These individual sessions offer a quiet\, in timate space to explore your questions\, experiences\, and challenges on th e contemplative path.
One 2 One meeti ngs are not about fixing or improving yourself\, but about creating the con ditions to listen more deeply to what is already present in your life. Toge ther\, we slow down\, inquire into what is alive for you\, and allow unders tanding to unfold naturally through dialogue and reflection.
This is a space to bring what doesn’t easily fit in to group settings. Personal doubts\, transitions\, emotional patterns\, mom ents of confusion\, or simple curiosity about your own inner world. Each se ssion is shaped by your lived experience and your genuine interest in under standing yourself more clearly.
Rath er than offering answers\, these sessions invite you into a deeper relation ship with your own awareness. Over time\, this kind of inquiry can reveal n ew ways of meeting life with presence\, honesty\, and care.
If you feel drawn to explore your inner landscape in a more personal and spacious way\, these sessions are an opportunity to do so with attention\, patience\, and support

Overview
We are pleased to an
nounce Mindful Harlem’s retreat! This retreat is dedicated to exploring nat
ure\, body movement\, silence\, and community. Mindfulness is a gate to inv
estigate how the mind creates the abyss between what is and what we want. W
e don't only ask\, how is the mind created? we also inquire about how the b
ody realizes our understandings. These seasonal retreats are created to fin
d a place in nature to ponder\, relax and tap into true wellbeing. The retr
eat will include:
Yin Yoga is still\, deep\, and quiet. Rather tha n moving quickly through poses\, Yin Yoga consists of holding a few posture s for a longer period of time. A major benefit is a myofascial release - re aching the deeper\, denser\, more hidden connective tissue. In doing so\, i t is a powerful form of meditation that contemplates the mind/body connecti on and activity vs. passivity.
Accommodations
W
e will stay in a private residence. Thus\, rooms will be shared - part of t
he retreat will be getting cozy and making new friends. We will observe sil
ence as much as possible in sleeping areas\, and save socializing for the l
iving room and dining areas.
Transportation
Travel time is roughly 2.0 hours.
We can depart from New York City on Thursday check-in at 12:30 pm. We will
leave Woodstock on Sunday. If you prefer to arrive later or leave earlier\,
that is completely fine and at your discretion.
The best ways to rea
ch Woodstock are by bus or car. We can try to organize carpooling\, but dep
ending on how many and when cars are going up\, we cannot guarantee spots i
n the car. Trailways New York operates a bus from Manhattan to Woodstock 3
times a day. Tickets cost $23 - $55 and the journey takes 2 h 50 min. Alter
natively\, Metro-North Railroad (MNR) operates a train from Manhattan to Wo
odstock hourly. Tickets cost $16 - $35 and the journey takes 1 h 42 min.
Meal Plan
Food will be provided and will acc
ommodate vegetarian\, gluten-free\, and omnivore diets. There will also be
flexibility to eat out in Woodstock\, which guests will cover themselves. G
uests are welcome to bring their own food. There are grocery stores nearby
where we will pick up supplies. In the evenings\, all are welcome to indulg
e in a glass of wine or a cup of tea.

Join us on Zoom for a Cont emplative Circle\, Drop & Sit.
Time to recharge\, learn\, and connect.
Con templative Circle. Online Gathering.
Our weekly online gathering is an invitation to come together in stillness\, presence\, and thoughtful inquiry.
We begin each session with meditation\, not as an end in itself\, but as a way to settle the mind and open a space of clarity. From there\, we move into contemplation and shared reflection. This is a space to explor e the philosophical and existential questions that shape our lives\, not fr om opinion or debate\, but from direct experience and attentive listening.< /p>
Each week\, our inquiry is inspired by the Mindful Harlem newsletter sent every Friday. This reflection serves as a living starting point for the conversation\, offering a theme or quest ion for us to explore together through silence\, dialogue\, and collective insight.
At a time when there are f ew spaces to gather in this way\, this circle offers a rare opportunity to meet others interested in understanding themselves and the world more deepl y. We inquire into themes such as identity\, freedom\, suffering\, relation ship\, purpose\, and the nature of awareness\, always grounded in the simpl icity of presence.
This is not a cl ass\, a lecture\, or a performance. It is a shared exploration. A place to slow down\, to question honestly\, and to let understanding emerge naturall y through dialogue and silence.
Whe ther you are new to meditation or have been practicing for years\, you are welcome. What matters is not experience\, but sincerity and curiosity.
< p data-start="1762" data-end="1931">This gathering exists to support a way of being that is often forgotten. One rooted in clarity\, listening\, and t he willingness to look deeply at our own lives\, together.Drop Regrets\, Drop Resentments\, Drop Worries\, DROP IN!
