SUMMARY:Dharma of Diet
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to food\, diet\, nutrition\, and feeling at home in our bodies\, most people struggle to establish a positive relationship. At best\, we may call a truce predicated on the right ratio of calories to cardio. At worst\, we don’t know what to eat\, feel confused about nutrition\, and can no longer tell whether we are hungry or full. Walking into the market or going out to eat with friends can feel threatening. \nWe think that if we finally find the right “diet” something magical will happen: We will feel lovable and happy and discover lasting well being. To this end\, we restrict calories or food groups\, mete out treats and punishments\, get down on ourselves for any infractions\, and basically hope that the next diet will finally fix us. \nWhat ever happened to feeling alive in our bodies? To taking pleasure in taste? To feeling genuinely nourished?\nSusan Piver will host this four week evening e-Course with the founder of Eat to Love\, nutritionist and certified Intuitive Eating counselor (and good pal)\, Jenna Hollenstein. Together\, we will spend four weeks examining our relationship to food and body image to reduce the fear and confusion we have about this most basic function: eating. \nJenna is a fantastic guide who is incredibly well educated in the latest research about nutrition and diet\, but takes a super sensible and realistic view about how we feed ourselves and the meaning we attribute to what and how we eat. In our initial conversations about this program\, I came up with the phrase “magical eating” to describe how many of us approach food–that if we can just get it right\, we will look and feel perfect. What we may ignore in the quest for the “right” diet is the beauty of food as nourishment and joy. \nPlease note: THIS IS NOT A DIET OR NUTRITION PLAN. Although Jenna has distinct ideas about how to eat for health\, we will not be telling you to cut out gluten or eliminate sugar. I mean\, you can if you want\, but this program is about first exploring your relationship to food\, nutrition\, and your body. Through establishing a relationship of self-compassion and trust\, it is much easier to make the right changes for the right reasons with confidence and ease. \nIn meditation\, we make friends with our minds by noticing what we think and feel. In “The Dharma of Diet\,” our intention is to help you make friends with food by noticing how you relate to it. Through mindfulness meditation and other awareness exercises\, Jenna and Susan will support you to recover the delight of eating.\n \nFree for Open Heart Project Sangha members. Click here to join the Sangha and participate in this and other programs for free)\n \nAll sessions will be recorded and a link made available within 24 hours of the live class. Materials will be accessible for 120 days from registration.\n \nRegister\n \nQuestions? Please email Michele \n\nCurriculum \nWeek One: Relax  \nIntroduction to mindfulness meditation\nMindfulness meditation instruction\nWhat meditation can teach us about eating\nRecovering familiarity with hunger and fullness\nQ&A \nWeek Two: See Where You Are  \nWorking with emotions mindfully\nGetting to know various forms of hunger\, especially heart hunger\nCultivating loving kindness toward yourself\nQ&A \nWeek Three: Be Where You Are \nEstablishing confidence: 5 steps to take\nMeeting the threat of deprivation with loving kindness\nEating for satisfaction by developing an unhurried\, sense-based relationship to food.\nQ&A \nWeek Four: Eat to Love \nMeditation in motion: bringing the mind of meditation into your life\nEmbracing our humanness\nBody acceptance and respect\nWhere to go for further support\nQ&A \n\nFAQS \nI have an eating disorder—can this program help me? \nThis course might not be appropriate for some people with an eating disorder who need to go through a period of recovery before they are able to reconnect with the body’s signals of hunger\, fullness\, and satisfaction. And because it is a group course\, we are not able to address each individual’s specific needs\, which is essential in eating disorder recovery. If you are being treated for an eating disorder or any other psychological condition (or should be)\, you must check with your healthcare provider(s) before enrolling in this program. If you aren’t sure if this course is appropriate for you\, contact Jenna directly at jenna@eat2love.com and we can discuss. \nI can’t make some (or all) of the classes because I am in a different time zone/have to work/will be too tired (and so on). Can I still benefit from the class?  \nYes. All sessions will be recorded and a link sent out to all participants within 24 hours of the class. You will have a chance to send in questions you’d like Susan or Jenna to cover in the next class. \nI may not be able to keep up with the class due to work\, travel\, or family reasons. If I miss a week will the material be accessible for a while? \nYes. The material will be posted for 120 days from your registration date so you will be able to visit\, and revisit\, the material as often as you like. \nI am interested in meditation\, but I am NOT interested in religion. Will the class require me to learn any doctrine or accept particular beliefs? \nAbsolutely not. Doctrine and beliefs are an obstacle to meditation. You can benefit from the practice if you are Christian\, Hindu\, Pagan\, atheist\, and so on and on. There is no conflict. \nI want to take this class but the timing is not good for me. Will Susan and Jenna be offering it again? \nThey may\, although at this time there is no plan to do so. \nI’ve never taken an online class. Do I need any special equipment or software? \nNo. The class will be held using the Zoom meeting platform. You will receive a link\, and instructions\, for each class the day before the class.  There will be an opportunity to ask questions during each class via a chat window.  All you need is your computer and an internet connection and you may need to download an app prior to joining your first session.  This only takes about 60 seconds but please complete this step prior to the class start time. \n\nMeet The Instructors \nJenna Hollenstein is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and a Certified Dietitian Nutritionist (CDN) in New York State with a Bachelors degree in Nutrition from Penn State\, a Masters degree in Nutrition from Tufts University. She is a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and the author of Understanding Dietary Supplements\, a handy guide to the evaluation and use of vitamins\, minerals\, herbs\, and botanicals for both consumers and clinicians\, and more recently the memoir Drinking to Distraction. \nBuddhist meditation teacher Susan Piver is the New York Times best selling author of nine books. She is founder of the Open Heart Project\, an international online mindfulness community with close to 15000 members worldwide. Her new book\, “Start Here Now\,” was just published.

SUMMARY:Mindful Life Toolbox
DESCRIPTION:A 35-day immersive master class with mindfulness teacher Susan Piver and organizing expert Andrew Mellen\nI’m very excited to announce the return of this 35-day online program that will teach you a management system for your responsibilities\, objectives\, and even your stuff. Instead of ending each day wondering\, “what just happened?” or “where did I put my keys/phone/dreams?” (as I often do)\, you will know exactly what happened because you planned it that way. I am super excited about this. I did the program last year and we can honestly say that\, one year on\, I am still reaping the benefits of less clutter in my home\, inbox\, mind\, and daily life. – Susan Piver \nTo attain these benefits you need two things: mindfulness and knowledge. Susan will supply the former and Andrew\, the latter. \nAndrew Mellen and Susan Piver have developed a unique process for bringing personal organization and mindfulness together to solve a problem that can seem beyond solving: managing the extraordinary amount of information\, details\, and time drains that stand between us and our goals and dreams. \nThis program is for you if:\n\nYou have spent countless hours devising schedules that you never stick to\nYou are constantly searching for the perfect time-management or organization tool that will stem the tide of information overload—but find that none of them work\nYou are self-employed or work at home and experience confusion about how to structure your day\nLooking at your closets\, to-do lists\, drawers\, or desktop (or all of the above) makes you anxious\nYou simply want to feel more on top of your day\, your stuff\, and your life\n\nThe Mindful Life Toolbox is an opportunity to spend a month taking stock of your responsibilities and objectives and the obstacles that stand in your way. You will learn how you spend your time and how to make the shifts you want. You will take stock of the “stuff” of your life and establish a system for managing it. At the end of this program\, you will have greater clarity and a sense of balance in your daily endeavors. \nJanuary 8 – 6:30-8:30p.m. EST: The program begins with a two-hour webinar where you will learn how to meditate\, understand the connection between mindfulness and personal organization\, and learn the goals\, objectives\, and expectations for this program. \nJanuary 9-18: You will begin to apply the lessons of this program immediately. You will receive a detailed plan for gradually introducing mediation into your day. Most important: track your time for a full 10 days. This will be explained in detail\, including suggested apps if you want to track via your mobile device\, on January 8. \nJanuary 18-29: Continue to meditate and simply observe the way you spend your time\, making special note of obstacles\, pitfalls\, and challenges. Don’t implement anything drastic\, just notice. \nJanuary 30 – 10a.m.-5:30p.m. EST and\nJanuary 31 – 10a.m.-1:15p.m. EST: This process culminates with a weekend workshop intensive. Armed with data (and a regular meditation practice)\, you will take stock of your environment and objectives and learn how to bring it all together into a manageable system. \nFebruary 13 – 10 a.m.-12:00p.m. EST: Two weeks later\, we will reconvene for a 75-minute afternoon gathering to check in and address any questions or concerns. \nSupplies:\nA calendar\nA notebook\nA pen/pencil\nInternet access \nFor a detailed schedule\, click here \nLimited to 100 people \nEarly Bird Price: $198 until December 22nd \nBird Price: $243 until January 8th \nLate Bird: $270 on January 8th\n* all amounts USD \nOpen Heart Project Sangha members will receive four additional checklists not available on Andrew’s website and being shared with us exclusively. \nMaterials are made available for 120 days from registration date. \nQuestions? Please email Michele \nRegister\nMore about Andrew\n \nBest-selling Author of “Unstuff Your Life! Kick the Clutter Habit and Completely Organize Your Life for Good” \nAndrew’s humor\, honesty\, tough love and foolproof strategies have won fans and followers from Fortune 500 CEOs\, award-winning artists\, and older adults to overwhelmed moms and dads everywhere. He’s maintained a private practice for over 18 years\, as well as leading workshops and speaking worldwide on stuff\, sustainability  and simplifying your life. \nAs a sought-after expert on organizing and productivity\, Andrew is often called “The Most Organized Man in America”.  Here are just a few of the places he’s appeared: Tricycle\, Real Simple\, This Old House\, The New York Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, The Nate Berkus Show\, Oprah Magazine\, Martha Stewart Living Today\, Ladies’ Home Journal\, Family Circle\, GQ\, Women’s Day\, HGTV and NPR\, along with many others. \nHis private clients range from American Express\, Goldman Sachs and the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the U.S. Departments of Education and Homeland Security. \nA long-time meditation practitioner\, he often teaches on the intersection of organizing and spirituality at venues including Omega Institute\, San Francisco Zen Center\, Center for Spiritual Enlightenment and NY Open Center\, where he is on the faculty.

SUMMARY:Mindful New Year
DESCRIPTION:Susan Piver and Lodro Rinzler Present: \nBuilding a Mindful New Year\n6 days/6 transcendent themes/9 teachers/12 meditations\nDec 26-31\nWith Sokuzan Brown\, Joseph Mauricio\, Shastri Nick Kranz\, Adreanna Limbach\, angel Kyodo Williams\, Khenpo Gawang Rinpoche and Lodro and myself. \nFREE This is the time of year when thoughts naturally turn toward what you want to create going forward. Here is a way to navigate into the new year with a sense of balance and clarity. \nREGISTER HERE \nTogether with my friend\, writer and Buddhist teacher Lodro Rinzler\, we have invited a collection of accomplished dharma teachers to guide you through the end of one year and into another with mindfulness and awareness\, focused on the six priorities that will benefit you most as you lay the ground for what is to come. \nIn Buddhist thought\, the path to a life of joy is built on taking six actions consistently: Generosity; Discipline; Patience; Exertion; Meditation; and Wisdom. Each day of this program will focus on one of those themes. Two different dharma teachers will guide two different meditations. Sessions will be at 8:00 AM EST and 8:00 PM EST. \nLodro or I will host the morning sessions to give you an overview of that day’s transcendent action and also offer you a contemplation you can hold throughout the day to bring that action into your experience. The evening sessions\, each led by a different brilliant teacher\, will give you even deeper insight into that theme. From Zen to Vipassana to Tibetan and other Buddhist practices\, a variety of lineages are represented. It is so exciting. \nAll sessions will be live streamed and easy to access. Each 30-minute session will begin with an opening talk\, followed by a guided meditation and a brief question and answer period. (You will be able to type your questions into a chat screen.) \nYou are invited to drop into one or all sessions. Each session will be recorded and accessible until the next session begins. Together\, these wonderful teachers will help you enter 2016 with gentleness and fearlessness. \nAll you have to do is register. You will in turn receive a link to our online platform that will work for all sessions. You simply need an internet connection. \nDid we mention it was free?! \nFor the complete schedule click here. \nWe look forward to taking this journey with you! \nLove\, Susan and Lodro \nQuestions?
