Tour | Lower Manhattan Tour

It's here where the world's most important stock exchange and one of the most famous bridges stand. And it is here where an unspeakable tragedy took place and where a rebirth is underway.

Workshop | Active Insight Meditation


Active Insight is a meditation that allows participants to explore the relationship between body, mind, the space around us and between us. Through this practice of intensely listening to the body's impulses through meditation, we learn about different aspects of our internal lives, our needs, desires, conflicts, and what brings us joy. How we connect with others and our environment will be explored as well. Join us in exploring a meditation that transforms to an active meditation practice that is created by you; directed by your body's individualized needs. Active Insight has been an effective tool in serving people recovering from addictions, eating disorders and trauma, as well as for anyone wanting to decrease stress and uncover their own authentic movement. Adrienne Glasser is a Licensed Certified Social Worker and Registered Dance Movement Therapist that has been helping clients to find their intuitive path towards healing for over 15 years.
