Dori will also give an online talk and lead meditation on Friday, July 22, from 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm PT with the same topic. No registration needed for that, you will be able to find the Zoom link for that event in the IMMC newsletter, on the IMMC website,  https://insightmeditationmc.org/my-calendar/ the week of the event, or you can send an email to  InsightMeditation.Midcol@gmail.com requesting the link.

In both events, Dori's description includes the practice of Seeing the Goodness and Gladdening the Heart-Mind to foster a spacious and grounded “inner atmosphere” for receiving whatever arises with wisdom and kindness, both in formal meditation and in daily life. Together we will attune to the Wise Effort teachings that prepare us to: Wake up wholesome mindstates when they are not arising in the mind, and to Keep wholesome mindstates alive in the mind once they have already risen.
