"The teachings of all the world's great wisdom traditions remind us that we have both an ordinary and a extraordinary identity, a personal and a universal nature, a self that is anchored in both the relative world of conditioned appearances, and also within the absolute dimension that is the mysterious, imperceptible source or ground of being that gives rise to all things and all beings. Interestingly, an analogue of this view is alluded to by our colleagues in modern cosmology and physics, who often remind us that only 4 percent of the universe is measurable, and that the remaining 96 percent exists as "dark energy" and "dark matter" which are both nearly mythical in their undefinability."

Wisdom at Work's 2012 Summer Institute
EXPLORING THE SEAMLESS INTEGRATION
OF OUR INNER WORK AND OUR WORK IN THE WORLD An Intensive Introduction to and Immersion in the Essential Guiding Principles and Practices of Joel and Michelle Levey's Wisdom Teaching August 16-19, 2012 Seattle, Washington  We have posted a complete description of this program along with some heartwarming photos from at: http://www.wisdomatwork.com/WisdomAtWork/LearningLab2012.html
Over the years we have received numerous requests from sincere friends, colleagues, and students to have an opportunity to study more closely with us in an in-depth way for both personal development and professional training. In response to these repeated requests, we sense that the time is ripe and we are moved to offer a most special Summer Learning Laboratory with us at our home in Seattle this August. In order to optimize the learning opportunity, we are scheduling this program just prior to our 5-day retreat on Orcas Island - August 21-26. This timing will provide interested participants with the option of extending the Learning Lab into the Retreat for additional deepening, reflection, practice, and integration. |

Meditation and Medicine:
Exploring the Vital Role of Contemplative Disciplines
in MindBody Medicine & the Healing Arts
with Joel & Michelle Levey This program distills essential insights from decades of research and experience developed in teaching Meditation and Medicine programs to thousands of physicians, faculty, nurses, students, and other health caring professionals around the globe. Drawing inspiration from diverse contemplative traditions, participants will explore practices from five categories of meditation - Concentration, Mindfulness, Reflective, Creative, and Heart-Centered - each of which have profoundly practical benefits for both clinicians and patients. Understanding a variety of practices that are easy to learn and teach helps to expand the range of options of what to recommend to patients, and also provides clinicians with a wealth of material and insights to improve their own self-care, well-being, clinical performance, and interpersonal relationships while actively engaged in helping others.
