In-Person and Online: Tuning the Heart – A Daylong Retreat

with Peter Doobinin

In-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street, 12th Floor
 

The Buddha taught his students to be “in tune with the dharma.” In fact, we might think of dharma practice as a process in which we learn to come into rhythm with ourselves and others.

But, more often than not, we’re out of tune. We live in a state of tightness, stress, and dis-ease. This quality of dissonance is indicative of the degree to which we’re cut off from the heart, from our goodness, from wisdom, compassion, love, joy, and peace. It’s a state in which we’re not able to function fully and effectively in our lives.

In following the Buddha’s path, we learn to connect to the rhythm of life. In practicing breath meditation, we learn to connect to and come into rhythm. In walking meditation, we learn to maintain this elemental rhythm. Eventually, we learn to extend this quality of being in tune to all our postures, and in all our activities. More and more, we are able to “tune in” to the happiness of the heart.

The day will include periods of sitting & walking meditation, teaching, and discussion. Some meditation experience is recommended, but not required.
