(Remote) 2021 SIM Annual Retreat

September 3, 2021 September 6, 2021 PDT

2021 SIM Annual Retreat with Kamala Masters and Steve Armstrong

This retreat is full and registration is closed.

Retreat Theme: A Long Enduring Mind

This year’s annual retreat will be online, four days starting Friday evening 9/3/21 through 9/6/21. The teachers will be Kamala Masters and Steve Armstrong. The teachers will be offering practical Dhamma understanding in relationship to these reflections:
  • Is the path I’m practicing worthy of my efforts?
  • How can I balance life in the world with deeper practice?
  • Am I practicing with compassion in the face of dukkha?
  • How does gratitude and generosity deepen my practice?
Reflecting on these questions will expand your development of a fully infused Dhamma lifestyle. As Sayadaw Tejaniya acknowledged, “Practice is more like a marathon than a sprint.”

Cost

Scholarships

We encourage you to pay the full registration fee if your finances allow you to do so; however, in recognition of the challenging year many have had, partial scholarships are available if needed. The ticket you select when making payment will indicate if you will be paying the full registration fee or paying a portion of the fee via partial scholarship. If you select a scholarship option, to help us use the appropriate scholarship funds, the registrar will ask if you are 40 years old or under. If you’d like to contribute into the scholarship fund to help someone else be able to afford this special dharma opportunity, enter the amount you’d like to donate in the box below. Donating into the fund won’t register you for the retreat.
