New York Insight Center Day Long with Kaira Jewel Lingo
The wisdom available at New York Insight is grounded in the Pali Canon, the oldest extant record of the Buddha’s original teachings. For over 2,000 years, the Pali Canon has provided the foundation for Theravada Buddhist practice. NYI carries the heritage of the Theravada Buddhist tradition, providing New Yorkers a unique and modern opportunity to connect with the wisdom of these teachings to benefit their everyday lives.
Anchored in the Fellowship’s four core pillars—contemplative wisdom, the science of interconnection, generative action, and collective healing—this convening is a space to deepen understanding, share field-leading innovations, and cultivate new possibilities for social transformation.

Strength to Love: Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Embodying Insight in Action, held at the Insight Meditation Society Retreat Center with Nakawe Cuebas and Kaira Jewel Lingo. And Mindful Movement Instructor, Juan Sosa
The teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. guide us to see the urgency of these times and not drown in fear, hatred, or anxiety. Instead, Dr. King’s example calls on us to stand tall in his fierce compassion with the “Strength to Love” (the title of Dr. King’s 1963 book, written largely behind bars) and move forward to heal our lives, communities, and planet.

“We all go through times when it feels like the ground is being pulled out from under us. What we relied on as steady and solid may change or even appear to vanish. In this era of global disruption, threats to our individual, social, and planetary safety abound, and at times life can feel overwhelming. Not only are loss and separation painful, but even positive changes can cause great stress.”
