SUMMARY:Online: Necessary Fervour - The Zeal of Relationship
DESCRIPTION:EVENT DESCRIPTION\nThis online Insight Dialogue meditation workshop invites us to explore the sources of our energy and commitment to the Buddhist path. Insight Dialogue is an interpersonal meditation practice that brings together meditation\, the Buddha’s teachings\, and human relatedness to support insight. \nWe often think of relationships contributing to our spiritual path through love\, compassion\, and the soothing of friendship. All of this is true. But relationships can also be a necessary source of zeal\, especially for those who have rejected religion as too emotional\, too non-rational\, or politically and socially unworkable. \nThe Buddha was intense in his commitment to awakening. He urged his followers to intensity.  He knew the purpose of the path and what it takes to break through the sludge of conditioning. An arms-length approach won’t suffice. Many have turned away from religion and its profound dangers of magical thinking\, blind faith\, and bigotry. But we still need the commitment and energy usually provided by religious belief. \nThis all-in attitude has an emotional basis\, what some might call heart\, that brings commitment and energy. In our time together we’ll explore how relational practice can reconnect us with the wholesome elements of religious emotion yet still allow uncompromising existential inquiry\, rational inquiry\, and a profound and ripened common sense. \nThrough Dhamma reflection and guidance\, relational and silent meditation\, and an opportunity for discussion\, we’ll explore: \n\nWhat gives you energy for this path?\nCan we be emotionally committed without being dogmatic?\nHow does practicing with others ignite what practicing alone cannot?\n\nIn our time together we will explore the experience of relational contact as a source of zeal and coolness – samvega and pasada – on our Buddhist path\, even for those who feel secular in orientation. In a world torn apart by root relational fracture\, we need this power at our back. \nThe workshop is suitable for all levels of experience. \n  \nTEACHER SUPPORT AND EVENT PRICES\nEvents at London Insight are offered in a spirit of generosity. The price you pay goes towards the running of the event but does not include any payment to the teachers for their teaching. Instead our teachers rely on the generosity of participants for their livelihood. Click here for more information on the system of Dana. \n  \nBOOKING FEE\nSponsor: £15 – A voluntary higher rate enabling us to offer supported rate places.\nStandard:  £12\nSupported: £6 – For those unable to afford the standard rate. \nPlease pay the sponsor rate if you can. If you are unable to afford the supported rate please let us know. We try to ensure that no one is turned away because of lack of funds\, providing places are available. \nPlease note that access details will be sent via email a few days before the event or on the day of the event for late bookings.

SUMMARY:Online: Liberating Wisdom for our Times - an Insight Dialogue Retreat Day
DESCRIPTION:EVENT DESCRIPTION\nThis online Insight Dialogue (ID) retreat day will offer an opportunity to explore together how the Buddha’s teachings on the three marks of existence; impermanence\, suffering and not self can provide resource\, resilience and liberation in these times. \nSix Insight Dialogue meditation guidelines will support us in bringing kind awareness into the heart of speaking and listening\, often in pairs. \nMeditation deepens\, as we contemplate the Dharma together\, allowing experiential insight into the teachings to arise.

Awakening not only for ourselves but for each other\, our communities and the wider world. ID is a practice for our times. \nInsight Dialogue (ID) is a relational meditation practice that extends the benefits of solitary meditation into our relational lives. It is designed to help us awaken together and integrate our understanding of Dharma teachings in a direct and immediate way. \nWe meditate together\, recognising and unbinding the relational knots that cause suffering in our lives. In ID practice we engage with the Buddha’s teachings experientially\, accessing their relevance to our wider lives. \nThe day is suitable for those with meditation experience\, but prior ID practice familiarity is not required. \n  \nTEACHER SUPPORT AND EVENT PRICES\nEvents at London Insight are offered in a spirit of generosity.

SUMMARY:Online: Finding Joy and Equanimity in a Turbulent World
DESCRIPTION:EVENT DESCRIPTION\nIt appears to be increasingly difficult to find any peace and tranquillity in a world that is never ending turmoil\, societal\, political and economic. \nEarly Buddhist teachings place much emphasis on the importance of the cultivation of friendliness and compassion\, but what often gets neglected are the teachings on both joy and equanimity\, which are of equal importance. \nOut of a deep appreciation for the joys and sufferings of the world\, arises a deep sense of equanimity that neither clings to suffering or joy\, and is a balanced engagement with what we encounter in our lives – both the joys and sorrows. This day will focus on the practice of joy and equanimity. All are welcome. \n  \nTEACHER SUPPORT AND EVENT PRICES\nEvents at London Insight are offered in a spirit of generosity. The price you pay goes towards the running of the event but does not include any payment to the teachers for their teaching.

SUMMARY:In-person: This Precious Human Life - Contemplating Our Mortality
DESCRIPTION:EVENT DESCRIPTION\nWhat does it mean to live in the full awareness that we are not here forever? The Buddha’s teachings encourage us to regularly contemplate the reality of death: the practice of “maranasati\,” in the service of living an awakened life. \nReflecting wholeheartedly on this fundamental dimension of existence clarifies what is truly important\, and supports us to live with wisdom\, courage\, and an open heart. \nIn this day retreat there will be teachings and interactive exercises exploring the theme\, with time for meditation and contemplation in silence. \nSuitable for anyone with experience of silent meditation practice. \n  \nTEACHER SUPPORT AND EVENT PRICES\nEvents at London Insight are offered in a spirit of generosity. The price you pay goes towards the running of the event but does not include any payment to the teachers for their teaching.

SUMMARY:Online: The Six Sense Bases - Clarity and Wisdom
DESCRIPTION:EVENT DESCRIPTION\nIn this weekend course\, we will explore a less-taught area of the Dharma: The Six Sense Bases (the five physical senses plus the mind). \nThe Buddha pointed out how prone we are to attachment and hence dukkha around sense experience\, and yet\, to live is to be in continual contact with the sense world. \nWhat to do? Clarity and wisdom are needed\, so we will explore multiple suttas on the topic of the senses and their objects and see what we can learn. \n  \nTEACHER SUPPORT AND EVENT PRICES\nEvents at London Insight are offered in a spirit of generosity. The price you pay goes towards the running of the event but does not include any payment to the teachers for their teaching.
