- **Event Name**: Just Because You Think It Doesn’t Make It True: Being Mindful of Thoughts
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 14 Feb, 2026 at 10:30 am – Sat, 14 Feb, 2026 at 01:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Please join Adam Groff, a meditation teacher with North Shore Insight Meditation Community, for a half-day meditation program in Salisbury, Mass.

A huge number of our everyday thoughts happen automatically, with no critical examination from us as to their validity. This is the way almost all of us live, and it’s the source of a great deal of stress and conflict in our lives and in the world. The process is this: a stimulus comes in, we experience it as pleasant or unpleasant, we move from there to liking or disliking, and then we take action. This process, which often happens in a split second, has been studied in detail by modern neuroscience, but it was also described clearly in the teachings of the Buddha some 2500 years ago. The solution the Buddha proposed was to bring mindful awareness to the whole process; today, mental health professionals are making exactly the same recommendation. 

In this program we will discuss what mindful awareness of thoughts looks like, and then try to put it into practice. Beginners and seasoned meditators are all equally welcome.

Adam Groff has been studying and practicing Buddhism and Buddhist meditation since 2009, beginning at the Insight Meditation Center of Newburyport under Matthew Daniell. Today he teaches meditation and is a graduate student in mental health counseling.
