SUMMARY:2018 SIM Residential Retreat
DESCRIPTION:SIM Residential Retreat with John Travis – Friday\, September 7 through Friday\, 12:00 Noon\, September 14\, 2018 \nJohn Travis\, another of SIM’s Senior Teachers who has taught many of our retreats in the past\, has graciously volunteered to teach for us again this year.  SIM is very grateful to John for his willingness to step in and lead this retreat in place of Steve Armstrong. \nFrom Effort to Ease\nThis seven-night retreat in a forest retreat grounds just outside Foresthill\, California in the Sierra Nevada foothills is suitable for both new and experienced meditators. People of all walks of life are warmly welcome. \nJohn will emphasize the simple discipline of walking and sitting.\nResting with the good heart and unruffled mind.\nSeeing that when there is great ease there is also effortless freedom. \nBuddha emphasized over and over that it takes effort to follow the path of Dharma.\nYet the ultimate result is about the nature of ease.\nWe use effort to see into the nature of a fearful and restless mind/heart.\nThen the fundamentals of insight:\n– relaxing in the deepest recesses of our psyche\n– diminishing the power of anxiousness and dis-ease.\nUltimately finding its own good heart and relaxed mind. \nJOHN TRAVIS is the founding teacher of Mountain Stream Meditation Center and a member of the Senior Teachers Council of Spirit Rock Meditation Center. He studied in Asia for many years with many of the Buddhist masters who have influenced a generation of American meditation teachers—Thubten Yeshe\, Kalu Rinpoche\, Anagarika Munidra\, S.N. Goenka\, and Traungpula. He has also trained with and received teaching authorization from Jack Kornfield.\nJohn was a critical force in the early growth of the Sacramento meditation community through his regular presence\, guidance\, and teachings during the 1990s. His sound and thoughtful advice has been instrumental to the development of Sacramento Insight Meditation. He now teaches regularly in various meditation centers in the United States and overseas. His teachings are characterized by his kindness\, compassion\, the depth of his meditation experience\, and his ability to see deeply into the minds and hearts of those with whom he is working.    More…  \n\nRetreat Flyer (.pdf)\n\nCost\nWe’ve worked very hard to keep cost down.
