Presenter:
Date: Sunday, March 13, 2016
Time: 9:00am-1:00pm

There is a burgeoning interest in exploring what meditation is and how it might relate to Westerners who are bombarded with information and live at a frenzied pace. In this half-day program – a combination of lecture, discussion, and meditation practice – we will explore several topics central to bringing meditation into one’s life and work; 1) what mindfulness is, 2) how to deepen one’s meditative practice, and 3) how to cultivate mindfulness of ethics, emotions, and relationships.
Jeffrey B. Rubin, PhD practices psychoanalysis and psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy and teaches meditation in New York City and Bedford Hills, New York. Considered one of the leading integrators of the Western psychoanalytic and Eastern meditative traditions, he is the author of six books and has presented on psychoanalysis, psychoanalysis and Buddhism, and meditation throughout the United States and abroad.
