No registration is required. No experience is needed. Guidance on the technique of meditation is available to anyone interested or new to practice.
Our readings this spring will come from the anthology called A Beginner’s Guide to Meditation, from Shambhala Publications (2014).

This practical, accessible guide to the fundamentals of Buddhist meditation introduces you to the practice, explains how it is approached in the main schools of Buddhism, and offers advice and inspiration from Buddhism’s most renowned and effective meditation teachers, including Pema Chödrön, Thich Nhat Hanh, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, Sharon Salzberg, Norman Fischer, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, Judy Lief, and others.

Regenerative Connections™ Series (Workshop 1): The Arts, Science, and Practice of Meditation
2024-06-29 10:00 - 17:00 | The Aligned Center, 1 Bridge Street, Foundry Building Suite 64, Irvington, New York, 10533
Tara Bennett-Goleman and Daniel Goleman Present The Arts, Science, and Practice of Meditation
June 29 (One Day Workshop)
We invite you to join us as we explore ways ancient wisdom and modern psychology regenerates connections of all kinds.

Regenerating natural qualities of mind and heart can lead to a growing confidence in our inner resources. This one-day, in-person, workshop on meditation can be taken as a stand-alone session, or as the first in the Regenerative Connections™ series, which lays fertile ground for nurturing connection in relationships of all kinds – starting with ourselves and then expanding out to the interpersonal, the collective, and the natural world.
There is limited space if this is taken as a stand alone session. This meditation session is also a prerequisite for the next 2 workshops for those attending the whole series.
We will give instructions in four kinds of meditation: one-pointedness, discerning insight, mindful walking, and compassion.
Any of these methods can be used daily by those who are beginning meditation, or as a refresher for more experienced meditators, as well as an innovative lens on the expressions of meditative awareness in everyday life.
Meditation regenerates qualities that can transform negative qualities to positive ones, including greater focus, insight, equanimity, compassion, presence and resilience.

Included in the Workshop
The ways meditative arts such as Japanese flower arranging emphasize learning from symbolic teachings of nature and our inner awareness
The neuroscience of meditation and of connection, its psychological benefits and brain changes
Reflections on phase transitions in nature, in human nature – and their interconnection
Connecting to the part of the mind that can see more clearly
Tuning into the natural world in mindful walks in nearby Hudson River parks.

Robert Peng, a world-renowned Qigong Master and healer, was born and raised in Hunan, China.
At age eight, he began an intensive apprenticeship under the close guidance of the legendary monk Xiao Yao, an enlightened master known for his profound healing ability and martial arts skill. At age 15, Robert endured a 100-day water fast in a small dark room at a secluded monastery in the remote mountains of Hunan province, which initiated a radical spiritual transformation and awakened amazing healing powers.
After pursuing his training quietly while attending university in Changsha, he began to teach publicly at 29, and within five years had trained over 150,000 students all over China, Australia, and the U.S.
With his deep understanding and practice of Qigong, and with extensive life and teaching experience in the Western world, Robert has developed a unique way to teach Qigong that people from different cultures can easily understand and follow while enjoying the real essence of this ancient Chinese healing art of wisdom, love, and vitality.
Robert is the author of The Master Key: Qigong Secrets for Vitality, Love, and Wisdom, and the DVD/CD companion series, The Master Key, and The WAY of VIRTUE: Qigong Meditations to Cultivate Perfect Peace in an Imperfect World . He has been a regular presenter at the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies, Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, Esalen Institute, Integrative Health Symposium, and many other organizations and schools.
Together with Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Pema Chödrön, Robert was honored as one of Spirituality & Health magazine’s “Top 10 Spiritual Heroes of 2013” for his contribution to transform the ancient Chinese healing art of Qigong into one of today’s fastest-growing holistic practices.
