As we reflect on the past year and usher in a new one, we'd like to share some words from Jack Kornfield, co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society:

“One beautiful way to honor the turning of the seasons and illuminate the heart in the darkest time of the year (in the north) is to set a sacred intention for the new year. This is not a New Year’s resolution but an inner knowing that comes when you sit quietly and ask what is my highest intention for the year ahead. Ask, listen and then write it down. It could be as simple as… ‘I vow to be kind.’ Or ‘I will act in ways that honor the earth.’”

Vermont Insight welcomes experienced, returning, and new meditators alike into our community. Those who are beginning a meditation practice may find our resources for newcomers supportive: vermontinsight.org/newcomers

We hope to sit with you in the new year! Thank you for being part of our sangha.
