  • Stop Poking The Bear

    Watertown Free Public Library 123 Main St, Watertown, MA, United States

    After such a great workshop on November 23rd -- which included my "Calming Your Inner Control Freak" session -- I thought it would be a good time to reprise Part II of the Control Freak series, "Stop Poking the Bear." This is a great follow-on for those who are familiar with Part I, but also […]

  • Sit Happens: Holiday Oasis (Silent Meditation)

    Watertown Center for Healing Arts 22 Mount Auburn St, Watertown, ma, us

    **Please arrive before 2:15 if possible; the silent practice starts at 2:20.** Come take a quiet, centering moment as we ride (or are unceremoniously dragged!) through the peak of the holiday season. This will be a silent, unguided meditation with no opening talk; we'll sit for 20 minutes, do a slow walking meditation for 20 […]

  • New Year, New Karma?

    Watertown Free Public Library 123 Main St, Watertown, MA, United States

    The concept of karma has gotten a bit twisted across time and space. We won't have time to delve TOO deeply into this critical pillar of Buddhist teachings, but we can reframe it to more closely align with its original meaning (which I find to be far more optimistic than our common Westernized interpretation). The […]

  • The Sneakiest Attachment of All

    Watertown Free Public Library 123 Main St, Watertown, MA, United States

    A spot has opened up for me to offer a Meetup on the 25th and I thought I'd share something I've been working on in my own practice recently; it digs into a surprising and critical insight that I've had about attachment, and my hunch is that it will resonate with many of you as […]

  • New Year, New Karma? (Second chance! 😊)

    Staples 335 Washington St, Woburn, MA, us

    Staples Spotlight asked if I'd lead some sessions at their new community spaces; the "New Year, New Karma?" session a couple of weeks ago had a long waiting list, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to offer it again for those who couldn't get in last time. And who says you can't […]

  • Workshop: Mindfulness for Dissolving Fear

    Note: this is a ticketed workshop with limited seating, so please don't wait too long to register if this topic resonates with you.

It has no real substance. And you […]

  • [Second session added] Workshop: Mindfulness for Dissolving Fear

    Watertown Center for Healing Arts 22 Mount Auburn St, Watertown, ma, us

    The Feb 8 workshop has already sold out; I've added a second session on the 15th, but only half as many spots will be available, so please don't wait too long to get your tickets if this topic resonates with you. Full details and registration here: http://dissolve-fear.eventbrite.com/ ***About this Event*** Fear is a cloud. It […]

  • Inquire Within

    Watertown Free Public Library 123 Main St, Watertown, MA, United States

    I thought it might be a nice change of pace to have some extra time for Q+A/discussion (which also happens to be my favorite part of our gatherings 😉). In place of an opening talk, we'll bookend our usual 30-minute sitting with Q+A/discussion periods. Feel free to bring any questions you might have about mindfulness, […]

  • Pitfall! (Mindfulness and Insight Meditation Traps)

    Watertown Center for Healing Arts 22 Mount Auburn St, Watertown, ma, us

    Last summer, we had an event that focused on a few of the traps that we find on our spiritual journeys. New practitioners often encounter confusion from common paradoxes, and experienced meditators discover increasingly sneaky tarpits as practice deepens. In this session, we'll look at a few more of these fun little hurdles and how […]

  • Mindfulness 101: “Am I Doing This Right?”

    Staples Connect 186 Alewife Brook Pkwy, Cambridge, MA, us

    **NOTE**This is a free event, but Staples Spotlight events require registration due to limited space. Here's the link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mindfulness-meditation-am-i-doing-this-right-tickets-98690089715 This first event at the Staples Spotlight venue in Cambridge seems like a good time for some back-to-basics about what we're doing (and not doing!) as part of a mindfulness meditation practice. This session will be […]
