(Insight Meditation Society - Retreat Center) Reflections from Oren on taking the practice home (excerpt of closing session).

Oren Jay Sofer: Taking the Practice Home (Closing Reflections)

Developing a clear understanding of the teachings and learning to fully inhabit the body have been core parts of my Dhamma practice.  These areas, as well a strong emphasis on the heart, inform and shape my teaching. The few years I spent training as an Anagarika in the Thai Forest monasteries broadened my understanding of the Buddha's teachings and instilled a profound respect for the Bhikkhu and Bhikkhuni Sangha.  All along the way, I've been particularly interested in how other modalities like Nonviolent Communication and Somatics can support our growth in awakening.
