Evening Events—Omega NYC

A Time for Renewal—Friday Keynotes

April 16, 2010
8:00 p.m.–10:00 p.m.
(Doors open at 7:00 p.m.)

Byron Katie
Who Would You Be Without Your Story?

Byron Katie is the creator of a simple, powerful, and practical method of self-inquiry and transformation known as The Work, which she has introduced to hundreds of thousands of people around the world. The Work has helped many people question and dissolve the painful thoughts and self-perpetuating stories that are the true cause of their suffering. In this talk, Katie's brilliant insight and fierce kindness help each of us dismantle for ourselves what once felt to be unshakable reality.

Elizabeth Lesser
The Phoenix Process

"And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."—Anaïs Nin Elizabeth Lesser, cofounder of Omega Institute and author of Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow, calls us together as a community to explore and celebrate renewal. What wants to blossom in your life this spring? What is calling for examination, expression, change? Each one of us is like the Phoenix bird ready to let go of what is holding us back and to rise from the ashes of outgrown habits and ideas.

The Gifts of Buddhist & Western Psychology

Friday, April 16, 2010
7:30 p.m.–9:30 p.m.

An Evening With Jack Kornfield, PhD, Tara Brach, PhD, and Mark Epstein, PhD

Western psychology and Eastern Buddhist psychology have become partners in one of the greatest of human quests—the exploration, understanding, healing, and awakening of the human heart and mind. In three individual talks given by Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, and Mark Epstein, and then in a group question-and-answer session, we explore Eastern and Western psychology—how they differ and how they are similar—and how one can inform the other to awaken our unlimited capacities for happiness.
