container is created for students to feel connected and be inspired. Participants are supported by recorded guided meditations and are expected to practice 45-60 minutes of daily formal meditation as well as various informal practices. \nBenefits of MBSR:\nResearch over the past 46 years indicates that a majority of people who complete this program report a greater ability to cope more effectively with short and long term stressful situations; an increased ability to relax\, lasting decreases in physical and psychological symptoms; reduction in pain levels and enhanced ability to cope with chronic pain and most importantly a greater energy and enthusiasm for life. \nSome of the Skills People Learn in MBSR Courses: \n\nPractical coping skills to improve the ability to handle stressful situations\nTechniques for being physically and mentally relaxed and at ease\nGentle full body conditioning exercises to strengthen the body and release muscular tension\nThe ability to be increasingly aware of the interplay of mind and body in health and illness\nThe ability to face change and difficult times in life with greater ease\nGreater ability to decrease the physical\, mental and emotional effects of the societal stressors of sexism\, racism\, homophobia\, xenophobia and gender inequity among many other challenges\n\nCourse Dates: \nFree Orientation (required): Tuesday\, September 2\, 2025 | 6:30pm – 9:00pm\nCourse: Tuesdays\, September 16 – November 4\, 2025 | 6:30pm – 9:00pm\nDaylong: Saturday\, October 18\, 2025 | 9:00am – 4:30pm \nSliding Scale Course Fee: Sustaining $715 – Base $420 \nPlease choose your rate mindfully and be as generous as possible so that NYI can continue to offer financial assistance to those in need of other NYI offerings. \nIf you need financial assistance\, we have a limited amount of partial scholarships available.
