About this Event
Isn't it funny how hard we try not to be where we are ... especially since it's in the only place we ever CAN be? Let's see if we can make it a better place to spend some time.
This 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.
This event is also being offered via the Boston Mindfulness and Insight Meditation Meetup if you'd like to join.
I'm looking forward to sharing and sitting with you all once again!
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.
Being Where You Are is presented by Ron Levine from , a 25-year practitioner of mindfulness and insight meditation.
After denying his own trauma for eight years, Ron finally fell apart in a crippling heap of anxiety, depression, panic disorder, and agoraphobia in early 1998. On disability and unable to leave his house, he began practicing vipassana (mindfulness-based insight meditation), which sparked a life-changing new direction cultivated on and off the cushion.
With backgrounds in social psychology, information technology, and yoga, Ron emphasizes a methodical and scientific results-based approach to facing our demons and finding inner peace. From Ron: "We each must walk our own path, but often face similar obstacles and traps. What makes each of us tremble varies, but we all know fear. The criteria we each use to determine our worthiness might differ, but we all know self-judgment. Our methods and skill sets can be worlds apart, but we all share the common baseline of wanting happiness."
Along with his private practice and corporate events, he leads workshops and practice groups online and in his native Boston area. (One thing he has NOT yet figured out: how to stop collecting cats. He and his wife have six.)
"Mindfulness in Blue Jeans ... because enlightenment doesn't care if you're wearing yoga pants."
