This talk offers a clear, steady map for how human beings actually adapt to difficult experiences, including loss, change, and disruption, without forcing ourselves to “get over” anything.

We’ll explore how the mind learns from experience, why it takes time to update its expectations, and how sharing life with others quietly teaches the nervous system that difficulty is survivable, meaningful, and universal. Drawing on neuroscience, everyday life examples, and Buddhist psychology, this talk reframes grief and change not as problems to solve, but as processes the mind already knows how to complete.

We live much of our lives preparing for what hasn’t happened yet. In this talk we’ll look at how the brain reuses memories to construct every experience in life, and why this often leads to stress and rumination, and how attention can be trained to stay anchored in what is actually happening rather than what we fear will happen. The talk concludes with a guided meditation which will provide time to practice the tools.

105 Grand St Brooklyn
Start the new year a little more grounded, a little more awake, and a lot more connected. 🧘‍♂️✨ Join us at Dharma Punx New York for a New Year’s Day Buddhist gathering at 105 Grand Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, from 5:00–6:15pm. We’ll share a brief, down-to-earth intention-setting talk, settle into a guided meditation, and spend some time together in community—no experience necessary, no pressure to be anything other than human. All are welcome, and the gathering is supported by donation only. Come as you are, start the year with a pause.

The Middle Path, as taught by the Buddha, encourages balance, wisdom, and adaptability—especially when it comes to solving the intractable dilemmas and no win decisions of our life:
• Should I stay in this job / relationship / city or leave?
• Choosing between telling a friend something they don't want to hear and risk their anger, or withholding important information?
• indulging in social media versus taking time off it and experiencing FOMO and/or loneliness?

By exploring both/and thinking, we can move beyond simplistic either/ or dilemmas and develop a more inclusive way to solve life’s complexities. This approach fosters our capacity to hold diverse perspectives simultaneously, paving the way for transformative insights.

Tonight’s talk will cover the latest theory of the function that dreams play in our lives, the advantages they bring that differ remarkably from logical, sequential rule bound thought and how our spiritual practice can harness many of the same profound insights and explorations the fantasies of sleep provide.

The enjoyment derived from Halloween—embracing scary or sexually transgressive costumes and haunted houses—stems from the brain’s excitement at breaking its predictive models, exploring what lies beyond our fears and taboos, and the cognitive stimulation of adopting new mental models and roles.
