Spiritual Bypassing: What It Is and How to Work with It
A Hybrid Weekend Retreat with David Chernikoff
“Look within. Be still. Free from fear and attachment, know the sweet joy of the way.
---the Buddha, in the Dhammapada
David Chernikoff began the study and practice of meditation in 1971 and started teaching insight meditation in 1988. His teaching has been influenced by senior teachers from the Insight Meditation Society and Spirit Rock Meditation Center, Tibetan teachers he studied with during a 3-year stay in Nepal, and spiritual guides from other contemplative traditions, most notably Ram Dass, Father Thomas Keating, Zen teacher Yvonne Rand, and Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi. David taught psychology and meditation for many years at Naropa University. He currently serves as one of the guiding teachers of the Insight Meditation Community of Colorado and teaches retreats and workshops throughout the U.S. He is the author of the book Life, Part Two: Seven Keys to Awakening with Purpose and Joy as You Age.
