Waking Up Together: Insight Dialogue
Waking Up Together — A New Thursday Gathering
Location: Balance Arts - 151 W. 30th Street, 3rd Floor, NY, NY, 10001

Each evening follows a steady rhythm: silent meditation, mindful movement, and Insight Dialogue—a relational meditation practice in pairs—followed by community reflection on a Dharma theme.
All are welcome. By donation. Click here to register in advance on a sliding scale: Suggested donation $15/$20/$30.
Nobody will be turned away for lack of funds. We welcome dana contributions of any amount that feels meaningful to you.

Hosted at NY Insight Meditation Center (115 W. 29th Street - 12th Floor, NU, NU 10001)
Join us for an evening of community, reflection, and celebration of the Community Meditation Center.

This contemplation will be moderated by CMC’s Executive Director, Jessica Mingus.
The evening will include:
Open-hearted reflections and dialogue with our panel
Small-group sharing and a collective harvest of insights
Closing connection over light refreshments as we celebrate CMC together
