The way we arrive inwardly shapes what happens next: how we perceive\, relate to\, and understand our experience. It quietly guides the direction in which the mind and heart are pointed.Learning to establish the mind in Not Knowing is a vital foundation of practice. This evening will explore what “establishing the mind in Not Knowing” really means\, why it matters so deeply\, and some practical ways to cultivate this fertile\, spacious quality of mind.Whether you’re just beginning to practice or have been on the path for many years\, this exploration is meant to offer something immediately useful and alive. You are warmly invited to join\, in person or via Zoom. Dennis will be presenting in person\, and especially encourages you to come to share the room together\, meet old and new friends\, and spend an evening in community\, turning together toward the Buddha’s teachings. \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n\nDennis Warren will receive at least 75% of your donation. \n\n\n\nUse the following donate button and select Talk – Mar 5 Dennis from the dropdown list. \n\n\n\n\nDONATE – Thu Talk\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Attend Remotely\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/join or join by phone at 1-669-900-6833( Meeting ID: 862 9909 1295 and Passcode: 115163)For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Non-residential\, Silent Retreat with Diana Clark and Walt Opie
DESCRIPTION:Diana Clark\n\n\n\n\n\nWalt Opie\n\n\n\n\n\nNon-residential\, Silent Retreat with SIM Teachers Diana Clark and Walt Opie\n\n\n\nBoth teachers will be IN-PERSON at the Sacramento Dharma Center for all three days. \n\n\n\nFor biographical details of the teachers\, click the links Diana Clark / Walt Opie. \n\n\n\nRetreat Theme\n\n\n\nA Heart at Ease: Awareness and Wisdom in Challenging Times \n\n\n\nAbout This Retreat\n\n\n\nThis three-day\, non-residential silent meditation retreat invites participants to cultivate awareness and wisdom as a pathway to a heart at ease. Inspired in part by the teachings of Sayadaw U Tejaniya\, we’ll practice paying careful attention to the present moment experience—not only during formal sitting and walking meditation\, but also throughout the flow of daily life. With an emphasis on continuity of awareness\, both at the retreat center and in the hours before and after\, participants are encouraged to nurture a gentle\, receptive heart that learns to meet each moment with wisdom and ease.Non-residential retreats offer a unique opportunity for deep and sustained meditation practice in the company of others\, while returning home to one’s own space at night. For some\, this format provides a gentle introduction to the rhythm of residential retreats. For others\, it allows for intensive practice while remaining available for evening responsibilities. Whatever the circumstances\, a non-residential retreat offers a precious chance to strengthen mindfulness\, cultivate continuity of awareness\, and experience the support and inspiration of practicing together in person. \n\n\n\nThis daily schedule is tentative. Check back soon for updated details. \n\n\n\n\n\nMonday\, Mar 16 Overview\n\n\n\n\n9:30 am to 12:30 – Sitting & Walking w/Instructions\n\n\n\n12:30 to 1:30 – Lunch\n\n\n\n1:30 pm to 4:30 pm – Sitting and Walking with Dharma Talk\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, Mar 17 Overview\n\n\n\n\n9:30 am to 12:30 – Sitting & Walking w/Instructions and Practice Groups\n\n\n\n12:30 to 1:30 – Lunch\n\n\n\n1:30 pm to 4:30 pm – Sitting and Walking with Dharma Talk\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, Mar 18 Overview\n\n\n\n\n9:30 am to 12:30 – Sitting & Walking w/Instructions \n\n\n\n12:30 to 1:30 – Lunch\n\n\n\n1:30 pm to 4:00 pm – Sitting and Walking with Q&A\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\n\n\nSelect the registration “REGISTER NOW” button and indicate if you’ll be attending in-person or attending on Zoom.
