SUMMARY:Special Guest Oren Jay Sofer - Online
DESCRIPTION:This evening\, Napa Valley Insight Meditation will host an on-line presentation via Zoom by meditation teacher and Somatics practitioner Oren Jay Sofer. \nOren has practiced meditation in the Theravada Buddhist tradition since 1997\, beginning his studies in Bodh Gaya\, India with Anagarika Munindra and Godwin Samararatne. He is a long-time student of Joseph Goldstein\, Michele McDonald\, and Ajahn Sucitto\, and a graduate of the IMS – Spirit Rock Vipasanna Teacher Training. Oren is also author of the recently released book Say What You Mean: A Mindful Approach to Nonviolent Communication\, a practical guidebook for having more effective\, satisfying conversations. \nOren first became interested in contemplative practice in high school\, when he picked up a little book called The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff. He went on to complete a degree in Comparative Religion from Columbia University\, and later spent two and a half years of living as an Anagarika (renunciate) at branch monasteries in the Ajahn Chah Thai Forest lineage. Today\, his teaching combines classical Buddhist training with the accessible language of secular mindfulness. \nTo receive a link to this meeting\, please subscribe to our newsletter by going to https://www.napainsight.org/contact/newsletter/. \nThe zoom meeting link will be sent out to all subscribers approximately two days prior to this event.
