I’m excited to be part of New York Insight’s 31 Days of Practice, starting August 1st!

This month-long online program brings together a group of experienced meditation teachers—including Joseph Goldstein, JoAnna Hardy, Mark Epstein, and many others—for a shared commitment to daily practice and inspiration.

Each day in August, you’ll receive a video practice in your inbox from one of the teachers—short, accessible teachings to help sustain your meditation practice throughout the month. I will be sharing a practice on allowing our heart to be touched by love.

It’s a beautiful opportunity to stay connected to practice, learn from a diverse group of teachers, and feel supported—whether you’re new to mindfulness or a long-time practitioner. It is also a way to support New York Insight Meditation Center.
