SUMMARY:Judge Not? (Online event)
DESCRIPTION:Ah\, judgment. Such a loaded term in spiritual circles! Can we ever stop judging ourselves and others? And if not\, can we still … y’know … walk the path? In my experience\, the answer is a resounding YES\, and in this session I will share what brought me to that understanding. \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:Mindfulness 101: Am I Doing This Right? (In-person)
DESCRIPTION:*** NOTE: This is our return to IN-PERSON events. 😊 (Online events won’t be going away; they will alternate with the in-person events.) *** \nAs we find ourselves in another transition period\, let’s get back to basics about what we’re doing — and not doing — as part of a mindfulness meditation practice. This session will be a great 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. \nI’m looking forward to sitting and sharing with you all once again! \n*** LOCATION ***We’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. \n*** SAFETY ***Please note the following from the library’s policy page and feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions:“You are required to:Wear a mask while using the children’s and teen rooms\, regardless of vaccination status.Follow CDC and Massachusetts mask and social distancing guidance for unvaccinated people.Masks are recommended for all people in the library.”(Taken from https://www.watertownlib.org/514/COVID-19-Library-Updates)

SUMMARY:Holding Space
DESCRIPTION:Holding space for ourselves is usually the first thing we need and the last thing we do … so when we finally do so\, we discover that we’re not very good at it. Let’s work with some techniques to hone this crucial skill. \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:[RESCHEDULED] After Enlightenment\, The Laundry (Please read description!)
DESCRIPTION:— UPDATE: RESCHEDULED FOR JUNE 19 — \nI’ve received many requests to do another one of these\, so here we are. 🙂 \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. \nI’m looking forward to sitting (or not sitting 😉) and sharing with you all once again!

SUMMARY:Taming the Overactive Mind
DESCRIPTION:Planning … fretting … ruminating … problem-solving … all at the same time? And all OF the time? \nThat all sounds pretty familiar to this “Type A” guy. Let’s take a look at the mindset that creates this pattern\, and then practice several ways to let it dissolve. \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:Anger's Honeyed Crest and Poison Root
DESCRIPTION:In this follow-up to our most recent session\, we will examine the seductive side of anger; understanding its twisted allure is a key component for freedom from its siren song.

SUMMARY:Anger: From Blind Rage to Clear Seeing (Note time change!)
DESCRIPTION:Anger. Good? Bad? Acceptable? Necessary? Let’s start cracking this tough nut and establish some baselines around it\, and I’ll share a technique that made a quantum leap in my work with this daunting beast. \n*** TIME CHANGE ***\nLike last year\, our virtual meetups will take place at 11:00 AM EDT during the spring and summer. \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:Inquire Within
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. When is the best time to practice? And for how long? And what am I really supposed to be doing? 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. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link. \nI’m looking forward to sitting and sharing with you all once again!

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. \nI’m looking forward to sitting and sharing with you all once again!

SUMMARY:Building Self-Trust
DESCRIPTION:In our last session\, we explored some ways to ground ourselves in the body. Let’s follow this up by focusing on a critical element of feeling centered in body AND mind: building self-trust. \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: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:Letting 2020 - 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 this tumultuous and traumatic year is an outstanding time to take a look at HOW to actually go about doing this. \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:Getting Out of Your Own Way
DESCRIPTION:No one is better at getting in our way than us … which is pretty fortunate\, because our own patterns are the only ones we can actually change!

DESCRIPTION:Happiness. What is it really? Is it worth seeking? If so\, how? \nIn this session\, we’ll look at these questions surrounding this ever-present issue.

SUMMARY:Birthdays and Elections
DESCRIPTION:Mindfulness in Blue Jeans was launched on October 31st\, 2018; I myself was also launched on October 31st\, albeit a fair bit longer ago. This year\, that date happens to fall on the Saturday before Election Day. \nThis extra group session is both a commemoration and an opportunity to reinforce our inner stability for whatever may arise in our near-immediate future. There is no topic or talk; we will simply have a guided mindfulness session (about 25 minutes) and then time for questions and discussion. \nI’m looking forward to sharing our collective presence and energy! \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Benefit Event: Mindfulness 101 - Am I Doing This Right?
DESCRIPTION:Second and final session! \nFor full details and free or donation-based registration\, go to:https://mindfulness-101-benefit.eventbrite.com \nThis session is an introduction to mindfulness and insight meditation with 100% of the proceeds going to frontline health care workers and efforts to end police brutality. No kale or yoga pants required. \nOther things you won’t need: \n— A clear\, serene mind. (Your internal mess will work. Really.)— A beautiful mountain sunset. (Your external mess is fine too.)— A hemp bag (organic) filled with granola (same). \nThis is about the chance to center yourself\, practice mindful giving and receiving\, and make our inner and outer worlds better places to be … starting wherever you are\, and with whatever you’ve got. \nhttps://mindfulness-101-benefit.eventbrite.com \nI’ll provide an introduction to mindfulness and insight meditation\, followed by a short guided sitting and a Q+A period. Each part will last between 20 and 30 minutes for a total length of roughly 90 minutes. \nIf you are in a position to donate\, please give an amount that is appropriate for you. If a monetary donation is not right for you at this time but you would still like to attend\, PLEASE DO. My only ask\, if possible\, is that you share this with another person or three who might be interested. \n100% of the gross proceeds will go to Flexport\, who supply resources to frontline health care workers combating COVID-19. I’m absorbing the Eventbrite fees and will INCLUDE that in the amount. For example\, if you donate $15 and Eventbrite takes a buck behind the scenes\, Flexport will still get $15 on your behalf. \nALSO\, I will personally match the gross amount and donate that to Campaign Zero\, working to end police brutality in America. So if you gave $15\, that full $15 will go to Flexport and I will then donate another $15 to Campaign Zero. \nFor full details and free or donation-based registration\, go to:https://mindfulness-101-benefit.eventbrite.com
