Sharon will be speaking on the topic of technology and the roll it plays in our practice.
We live in a time when meditation and mindfulness are becoming widespread in individual lives and institutions, teaching us tools for tapping into our capacity for authentic presence, stronger relationships, fulfilling work, and increased resilience and well-being.
This immersion provides a special opportunity for those who are interested in or currently using mindfulness in professional settings to dive into practice and share space with one of the pioneers who brought these practices to the United States, Sharon Salzberg. Sharon is one of America’s most well-known Buddhist meditation teachers and authors, and this week she is joined by Judson Brewer, MD, PhD, whose insight into the scientific background of these practices will inspire you with astounding evidence-based information highlighting the profound effects of mindfulness.
Reset your nervous system, replenish your energy levels, soothe your heart, sharpen your mind, and nourish your body with a week dedicated to your self-care on all levels. Substantiate your experiential knowledge of the benefits of mindfulness with cutting-edge scientific discoveries. Expand your knowledge of the MBSR curriculum with a deeper understanding of its philosophy and practices.
You will experience new levels of self-awareness, happiness, and connection as you learn:
Experience the sweetness and ease of daily formal meditation practice (both insight and loving-kindness), meetings with the teachers, talks, guidance, and extended periods of silence. Gain confidence in your capacity to share mindfulness in your own workplace or community. Return home feeling rejuvenated, re-inspired, and recommitted to setting time aside each day for silence.

Fear is made up of many emotions. One that seems to play a large role for me is my level of confidence. Take for example, skiing (I went today with my family, so this is fresh in my mind). When I am Read More
I try to get chores and household tasks done as quickly as possible. I guess scrubbing dishes keeps me from more exciting activities that I can do… even though I will probably not be doing anything much more exciting in Read More
I definitely do not need much prompting to recognize the achiness and stiffness my body feels from shoveling snow today from Winter Storm Niko. Immediately I lament how out of shape I have become. Perhaps my age is catching up and it is all Read More
For the past while, my partner and I have found ourselves in a living space that was, for one reason or another, wanting in private space. This works well when we are frequently out and about in the world, as Read More
I’m feeling excited to be participating in and blogging for the challenge this year. This will be my third year for both. It’s also the third year of my Just Rolling with It journey. Just Rolling with It is my personal Read More
Today’s practice was so important for me. I appreciated getting back to the basics of focusing on my breath. This practice allowed me to regain my attention to what was important right here and now and let distractions fall away Read More
