SUMMARY:Aligned Living Conversation: The New Rules of Aging Well
DESCRIPTION:Aligned Center Founder Matt Ludmer is delighted to sit down online with Danielle Claro to discuss Mind-Body Awareness. They will discuss Danielle’s new book\, The New Rules of Aging Well: A Simple Program for Immune Resilience\, Strength\, and Vitality\, written with the renowned integrative doctor Frank Lipman. \n \nThe New Rules of Aging Well offers a radically simple program to reverse the symptoms we reflexively call “normal aging.” They include feeling achy\, stiff\, sluggish\, weak\, and vulnerable to chronic illness. Dr. Lipman’s approach improves both our life span and\, more importantly\, our health span – our quality of life and how we feel. \nBuilt on a series of lifestyle changes that energize the body and build and strengthen its immune system\, The New Rules of Aging Well is based on ancient wisdom backed up by science: Eat less and practice intermittent fasting. Do 20 minutes a day of something meditative. Switch to gentler workouts\, but move as much as possible. Unlock the incredible power of mushrooms. Grow your tribe. Walk barefoot when you can. \nThe result: a rejuvenated you that looks great and feels healthy\, happy\, sexy\, agile\, and strong. \nJoin Matt and Danielle in this fascinating discussion that will help you grow professionally and personally! \nAt The Aligned Center\, our model for Aligned Living is inspired by a Four Quadrant framework used in Ken Wilber’s Integral philosophy that represents four dimensions of our experience–individual inner and outer experience\, and collective inner and outer experience. Our Four Quadrant model includes Mind-Body Awareness\, Work & Wealth Abundance\, Heartfelt Community and Knowledge of Systems. \nAligned Living Conversations shed light on the possibilities and practices for living fully into all dimensions of our lives. With our world in the midst of seismic shifts\, Aligned Living allows us to foster positive change for ourselves\, our families and the world. \nThis conversation sits in the quadrant of Mind-Body Awareness. We invite you to join us. \nThis conversation takes place on Zoom. Please sign up in advance. \nDate: December 16th\, 2021 \nTime: 7:00 to 8:30 pm ET  \n*This event is now on Zoom only.* \nCost: $0/$20/$50 \n

SUMMARY:Leading Without Easy Answers with Doug Sundheim
DESCRIPTION:Build momentum for your big idea. \nWe have had a lot of uncertainty in the last 18 months\, from Covid to inflation to political polarization. Yet it is the ability to move forward in the face of uncertainty that allows for success. In fact\, this course can teach you how to harness the power of uncertainty for yourself. \n \nThis course will allow you to build momentum for your big idea\, through: \n\nUnderstanding how to take smart risks in uncertain times\nGetting clear on your objectives and goals\nWhat it means to execute your idea\nWorking with polarity (doubting yourself vs trusting yourself\, needing to move fast vs moving slow enough to be thorough\, the need for stability vs the need for dynamism\, and the creative tension between taking risks and seeking safety)\nBringing a passion project to life\n\nThis course will explore how you can fine-tune and sharpen your skills in a world that seems to be in a near-constant state of uncertainty. You’ll bring a specific idea\, project\, or company challenge you’re trying to overcome and advance\, and dig in with Doug and the rest of the group. Classes are highly interactive workshops with a talk\, presentation of a new skill set\, sharing with others\, and individualized coaching with Doug. \nTake this class if: \n\nYou have led well in the past but are finding the current state of the world hard to navigate\nYou need a better understanding of how to lead\nYou’re launching something and want to be as prepared as possible\nYou are managing others and want to feel more confidence in your skills\nYou have been successful as a leader in the past but have plateaued in your skills\n\nWe’ll explore the four ways you can lead without an easy answer. \nWeek 1: Get clear \nThis first class is foundational. We’ll get clear on what you’re doing and why\, your directional vision\, and your underlying values. We’ll look at your values driving you\, and how to keep them from getting static. Clarity comes from seeing your ideas in a dynamic way\, not a static goal line to be crossed. \nWeek 2: Get aligned  \nAlignment builds on clarity. From here\, we’ll talk about the reality that we can’t always get everyone aligned with our vision\, and what we can do about it. Alignment might not mean that everyone agrees with the path ahead\, but it does mean that everyone is on-board with moving in that direction. In this week’s class\, we’ll talk about how to do check-ins and establish open dialog that allows convergence around your idea and helps inspire others to follow your lead\, even if they’re not totally sold on the direction. \nWeek 3: Get moving  \nMoving means knowing all the moving parts of what’s to come. Movement requires the plan be implemented in a way that some are doing work\, some are overseeing it\, and everyone is being held accountable to delivering on their end of the task. We learn to evolve as we move. There’s a dynamism in moving and we’ll learn\, evolve\, and change as we go.  \nWeek 4: Get better  \nHere we stop and look at the big picture. If you’re an operator\, the leader\, what are you doing to personally grow? How are you helping the team excel better? Doing the right kind of research\, which we’ll explore\, is one of the foundational practices in getting better. We will look at the conditions for a highly effective team and see how yours is stacking up. We’ll analyze your approach to personal development and see if it will help you better lead. The idea here is that leaders learn to sharpen their own saws\, not other people’s\, to inspire growth and innovation from everyone on the team. In other words\, we lead by example. \nThe course will be by Zoom\, and will be every two weeks on Wednesday nights from 7-9 pm EST\, starting October 20th\, 2021. \nDates: October 20\, November 3\, November 17\, December 1 \nTime: 7 – 9:00 PM EST \nCost: $150 for the 4-part series \n

SUMMARY:One-Day Meditation Workshop: Learn to Meditate or Deepen your Practice
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this special one-day program designed for beginning and aspiring meditators\, as well as people who want to deepen their meditation practice. The workshop will include talks\, practice sessions\, interviews\, and guided meditations that support building a daily practice with compassion and openness. This workshop is presented by the Westchester Meditation Center (WMC) and led by one of WMC’s three senior teachers\, Derek Kolleeny. \nWMC is dedicated to diversity\, equity\, inclusion\, and fostering belonging for all. Everyone is invited. Differences and unique perspectives are embraced. \nThe meditation technique taught in this workshop was developed by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche (1939-87)\, a Tibetan Buddhist meditation teacher who offered a uniquely different form from other forms of meditation and in many ways contrary to the usual notions about meditation. His view was that “meditation is a process of working through our self-deception.” Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche was a highly accomplished meditation master\, scholar\, translator\, poet\, and artist. He taught extensively in North America during the last seventeen years of his life and authored dozens of books based on hundreds of talks given on a broad array of topics. Many people of many generations have found his guidance inspiring to their daily lives and meditation practice. \nIf you have any questions\, please email westchestermeditationcenter@gmail.com. \nDate: SATURDAY\, November 20\, 2021 \nTime: 10:00 am ET until 5:00 pm ET (Lunch provided from 1-2 pm) \nLocation: The Aligned Center\, 1 Bridge Street\, Foundry Building\, Suite 64\, Irvington\, NY 10533 \nSuggested Donation to Westchester Meditation Center: $20* (includes lunch) \n*WMC maintains a policy of making our programs affordable to all. Those with limited income please offer what you can afford. \nSpace is limited; COVID-19 vaccination and registration are required. \nRegister here. \n

SUMMARY:Writing Workshop: Visionary Knowing & Mythic Imagination in Writing and in Life
DESCRIPTION:The business of stories is waking up. ~ Dr. Martin Shaw \nWe are living in a time of unprecedented change when the stories we have assumed to be true about identity\, what has value and whose story matters are undergoing radical revision. \nOur words matter. The stories we tell ourselves and each other matter. And each of us has a role to play shaping the evolving narrative of our times. \nBut to do so we need to find wisdom in unexpected places and learn to see what has perviously been unseen. \nOur own visionary knowing and mythic imagination offer volumes of understanding in a flash of insight\, though it may be difficult to describe. We are left to discern dream-like symbols\, savor newfound awareness and wonder at these leaps in consciousness. \nSo when it comes to the liminal and the literary\, how do we make sense of these mysterious moments? And how do we translate the ineffable into writing? \nJoin award-winning author Kristin Kaye to explore liminality in our lives and on the page. \nLiterature that includes so-called ‘fantastic’ experience tends to fall into a range of fiction sub-genres\, from Sci-Fi and Fantasy on one end to Magical Realism on the other. Where Sci-Fi and Fantasy create entirely new worlds\, Magical Realism is largely based in the mundane with elements that blur the lines of reality. \nBut are the elements ‘magical?’ Or are they ‘real? The answer is different depending on culturally accepted definitions of what constitutes ‘reality.’ As a writer this becomes an interesting question when considering how to write varieties of experience. \nThis writing workshop offers: \n\nmeditation to quiet the mind to see old stories with new eyes\ntools and practices to explore liminality\nwriting time with simple exercises to get the flow going\nreading your pages if you are so inspired\nframeworks for translating hard-to-express experiences into powerful scenes and stories\n\nWriters of all ages and skill levels welcome. The only prerequisite is curiosity and a desire to share your insights and stories with others. \nABOUT YOUR HOST: Kristin Kaye holds an MFA in Creative Writing and is an award-winning author\, ghostwriter and book coach. Books include her novel TREE DREAMS (Winner 2018 Int’l Book Awards\, ‘A superbly written tale filled with realistic\, engaging and quirky characters.’ ~ Kirkus Reviews) ) and her memoir IRON MAIDENS: The Celebration of the Most Awesome Female Muscle in the World (Finalist 2006 Oregon Book Awards\, One of 5 Books for Women Who Resist Easy Definition ~ Utne). Kristin has taught workshops at schools\, colleges and environmental organizations across the US.
