In this Costa Rica retreat, we’ll alternate between dynamic movement and stillness. My co-teacher and friend Scott Davis is an integrative health and movement expert. Days will be a mix of sitting and yoga, of creative movement and play, of rest and beach-chilling, with delicious healthy meals and optional jungle and surfing excursions. Select for more.
The world is crazy. Meditation is sanity. The intention of this 2-day workshop is to empower everyone – including people not remotely interested in becoming a “teacher” – to think about and care for their own mental health and the mental health of others. Learn how to write and guide a meditation in a way that matches your experience-level and interest.
Meditation is both an exploration and a training. This popular 7-week course – now in its seventh year – features a mix of guided practice, discussion, and weekly meditation-in-action homework assignments. It is both practical and contemplative, with an honest take on both the limitations of practice, as well as its strange and beautiful transformative dimensions.
The Meditate – Celebrate – Activate retreat is unique for the way it builds on mindfulness and meditation practices, taking insights from the cushion and applying them immediately to interactive community good-times.
At the Lama Foundation mystery school, I’ll be co-facilitating this retreat for environmental activists and professors interested in the deep end of ecological engagement. With Zen Activist and scientist Kritee Kritee and political scientist Paul Wapner.
Mindfulness retreat for teens hosted by Inward Bound. I will be on staff to help reinforce the grim military atmosphere. Kidding – all doves and rainbows for these teens!
This two-day retreat at Sugar Ridge north of Toronto will be a fun exploratory romp into the cosmic – and practical! – heart of meditation practice. Inspired by my new book Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics.
In this CEC Monday night exploration, we’ll investigate happiness from two directions. Direction one will be in sitting meditation, where we’ll explore what comes between us and a naturally clear and easeful state of mind using a new meditation called “The Love Tap.” For part two, my 11-year-old godson Simon will (re)teach us how to draw like a happily absorbed and unselfconscious kid.
In this second instalment of the CEC‘s two-part series on life support structures, we begin to hone in on the domains of life and support that work for our particular temperaments. Nature, relationships, exercise, meditation, diet, healthy work – what works for you?
The first in the CEC‘s two-part series with clinical psychologist Michelle Leybman (part two here). Life just dropped us here into existence, and there doesn’t appear to be a decent user’s manual. Is it all flailing from here on in, or can we deliberately find and create intelligent support structures to help us thrive?
Join the University of Toronto’s Buddhist Psychology Student Union’s first independent conference. The audience will gain a clear understanding of what mindfulness meditation is and the positive and negative effects it may have on its practitioners.
For four Wednesdays in February, I’ll be hosting a special edition of the CEC at the Harmony Hotel in Nosara, Costa Rica. Each evening, a different guest teacher will lead us through a different healing and training modality. We’ll have a guided experience of that practice, and then we’ll explore together the practice’s effects, how it seems to work, and why it matters. Click for more info.
This 2.5 hour workshop will distill the elements of meditation. Suitable for total beginners to experienced explorers. Inspired by my new book with Dan Harris, Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics.
Jeff and the CEC welcome a special guest from BC, our friend Cary Wright: sound healer, hakomi therapist, and qi gong practitioner. Leave your rational hat at the door, activate your imagination and tune in to some good vibrations – CEC-style.
Jeff Warren and Dan Harris sit down in New York with CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
Jeff and Dan will be on the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast.
Jeff will appear with Dan Harris to discuss their new book, “Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics.”
A non-book-launch book launch for Jeff’s new book, Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics. This is also a normal CEC Monday night exploration, so there will be meditation. Check out the CEC’s new venue.
Jeff will be on the Inspire Nation Podcast, January 5th, 2018.
This charity event is for an excellent cause: all money raised will go towards bringing mindfulness to marginalized folks living with mental health challenges. My part will be a guided music, movement and “vicarious joy” meditation, where 200 people will go from lying down to hands-in-the-air mamba swaying. With eyes closed, so no one sees how beautiful and ridiculous they look.
