Join us for Drop & Sit. A Time to Recharge and Connect.
Reinstating Zoom Drop and Sit Meetings
We’ve decided to reintroduce our Weekly Zoom Drop and Sit meetings. These virtual gatherings allow us to practice and reflect together from the comfort of our homes. They also offer an accessible way to explore how this practice enriches our lives when applied meaningfully.
Transitioning to Monthly In-Person Retreats
In response to current attendance and feedback, we will discontinue our weekly in-person meetings at Mindful Harlem and introduce a Monthly In-Person Retreat. These gatherings, taking place on the first Saturday of each month, will provide an extended opportunity for the community to deepen its practice and support one another. Additionally, the first part of these retreats will be broadcast via Zoom for those who are unable to join us in person.
Could you take a moment to slow down and reconnect? Our Drop & Sit session offers a nurturing space for meditation in various forms—sitting, walking, lying down, and gentle movement. We conclude with Insight Dialogue, where we come together to share our experiences and deepen our understanding through mutual learning.
Whether you’re joining us again or meeting us for the first time, we look forward to sharing this space with you.
Drop Regrets, Drop Resentments, Drop Worries, DROP IN!
Instructors
Edward Duncan
Executive Director • InstructorI was introduced to mindfulness and meditation many years ago and it has cultivated the landscape to come to the realization and recognize the fact that who I essentially am has nothing to do with my thoughts, feelings, sensations, and perceptions. This practice has provided me with the tools to navigate and be present with the ever-changing, and at times, treacherous terrain called life. I wish as a young teenager growing up in the Bronx, I had these tools in my toolbox to allow me to be present with all of the internal discomfort and uneasiness associated with growing up.
Adrian Bueno
Co-Founder • Board President • InstructorAdrian is the co- founder and guidance teacher of Mindful Harlem and MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction). He has been practicing Mindfulness and Insight Meditation for many years; a practice which has been a deep transformative experience for him and for the people around him.
Adrian and his family are deeply rooted in Harlem and love the diverse and wholesome community they live in. He is honored to have the opportunity to practice, learn and grow every week with the MH family. For him Meditation, Insight and Mindfulness are the means to a path towards liberation of the mind. He sees Practice, Self-Knowledge and Community as the pillars of wisdom and an awakened society; where empathy, compassion and understanding towards us and others are the components for a wholesome life.
