In-Person and Online: Practicing in the Midst of Conflict
with Stephen Fulder
Sunday, October 13th, 2024 | 10:00am – 1:00pm ET
In-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street, 12th Floor
These are times of uncertainty. It is easy to respond to the many conflicts around the world with anger, confusion, despair, or to even switch off our emotions. We may also be experiencing conflict and divisiveness closer to home, and we can often feel exhausted from what feels like an endless struggle.
During this 3-hour mini-retreat, we will explore how to face these challenges with steadiness, from a more universal and less personal point of view. We will practice meditation that helps us to remember our big soul, and listen to our wise, kind, and liberating inner voices.
Particular emphasis will be given to dharma practice and meditation needed to develop deep inner resources such as trust and equanimity. Teacher Stephen Fulder will discuss his years of experience in leading peacemaking activities in Israel and Palestine, focusing on how to work with our views and those of others who may be against us, as well as how to engage tirelessly in making a difference.
During this event, Stephen Fulder will be joining us via zoom and New York Insight Teachers Jon Aaron and Elaine Retholtz will be facilitating in-person.
