SUMMARY:*Day-long Retreat with SIM Founding Teacher\, Dennis Warren
DESCRIPTION:Day-long Retreat with SIM Founding Teacher\, Dennis Warren. For a biography of Dennis Warren\, click here. \nAttention & Mindful – An Exploration\nMindfulness is sometimes described as non-judgmental “bare” attention. As helpful as this general description may be\, it tends to cloud the fact that there is a significant difference between attention and mindfulness. They play separate and distinct roles in practice. And\, most importantly\, it gives no hint of the reality that attention and mindfulness are both purposeful in Buddhist practice. In a period of time when both of these terms are been uncoupled from their historical Buddhist meanings\, what do they mean for each of us as 21st century\, urban practitioners? \nThis will be a day of practice\, reflection\, experimentation and investigation: \n\n          What is the functional difference between attention and mindfulness?\n          What are we supposed to be paying attention to and being mindful of?\n          What does it mean that attention and mindfulness are purposeful in Buddhist practice?\n\nWhat is the relationship between the answers to these questions and the underlying psychology of the historical Buddha? \nWe’ll practice together inside the dharma hall\, and outside under the trees. The retreat format makes it appropriate for both experienced practitioners\, and those new to practice. \n\nAdditional Dana\n \n[give_form id=”4149″ show_title=”false” show_content=”above” display_style=”reveal”]

DESCRIPTION:“The most difficult person in your life is your best teacher…”  The Dalai Lama\nDay-long Retreat with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde. For a biography of Diane Wilde\, click here. \nAlong with periods of walking and meditation\, we will spend time investigating the “difficult person” in our lives through guided meditation and discussion.  When practicing metta (boundless friendliness)\, this person is traditionally defined as the “enemy.” Our goal with metta practice is to feel a sense of benevolence even to him or her!  Quite a goal and what a relief when it actually happens!\nPlease bring your lunch.

SUMMARY:Day-long Retreat with Visiting Teacher\, Amma Thanasanti
DESCRIPTION:Event registration requested\nFrom Separation to Seamless Reality \nBuddhist teachings emphasize the link between dukkha\, an inner dissatisfaction that keeps us from enjoying life and the delusive view of the self that we are separate from others. During this meditation day\, we will explore the conceptual proliferation that generates the sense of self and turn towards the fullness\, peace and potential that is our ever-present nature. Ending conceptual proliferation reveals a seamless reality at the heart of everything and fundamentally changes our way of being and living. The day will be informed by mindful investigation of our direct experience\, and framed within teachings on emptiness\, pervasive awareness and love. \nLunch will be a potluck. Please bring a non-meat dish as well as your own plate\, napkin\, and eating utensils. Offerings will be made to Amma. (Amma welcomes plenty of vegetables\, eggs\, cottage cheese and foods low in carbohydrates\, low inflammation\, and gluten free. She tries to avoid rice or other grains\, potatoes and other nightshades\, and gluten.) \nThe daylong will be dana only. We are sharing travel and lodging expenses with SBMG\, so cost should be minimal. Your RSVP will help our volunteers plan and setup the event space appropriately. \n(Amma) Thanasanti Bhikkhuni was born in California. She was first introduced to Buddhism and insight meditation in 1979 in a class taught by Jack Engler. From that time she consciously committed to awakening and envisioned living her life as a nun. After completing a BA in Biology from UC Santa Cruz\, she worked as an analytical chemist. In 1987 she went on a pilgrimage to India\, Nepal and Thailand to meet Dipa Ma\, HIs Holiness Dalai Lama\, Ajahn Chah\, and Ajahn Buddhadasa. She joined the comunity of nuns living at both Amaravati and Chithurst Buddhist Monasteries in England. She received ordination in 1991. As part of her monastic life she has spent extensive time in retreat in the remote bush of Australia. She founded Awakening Truth whose mission is to combine Forest traditions teachings with modern teachings on integration to allow greater capacity to meet what is arising in ourselves\, our relationships and the world. Eventually\, she aims to create a Bhikkhuni training based on these principles. In August 2010\, after 19 years of being a nun\, she formally joined the Bhikkhuni Sangha at Aranya Bodhi Forest Hermitage\, Sonoma CA\, in the first Theravada Bhikkhuni ordination to be conducted in North America. Ayya Tathaaloka is her preceptor. She blends rigor with gentle loving encouragement to find your own way – finding a balance between fierce holding of the Dhamma and compassion\, tenderness\, humor and empowerment. Currently she is based at the Shakti Vihara hermitage in Santa Rosa\, California as a solitary alms mendicant nun where her time is interspersed between writing\, teaching\, time meditating in the nearby Annadale State Park and caring for her elderly Mom\, Marley Fein. \n Scroll down to RSVP/Register to the event.

SUMMARY:New Year’s Eve Day Retreat with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren
DESCRIPTION:Finding Balance In The New America \nThe landscape of American society and politics is in the process of significant change. Many of us find this period of transition confusing\, troubling\, destabilizing. The future seems so uncertain.

SUMMARY:Day-long with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:Gratitude: the easiest practice of all! \nGratitude is the sweetest of all the practices for living the dharma in daily life and the most easily cultivated\, requiring the least effort for what is gained in return. It is a very powerful form of mindfulness practice\, particularly for those who habitually look for what is wrong in a situation or person.  We will investigate the causes and conditions that cause gratitude and gratitude’s healing qualities. \nWe will start the day with gentle mindful movement\, with periods of sitting and walking leaving time for discussion.

SUMMARY:Day-long with Visiting Teacher\, Heather Sundberg
DESCRIPTION:Topic:  Equanimity: Freedom from Hope & Fear \n** This is daylong one of two\, which can be attended separately or together. The second daylong is scheduled for November 19th\, hosted by SBMG. \n“How do I respond wisely to the changing conditions of my life and the world? \n“How do I find Equanimity in the middle of hoping things will be OK & fearing they won’t be OK?” \nEquanimity is the Balance of the Non-Reactive mind & heart\, grounded in Wisdom\, which supports a deep Caring and leads to an Appropriate Response. The quality of Equanimity allows us to be less reactive\, more compassionate and wise in the face of the underlying conditioned patterns of Hope & Fear. In this daylong we will identify and investigate these underlying patterns\, how they manifest in our minds/lives\, and examine what it means to have a heart open in the midst of all things. Teachings and practices will focus on developing the qualities of embodied groundedness\, spaciousness\, mindfulness\, equanimity\, and lovingkindness. \nEnjoy a day of quiet sitting and walking meditation\, which allow our minds to settle down\, and our hearts to open to an inner wisdom. In addition to insight meditation practice\, Heather will guide Equanimity Practices through sitting meditation\, somatic practices to help settle and discharge reactivity\, teachings\, simple movement practice and plenty of discussion about how to live with increasing wisdom based on the teachings. \nHeather Sundberg has taught insight meditation since 1999 and has completed the Spirit Rock/IMS Teacher Training. Beginning her own meditation practice in her late teens\, for the last 25 years\, Heather has studied with senior teachers in the Insight Meditation (Vipassana) and Tibetan (Vajrayana) traditions and has sat 1-3 months of retreat a year for almost 20 years. Between 2010- 2015 she spent a cumulative one-year in study\, practice\, and pilgrimage in Asia. Since 2011\, she has been a Teacher at Mountain Stream Meditation Center and sister communities in the Sierra Foothills\, and also teaches nationally\, especially at Spirit Rock Meditation Center. For more information about Heather visit heathersundberg.com or www.mtstream.org.   \nDana (donation) The Teacher offers the teachings freely in the tradition of the Buddha\, and her livelihood is completely sustained by the generosity of the communities she serves. Dana (donation) for these priceless teachings will be gratefully accepted by the teacher\, giving participants the opportunity to freely engage in the practice of generosity\, the first step toward freedom.

SUMMARY:Day-long with SIM Founding Teacher\, Dennis Warren
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 24\, 8:30-4:30 pm. Daylong Retreat with Dennis Warren\, SIM Founding Instructor. \nTHE ROLE OF THE “BRAHMA VIHARAS” IN AN INTEGRATED PATH OF PRACTICE \nThe Brahma Viharas – loving kindness\, compassion\, sympathetic joy & equanimity – are what we would call the “heart” qualities in Buddhist practice. We frequently understand these as powerful states of mind that have healing qualities and can act as antidotes to negative mind states. What is not so often clearly understood is their foundational role in an integrated path of practice. \nThis one day retreat will explore the nature of these four significant heart practices and how they are essential to a mature and integrated spiritual practice. \nPlease bring a lunch and plan on staying on-site all day. A microwave and refrigerator are available.

SUMMARY:Day-Long Retreat with SIM Community Mentor Diane Wilde and Ayya Santacitta
DESCRIPTION:The Middle Way:  The Noble Eightfold Path – leading towards happiness and away from suffering \nApril 30\n8:30 — 4:30 \nAyya Santacitta Bhikkhuni and Diane Wilde \nAyya Santacitta\, a Theravada Bhikkhuni nun of the Forest tradition of the West\, who resides at http://saranaloka.org/ Placerville and SIM Community Mentor Diane Wilde will co-teach a daylong focused on the Buddha’s path that leads towards happiness and moves away from suffering.   The Noble Eightfold path includes every aspect of our lives — as far-ranging as developing a beneficial meditation practice to the practicalities of how to speak with kindness in the face of hostility. Bhikkhu Bodhi describes coming to the realization about our lives this way\, “Our lives for the most part are strung out between thirst for pleasure and the fear of pain.  We pass our days running after one and avoiding the other\, seldom enjoying peace and contentment.”  The Noble Eightfold Path is the Buddha’s prescription for contentment and well-being here and now.  It is the path to Awakening. \nThere will be sitting and walking meditation\, as well as Dharma talks and periods set aside for questions and answers. \nPlease bring a vegetarian dish to share with others. \n We will be offering Ayya Santacitta her main meal at noon. \nThere is no registration for this daylong.

SUMMARY:Day-Long Retreat with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard
DESCRIPTION:One Day Retreat\,Rich Howard\, SIM Community Mentor. \nEvery Moment is the Right Moment: Developing Continuity of Awareness \nIn this daylong\, we will develop continuity of awareness through alternating periods of dhamma discussion with open periods for “continuing to practice in any posture.” This style of meditation\, as taught by Sayadaw U Tejaniya\, Steve Armstrong\, Kamala Masters\, Andrea Fella\, and others\, cultivates an open awareness to all experience that is easily applicable to daily life. By bringing awareness to each activity and the transitions between them\, this style requires a gentle perseverance rather than a forced personal effort\, and can leave one feeling refreshed and alert even after a full day (or two weeks!) By using the mind itself as an object of awareness\, the practice allows us to see and work with our intentions\, motivations\, and habits of mind. Bring a lunch and plan to stay on the Friends Meeting House property to make the most of this day.
