<h4>IN-PERSON &amp; ONLINE</h4>The Real Work: A Weekly Sit for Working StiffsThis group is for anyone who has ever felt the gap between the life they're living and the life they mean to live. We meet following a simple format: we sit in silence, each of us observing our own minds, and then we talk about whatever came up. The teaching is rooted in vipassana, or insight meditation.
