How do these two traditions complement one another\, and where do their approaches diverge? \nThis September\, New York Insight we lcomes four meditation teachers and clinicians working at the intersection of Buddhist practice\, psychotherapy\, psychiatry\, and neuroscience for a special series exploring the relationship between Buddhist practice and Western psychology. \nTogether\, Buddhist practice and psychology can prov ide a broad framework for exploring the roots of suffering and the conditi ons that support greater freedom and well-being. Yet the two traditions ar e not interchangeable\, and neither offers a complete answer to every form of distress. \nWhat can meditation help us understand or transform\, and when is therapy needed? How do Buddhist teachings on selfhood intersect wi th contemporary psychology and neuroscience? What might each tradition ove rlook without the perspective of the other? \nOver four Tuesday evenings\, Pilar Jennings\, Paul Fulton\, Sará King\, and Mark Epstein will explore the possibilities\, tensions\, and challenges that arise when Buddhism an d psychology meet. \nThe series concludes with psychiatrist and author Mar k Epstein discussing the 30th anniversary edition of his acclaimed book\, Thoughts Without a Thinker\, followed by a book signing held by Posman Boo ks. \nMore information about each session coming soon. \nRegistration – Full Series\nUse the buttons below to register for the full\, four-week se ries.\nSupporter: $220 | Standard: $160 | Subsidized $120\nIn-Person Serie s Online (Zoom) Series \n  \nRegistration – Individual Sessions\nUse t he buttons below to register for individual sessions.\nSupporter: $60 | St andard: $46 | Subsidized $30 \nSeptember 8th – Dr. Pilar Jennings\nTraum a and Self-Compassion Through the Lens of Both Traditions \nIn-Person 9/8 Session\nOnline (Zoom) 9/8 Session\n  \nSeptember 15th – Paul Fulton\nW aking Up\, But to What?

We’re often taught to manage it\, release it\, or simply watch it pass. But anger can carry real intelligence — about what matters to us\, where our boundarie s are\, what we’ve lost\, and where we need healing. \nThis four-part se ries offers something different: not a technique for getting rid of anger\ , but a framework for understanding it more clearly — so it can become u seful rather than destructive\, a doorway rather than a trap. \nAbout the Series \nAcross four sessions\, we explore four distinct families of anger : \n\nEveryday anger — the irritation\, frustration\, and friction of or dinary life. Left unexamined\, it accumulates into resentment and reactivi ty. Understood clearly\, it reveals what matters to us and offers early si gnal before the fire grows.\nDefensive anger — the anger that arises whe n a boundary is crossed or a value is violated. When it hardens\, it can t ip into self-righteousness or aggression. When heard\, it carries the inte lligence of protection and moral clarity.\nAttachment anger — the fire o f disconnection\, longing\, and relational rupture. When it runs unconscio usly\, it can drive the very disconnection it most fears. When understood\ , it reveals how much connection matters — and what it needs in order to heal.\nProjective anger — when the charge of what we feel exceeds the p resent moment\, pointing toward something unresolved in ourselves. When un examined\, it keeps us locked in cycles of blame and reactivity. When met with honesty\, it becomes one of the most direct pathways to self-understa nding and healing.\n\nThroughout the series we will also explore how each of these families of anger shows up in our collective life — in polariza tion\, moral distress\, ecological anxiety\, and the erosion of community. This is not only personal work. It is also practice for staying human in difficult times. \nHow the Sessions Work \nEach two-hour session includes: \n\nA 30-minute guided meditation with multiple anchor options\nTeaching grounded in nearly 50 years of Theravada contemplative practice\, trauma-i nformed understanding\, and attachment theory\nOptional break-out inquiry or private journaling\nGroup discussion and Q&A\n\nAll experiential compon ents are optional. You are in charge of your level of engagement throughou t. Backing off or slowing down is understood as wise and skillful practice . \nThis is a mindfulness and educational series.

Each life stage has its own purpose in o ur development as a whole being. In every season of our life\, there are c hanges and growth\, letting go and rebirth. Midlife could bring us menopau se\, greying hair\, childcare\, eldercare\, an empty nest\, loss of loved ones\, second careers\, and relationship changes… but we also have more life experiences and skills than we had in our younger years. Perhaps we a lso have more time and resources to find joy and explore our passions. Whi le our culture likes to associate this time in our life with turmoil and c risis\, it could also be a great time for inner growth\, clarity\, and pur pose. \nIn this five-month course\, we will use inquiries\, experiential e xercises\, and meditation practice to explore our underlying emotions arou nd midlife issues. What are our fears\, doubts\, agitation\, hopes\, and d reams? How do we make peace with the life we have led so far? How do we li ve a fulfilling life with the time we have left? As we have learned from o ur life experiences so far\, have we started to live in accordance with ou r inner values and deepest desires? How do we let go of our former selves and keep evolving? This class is for exploring questions rather than havin g answers. It is based on Buddhist philosophy to help us transform our min d in approaching these inquiries. It is highly interactive and experientia l in nature – we will spend much time in group work and less time in for mal sitting practice. Central to this course is building a community among people in the midlife stage. \nThis is an in-person course and will meet monthly on a Saturday for half a day. We will meditate\, journal\, form bu ddy groups\, and build community through sharing\, dialogues\, and group w ork. \nThe class creates a sacred and supportive container to connect with others at the same life stage. Lin is a gifted teacher and guided us thro ugh a journey of facing mid-life with gratitude\, honesty\, and introspect ion. I came out of the class with a more expansive and empowered perspecti ve on this unique stage of life. \n– A participant from Soul-Centric Mid -Life\, 2023 \nRegistration:\nPlease register below.
