SUMMARY:Cognitively-Based Compassion Training
DESCRIPTION:Are you a compassionate person?\nHow do you know you are?\nAre you aware of how you behave when you’re feeling compassion?\nAre those behaviors interpreted the way you want them to be by others? \nHow can we strengthen our compassion for self and others\, even others who may be adversaries? \nCompassion includes at least two key components: recognition of suffering and a motivation to help. This requires we have affection for others and an awareness of their distress. We desire that someone be free from suffering. Our compassion has an affective or feeling component and a cognitive component that includes the awareness of others’ difficulties. \nResearch with CBCT shows that compassion can improve our affect\, alleviate stress\, decrease depression\, and increase self-acceptance. Biologically\, compassion is linked to lower cortisol levels and reduced inflammation processes in the body. It has helped cancer patients experience less fear and more hope. \nAbout the teacher: Miles brings a decade of intensive study (over 10\,000 hours) in a range of mind-body disciplines to bear on his work as a meditation teacher and therapist. He leads meditation retreats and programs\, coaches individuals one-on-one\, is a core member of a team building a meditation app (Madrona Meditation)\, and is the co-founder of Dharma Gates (a non-profit that connects young people to meditation practice). Much of his training was with Buddhist teachers including two years of solitary retreat (under the guidance of B. Alan Wallace\, Ph.D. and Roshi Joan Halifax\, Ph.D.)\, and three years at various monasteries and practice centers in the United States and Asia. Miles also completed a 1\,600 hour Am.SAT Alexander Technique teacher training and is certified to teach Emory’s Cognitively Based Compassion Training course (CBCT)\, and Stanford’s Compassion Cultivation Training course (CCT). Miles earned a Master’s of Applied Positive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and a Master of Social Work at Columbia University. His work sits at the intersection of meditation\, trauma\, Buddhism\, psychedelics\, and positive psychology. \n  \nWe are asking for a donation of $250 for this course. Usually CBCT is more expensive\, and Miles has generously offered it to us at reduced cost. The donation will be shared by Miles and Buddhism & Mindfulness at All Souls. That said\, no-one will be turned away due to lack of funds. Your motivation to do the course is what matters most. Class size is limited. To register\, email Rebecca Izuchokwu at rebecca@allsoulsnyc.org.

We are faced with the laundry.Drawing on the experiences and insights of leaders and practitioners within the Buddhist\, Christian\, Jewish\, Hindu\, and Sufi traditions\, this book offers a uniquely intimate and honest understanding of how the modern spiritual journey unfolds—and how we can prepare our hearts for awakening. Through moving personal stories and traditional tales\, we learn how the enlightened heart navigates the real world of family relationships\, emotional pain\, earning a living\, sickness\, loss\, and death. \nAbout the author:\nJack Kornfield is an internationally renowned Buddhist teacher and meditation master\, and a cofounder of the Insight Meditation Society and of Spirit Rock Center in Northern California.

SUMMARY:Cognitively-Based Compassion Training
DESCRIPTION:Are you a compassionate person?\nHow do you know you are?\nAre you aware of how you behave when you’re feeling compassion?\nAre those behaviors interpreted the way you want them to be by others? \nHow can we strengthen our compassion for self and others\, even others who may be adversaries? \nCompassion includes at least two key components: recognition of suffering and a motivation to help. This requires we have affection for others and an awareness of their distress. We desire that someone be free from suffering. Our compassion has an affective or feeling component and a cognitive component that includes the awareness of others’ difficulties. \nResearch with CBCT shows that compassion can improve our affect\, alleviate stress\, decrease depression\, and increase self-acceptance. Biologically\, compassion is linked to lower cortisol levels and reduced inflammation processes in the body. It has helped cancer patients experience less fear and more hope. \nAbout the teacher: Miles brings a decade of intensive study (over 10\,000 hours) in a range of mind-body disciplines to bear on his work as a meditation teacher and therapist. He leads meditation retreats and programs\, coaches individuals one-on-one\, is a core member of a team building a meditation app (Madrona Meditation)\, and is the co-founder of Dharma Gates (a non-profit that connects young people to meditation practice). Much of his training was with Buddhist teachers including two years of solitary retreat (under the guidance of B. Alan Wallace\, Ph.D. and Roshi Joan Halifax\, Ph.D.)\, and three years at various monasteries and practice centers in the United States and Asia. Miles also completed a 1\,600 hour Am.SAT Alexander Technique teacher training and is certified to teach Emory’s Cognitively Based Compassion Training course (CBCT)\, and Stanford’s Compassion Cultivation Training course (CCT). Miles earned a Master’s of Applied Positive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and a Master of Social Work at Columbia University. His work sits at the intersection of meditation\, trauma\, Buddhism\, psychedelics\, and positive psychology. \n  \nWe are asking for a donation of $250 for this course. Usually CBCT is more expensive\, and Miles has generously offered it to us at reduced cost. The donation will be shared by Miles and Buddhism & Mindfulness at All Souls. That said\, no-one will be turned away due to lack of funds. Your motivation to do the course is what matters most. Class size is limited. To register\, email Rebecca Izuchokwu at rebecca@allsoulsnyc.org.

SUMMARY:Transforming Our Suffering
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our weekly Buddhism & Mindfulness program\, Transforming Our Suffering. This group meets every Thursday at 10 am and is led by Pamela Patton\, Director of Congregational Ministries. \nWe are currently reading and discussing After the Ecstasy\, the Laundry: How the Heart Grows Wise on the Spiritual Path by Jack Kornfield.. You are most welcome to attend whether or not you’ve done the reading. We start with a short meditation; Pamela summarizes the chapter; Harry Miller reflects on the teachings\, and then we have a discussion (you can choose whether you’d like to go to a breakout room or stay in the main room for a larger group conversation). Each session is standalone\, so you can drop in whenever you wish. \nZOOM LINK \nPassword: Peace \nAbout the book: \n“Enlightenment does exist\,” internationally renowned author and meditation master Jack Kornfield assures us. “Unbounded freedom and joy\, oneness with the divine . . . these experiences are more common than you know\, and not far away.” But even after achieving such realization—after the ecstasy—we are faced with the day—to-day task of translating that freedom into our imperfect lives. We are faced with the laundry.Drawing on the experiences and insights of leaders and practitioners within the Buddhist\, Christian\, Jewish\, Hindu\, and Sufi traditions\, this book offers a uniquely intimate and honest understanding of how the modern spiritual journey unfolds—and how we can prepare our hearts for awakening. Through moving personal stories and traditional tales\, we learn how the enlightened heart navigates the real world of family relationships\, emotional pain\, earning a living\, sickness\, loss\, and death. \nAbout the author:\nJack Kornfield is an internationally renowned Buddhist teacher and meditation master\, and a cofounder of the Insight Meditation Society and of Spirit Rock Center in Northern California. A former Buddhist monk\, he holds a PhD in clinical psychology. His books include A Path with Heart\, Buddha’s Little Instruction Book\, and After the Ecstasy.
