SUMMARY:The Antidote to Stress (in-person event)
DESCRIPTION:“Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.” We generate our own stress and suffering by how we use the mind … or\, more accurately\, how we misuse the mind. There are various ways of working with this; in this session\, we’ll examine and practice with one of the most powerful methods. \nThe format will be similar to our previous meetups: some quick intros\, a brief talk called “The Antidote to Stress\,” a 25ish-minute sitting\, and time for Q+A and general discussion. \n*** LOCATION ***\nWe’ll be meeting in the Watertown Savings Bank room on the first floor of the Watertown Public Library. The room is down the hallway right by the main desk. Feel free to bring cushions\, pillows\, etc. for our sitting\, and there are chairs available if that’s preferred. \nThe library recommends but does not require masks; you may see their latest policy here: https://www.watertownlib.org/514/COVID-19-Library-Updates \nI’m looking forward to sitting and sharing with you all once again!

SUMMARY:Inquire Within (In-Person Event)
DESCRIPTION:There are many common questions about mindfulness and insight meditation practice\, and many of us often feel confused or stuck in the same places. Am I supposed to be watching the breathing\, or\, y’know … having insights? Can I move when my leg falls asleep\, and am I allowed to scratch that itch? Is there more than one right – or wrong – way to practice? Oh\, and by the way … when is it ok to stop? \nLet’s look at clearing some of these up. Have a question you’d like submit? Feel free to drop me a line here on Meetup or via MindfulnessInBlueJeans.com … and we’ll also be having our usual 25-minute guided meditation and Q+A/discussion period\, so you can ask whatever you like during the latter as well. \n*** LOCATION ***\nWe’ll be meeting in the Watertown Savings Bank room on the first floor of the Watertown Public Library.

SUMMARY:Mindfulness 101: "Am I Doing This Right?"
DESCRIPTION:We build and maintain a strong foundation by periodically getting back to basics about what we’re doing — and not doing — as part of a mindfulness meditation practice.

SUMMARY:Handling the World's Chaos
DESCRIPTION:Lately\, the world’s chaos feels … relentless. Our ability to change that is limited\, but we *can* change how we handle it\, and that’s the first step to making things better for others as well as ourselves. This session is a chance to improve our skills. \nAs usual\, we’ll open with a brief talk\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link. \nFeel free to share this event publicly\, but please only share this event page and not the actual Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Expanding Your Comfort Zone
DESCRIPTION:Anxiety\, panic disorder\, and agoraphobia brought me to mindfulness and insight meditation … and mindfulness and insight meditation brought me to a much better place. In this session\, I’ll share the mindset and techniques that I used (on AND off the cushion) to climb my way back. \nAs usual\, we’ll open with a brief talk\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link. \nFeel free to share this event publicly\, but please only share this event page and not the actual Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Pitfall! (Mindfulness and Insight Meditation Traps)
DESCRIPTION:Like any path worth walking\, our spiritual journeys are fraught with traps. New practitioners often encounter confusion from common paradoxes\, and experienced meditators discover new (and increasingly sneaky!) tar pits as practice deepens. In this session\, we’ll examine a few of these fun little hurdles and how to skillfully navigate them. \nThis session will follow our usual format: we’ll open with a brief talk\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link. \nFeel free to share this event publicly\, but please only share this event page and not the actual Zoom link.

SUMMARY:After Enlightenment\, The Laundry (Please read description!)
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n“After enlightenment\, the laundry” is one of my favorite phrases. It’s a terrific reminder that mindfulness meditation is not about escaping life or transcending day-to-day reality\, but about truly LIVING each moment as it unfolds. \n*** This session will be a little different ***\nMany of my most profound insights and shifts have happened OFF the cushion. Meeting via Zoom gives us the opportunity to engage in an off-the-cushion practice … together! \nFor this session\, feel free to engage in a physical chore or other activity during the guided meditation; optimally\, something simple that does not require much active thinking or that would make too much noise to hear the guidance. Many tasks that we normally do on auto-pilot will be perfect; you might fold laundry\, wash dishes\, or do some slow walking. (Or\, if you prefer\, kick it old-school and just sit.) \nWe’ll open with a brief talk as usual\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link: After Enlightenment\, The Laundry \n  \n

SUMMARY:New Year\, New Karma
DESCRIPTION: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 new year is always a great time to do so! \nThis session will follow our usual format: we’ll open with a brief talk\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link. \nI’m looking forward to sitting and sharing with you all once again!

SUMMARY:Mindfulness 101: "Am I Doing This Right?"
DESCRIPTION:The dawning of a new year is a great time to get back to basics about what we’re doing — and not doing — as part of a mindfulness meditation practice. This session is an introduction for new practitioners and the merely curious\, as well as an opportunity for experienced (or lapsed 😉 ) meditators to refocus. \nThis session will follow our usual format: we’ll open with a brief talk\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link. \nI’m looking forward to sitting and sharing with you all once again!

SUMMARY:Letting 2021 - And Other Things - Go
DESCRIPTION:“Just let it go.” That advice – whether offered with good intention or as a passive-aggressive brush-off – isn’t very helpful. The end of another tumultuous and traumatic year is the perfect time to practice effective ways of ACTUALLY letting go. \nThis session will follow our usual format: we’ll open with a brief talk\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link. \nI’m looking forward to sitting and sharing with you all once again!

See you then\, and we’ll get this sorted! 😄 \nThis session will follow our usual format: we’ll open with a brief talk\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Managing Uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:A common challenge in this human experience is that we Don’t. Like. Uncertainty. As much as we want total certainty\, it simply isn’t a thing … so managing the discomfort of not-knowing is a necessary skill for living with greater ease. In this session\, we’ll examine ways to do just that. \nThis session will follow our usual format: we’ll open with a brief talk\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:We Are That Which We Seek. Wait\, What?
DESCRIPTION:At a retreat I once attended\, the teacher shared this quote: “we are that which we seek.” During the Q+A at the end\, a young woman in the front row asked what this meant. (The teacher said that he wouldn’t dream of depriving her of the reward of working it out for herself. 🙂 ) I arrived at two of my own conclusions\, which I’ll share at this event. \nThis session will follow our usual format: we’ll open with a brief talk\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Forgiveness? Forgive this! (Online event)
DESCRIPTION:Forgiveness sounds lovely\, but the process of getting there? Not so much. I’ve worked deeply to navigate this mental and emotional maze amidst shock and betrayal in the past\, and will share the insights that I’ve found most helpful. (Bonus: I’ll also explain the picture choice for this event\, which has a rather caustic double-meaning.) \nThis session will follow our usual format: we’ll open with a brief talk\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link.
