In-Person NYC and Online
Each sunrise brings a new opportunity—a fresh start, a chance to see beauty in the ordinary, and a moment to define ourselves through our actions. By embracing this daily renewal with mindfulness, we can cultivate joy and presence in our lives.
Join Donald Fleck and Michelle Morrison for a guided meditation workshop designed for both beginners and experienced meditators. Through practical techniques, you’ll learn to carry the wisdom in the sunrise with you, deepening your connection to life’s simple yet profound beauty.
For experienced and beginning meditators. Drawing on the wisdom of Jon Kabat-Zinn, Tara Brach, Jack Kornfield, Thich Nhat Hanh and Zindel Segal.
Find Joy in the Ordinary
…Suzanne B. O’Brien, a former hospice nurse and author of “The Good Death: A Guide for Supporting Your Loved One Through the End of Life,” told me that many dying patients look back with longing on the more mundane parts of their routines, like walking their dogs or making pancakes on a Saturday morning.
“An easy way to remind yourself to be grateful for those everyday moments,” O’Brien added, is to try shifting your perspective: “Instead of telling myself, ‘I have to go to the gym,’ I’ll say, ‘I get to go to the gym,’” O’Brien said. “I stopped saying, ‘Oh, I have to go to the grocery store,’ and say, ‘I get to go to the grocery store.’”
