December 8, 2024, 9 am – noon PT

Online Event via Zoom

Join us for a few peaceful hours of stillness meditation before the holiday season begins and 2024 comes to a close. Enjoy spacious periods of silence, gentle movement and insights about practice from Michael Lifshitz, PhD and our ITP circle. Time to refresh and renew!

At this special gathering, Michael will guide us into deep, nourishing stillness and engage in conversation about contemplative practice and our unfolding divinity.

Experience a "boundless space, or unbroken essence, that connects you with everything" and a new buoyancy and integration with the world at large.

Plunge into an altogether other dimension of existence from the sensible and merely 'understandable' world. The unseen region in question is not merely ideal, for it produces effects in this world. 

– William James

Session Facilitator

Michael Lifshitz

Michael Lifshitz, Ph.D., is a Professor of Psychiatry at McGill University, working at the intersection of contemplative practice, neuroscience, and anthropology. He studies practices that aim to transform subjective experience—from meditation and hypnosis to placebos, prayer, and psychedelics. He completed his PhD in Neuroscience at McGill and then a postdoc in Anthropology at Stanford. Drawing on this interdisciplinary background, his research explores how experience, neurobiology, and cultural context interact to shape the process and outcomes of spiritual practice.
