Adrienne will guide us through an active meditation that will explore the relationship between our body, mind, the space around us and between us.

New York Insight Meditation Center presents a day-long retreat with Nadine Helstroffer and Sandra Weinberg--Becoming Intimate with the Body: Awareness in Stillness and Motion.

Saturday, February 16, 10am–5 pm
Fee: $40
28 West 27th Street, 10th floor, Manhattan
Phone: 212-213-4802
E-mail: nyinsight@earthlink.net

This day is an opportunity to enjoy getting to know yourself in your body. As we tune into the spaciousness inside and outside the body, we come closer to our true nature. Building on the foundation of mindfulness practice, we will engage in a joyful and challenging form of inquiry in both stillness and movement. We will shift our awareness from concepts about the body to the arising and falling of each moment to moment experience. The four postures of body--sitting, standing, moving, and lying down--will be the place of exploration of our grasping and letting go.
