Sunday Open House Meditation Gatherings
2022-12-24 10:00 - 12:00, 2023-01-08 10:00 - 12:00, 2023-01-15 10:00 - 12:00, 2023-01-29 10:00 - 12:00 | The Aligned Center, 1 Bridge Street, Foundry Building Suite 64, Irvington, New York, 10533
On Sunday mornings the Westchester Meditation Center will host a community gathering involving meditation practice, readings, and discussion. The theme of this season of Open House is How to Meditate, inspired by Pema Chodron’s book, How to Meditate: A Practical Guide to Making Friends with Your Mind.
Why meditate? Let’s explore.
When situations bother us we always feel we need to change the situation to improve our circumstances. But does that really work? How many situations must we change to achieve the level of comfort we aspire to? We will never fully be able to restrain external phenomena, but we can restrain our minds. Indeed, working with our mind is the only means through which we’ll actually find harmony and contentment with the world that we live in.
Meditation provides a golden key to address this yearning. During our winter open house, we will review chapter by chapter Pema Chodron’s book, How to Meditation, which provides a step-by-step guide to how we can meet and openly relate with our mind, embrace the fullness of our experience, and live a wholehearted life.
At each gathering, you will practice for two sessions with walking meditation in between, share reading and have a group discussion.
Cost: Free – Donations Welcome

The Art of Spiritual Transformation (Workshop One: The Art of Inner Freedom)
2023-01-22 12:00 - 15:00 | The Aligned Center, 1 Bridge Street, Foundry Building Suite 64, Irvington, New York, 10533
The Art of Spiritual Transformation
In January, February and March of 2023 you are invited to join Jeff Carreira for three experiential explorations in the art of spiritual transformation. These workshops will be held live at The Aligned Center and there is also the option to attend virtually via Zoom Video Conferencing. Each workshop will include spiritual guidance and instruction, practices and exercises, as well as discussion and dialog.
In these workshops Jeff intends to share a comprehensive introduction to everything that he has found that allows a person to release themselves from negative tendencies and live a spiritually awakened life free from the constricting influence of fear.
Workshop One: The Art of Inner Freedom
In the first workshop we will explore the positive power of letting go. As long as we remain reactive to the repeating patterns of thought and feeling that our mind cycles through, we will never be able to experience the joy of deeper spiritual growth. When we learn to rest in the non-reactive peace of pure awareness we discover our true self. Our true self is not intimidated by thoughts and feelings. It is always alert and ready to respond wholeheartedly to any circumstance. In this workshop you will discover how by living from this powerful center you can enter the path of deep transformation.
This is an in-person and online event.
Cost: $30 Online – $50 Per Workshop – $150 All Three Workshops

Four Golden Wheels: Qigong for Vitality, Love, and Wisdom
2023-01-28 10:30 - 12:00 | The Aligned Center, 1 Bridge Street, Foundry Building Suite 64, Irvington, New York, 10533
There are three centers that hold vast amounts of Qi energy deep inside your body. These three energy centers regulate your capacity for wisdom, love, and vitality. The relative strength of these qualities determines your energy type. In most of us, one of these centers tends to be stronger than the other two and one center tends to be weaker than the other two. This energetic imbalance manifests as an imbalance in daily life since Qi and life reflect each other. In this class we’ll explore each center and begin to get familiar with harmonizing the flow of each to tap our own well spring of inner joy and happiness. * The class will finish with a powerful group healing.
This is an in-person event.
