SUMMARY:Daylong Retreat: The Dance of Joy and Sorrow with Lev White and Forrest Hill
DESCRIPTION:The daylong retreat will weave together periods of silent meditation and walking meditation\, as well as group discussion and musical Dharma to explore the profound relationship between joy and sorrow in our lives. \nWe have drawn inspiration for this retreat from Kahlil Gibran’s poem On Joy and Sorrow (https://poets.org/poem/joy-and-sorrow) in which he writes “The deeper that sorrow carves into your being\, the more joy you can contain.” We’ll create space to acknowledge both personal and collective emotions. We’ll also explore how mindful awareness can help us respond with wisdom rather than reactivity\, especially in today’s challenging social and political landscape. \nTo register please go to: https://events.humanitix.com/riding-the-waves-of-joy-and-sorrow. \nPlease bring a lunch\, a beverage\, and appropriate clothing for outdoor walking meditation. Hot tea and water are provided. Chairs and cushions are available\, but you are welcome to bring your own. \nBios: \nFresh “Lev” White is a love and compassion activist.

Lev offers secular mindfulness\, and non-secular meditation in addition to Spiritual Counseling\, mentoring\, and talks on Self-Compassion in corporate\, spiritual\, or other private settings. Lev credits their ability to reach diverse audiences to his years growing up in multi-ethnic communities in New York. \nForrest Hill has been practicing Insight Meditation since 2004\, starting at the East Bay Meditation Center in Oakland CA. He is the founding member of Napa Valley Insight Meditation (NVIM) and has served as a facilitator at NVIM since its inception in 2011.

SUMMARY:BEFRIENDING MORTALITY - AWAKENING TO LIFE THROUGH MINDFULNESS OF DEATH
DESCRIPTION:CLASS SERIES: BEFRIENDING MORTALITY – AWAKENING TO LIFE THROUGH MINDFULNESS OF DEATH: Join Mike Coughlin at the Unitarian Universalist church in Napa for this immersive and interactive four part\, in-person class series that will explore Maranasati practice\, translated as Mindfulness of Death. This series will weave together both classic and contemporary approaches to leaning into\, and possibly embracing\, the essence of life’s impermanence. Each class will be held on select Thursdays in January and February from 7:00 – 8:30pm and will feature periods of meditation\, short Dharma reflections\, and time for interaction and discussion. If you are called to dig a little deeper into the essence of our human condition\, then this series is for you. Although attendance at all four sessions is encouraged it is not mandatory. This series is suitable for both experienced and beginning practitioners and will be offered on a sliding scale of $10 – $20 per class. Class dates: Jan 16th\, Jan 23rd\, Jan 30th and Feb 6th. To register\, simply email Mike at mike@napainsight.org and write\, “Please register me for Befriending Mortality.”
