The Art of Contemplative Reading in Community

Taught by Elizabeth Rovere. Contemplative reading allows our eyes to open on the inside, and for the heart to speak. This is less common in a culture that conditions us to look outside of ourselves for solutions and meaning. In this class, we look within, we listen to the text and what awakens within ourselves. We share our reflections within the group and meaning is deepened within community.

Every Weekday, 1:00 – 1:45pm ET

Take a mid-day pause to refresh your mind and re-establish your center during these uncertain times. Meditation is a powerful tool to eliminate stress, to heal the body, mind, and brain, and to enhance your personal well-being and positive relationship with the world. Join Nalanda Institute faculty as they lead Monday through Friday lunchtime meditation sessions.

This event took place in the past. (more…)

Please join Nalanda Institute founder and academic director, Joe Loizzo, MD, PhD, Core Faculty, Dr. Pilar Jennings, and Contemplative Psychotherapy Program Director Rahshaana Green for an insightful discussion on the personal and social healing benefits of Contemplative Psychotherapy. As a society we have much to gain from a dialogue between Buddhist and Western psychology, such as the integration of mindfulness, compassion, and embodiment practices with contemporary neuropsychology, psychotherapy, and social justice work. This integration provides us with a path to break free from fixed and limited views of ourselves and be in thriving relationship with everything around us. Joe, Pilar and Rahshaana will also talk about how to access these teachings in Nalanda Institute‘s Contemplative Psychotherapy Program, offered in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, starting this fall.
