SUMMARY:Skills Workshop - Guiding Individuals in Self-Inquiry
DESCRIPTION:(please disregard a previous announcement canceling this session; it was a calendar glitch and it is on as scheduled . Please RSVP again even if you had previously done so – our apologies for the misdirection) \n \nLed by MMTCP Mentor\, Stan Eisenstein\, this workshop introduces a number of techniques\, practices and stances that support mindfulness meditation teachers in guiding individuals in self-inquiry. Many meditation students introduced to such practices as RAIN seek extra assistance in uncovering and untangling subconscious programming that keeps them stuck. Others are looking for guidance associated with specific personal challenges. Working with individuals requires additional skills beyond those for teaching groups. Some of the topics we will explore include: grounding\, staying in the core\, attunement\, meditations as experiments\, the transmission of perspectives and frameworks\, and the power of deepening questions. \n \nThe session is from 12 – 1:30 pm ET; the zoom link is here \n \nStan Eisenstein has been a mentor for MMTCP since 2019 (cohort 2). He has been a teacher for the Insight Meditation Community of Washington since 2013. He has created and taught courses in Inviting Chronic Pain and Illness to Tea\, Self-Inquiry\, and Meditative Reparenting. Stan has guided individuals in self-inquiry since 2015. Stan had a long career as a high school physics teacher. He has a Masters in Social Work\, though he is not a licensed clinical therapist. Stan co-created and teaches Guided Embodied Inquiry with Individuals (GEII): a Course for Mindfulness Meditation Teachers. This year-long course begins January 2026. You can find more information at Stan’s website.
