Day OF Practice with Susan Weir
A Day of Practice at Insight Meditation Fort Wayne with Susan Weir, Founding Teacher of Insight Meditation Ann Arbor, will be held on February 28, 2026 from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm. Join Susan as she teaches: The Map of Realization.
“The default in life is to look to external things: relationships, circumstances, family, work, health, thoughts, opinions and beliefs, to bring us peace and happiness. We look to the outside for happiness. When this fails, the search for a path, a spiritual path out of suffering, often begins.
“The word ‘path’ implies we need to travel, to be somewhere different than where we are. We usually come to a spiritual practice with this idea that we need to be somewhere else, to be someone else, someone more perfected, in order to be happy. In many ways, the spiritual work is to drop this deep conditioning of searching and realize everything we need has been there all along. It’s been so close to us that we have missed it.
“And yet nothing that we have done or tried is wasted. All is exactly well.
“As we release this process of searching we start to come home to ourselves. Creating a map from where this journey starts, the realizations that build along the way through insight practice, and the stepping out of the seemingly separate self can wake us up to the end of searching.”
In a one day format, we’ll start at the beginning of practice, review the insights along the way, find the places where practice lineage changes, and come to the direct path of seeing our true nature.
