SUMMARY:Introduction to MBSR with SIM Community Member Matt Russell
DESCRIPTION:This evening will provide an introduction to Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in anticipation of the 8-week MBSR course which will be offered at SIM starting September 2018. Designed by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979\, MBSR is an integrative and scientifically validated approach that combines mindfulness practices with group processing and psycho-education around stress. MBSR helps participants mobilize their inner resources to alleviate suffering associated with chronic pain and illness\, as well as conditions such as anxiety\, depression\, headaches\, high blood pressure\, sleep disturbances\, gastrointestinal problems and the stresses of everyday life. This work was featured in Bill Moyers’ television special\, “Healing and the Mind” in a dated but still compelling piece. \n Matt Russell is a UMass Med School Center for Mindfulness qualified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher and has been a member of the SIM community since 2010. He has sat over a dozen multi-day silent retreats with teachers such as Joseph Goldstein\, Steve Armstrong\, Kamala Masters\, John Travis\, Bhikkhu Anālayo\, Dennis Warren\, and others. Matt is a graduate of the Sati Center for Buddhist Studies’ Chaplaincy Training Program in Redwood City. He has completed trainings with Mindful Schools and taught mindfulness to teenagers. \nSacramento Insight Meditation events are sustained by the generosity of instructors in offering teachings freely and on the generosity of students and members of the meditative community in the form of financial support\, service and participation in events. With our practice of dana\, we support our Sangha. \nAt the bottom of this page\, you may enter the number of people planning to attend and select the button “Confirm RSVP”.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Diane Wilde - Present Moment
DESCRIPTION:What’s so great about the present moment anyway?\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor Rev. Diane Wilde \n“Be mindful.” “Stay in the present.” “Bare attention.” We’ve all heard one of these phrases. And if you’re more experienced in insight practice\, these may be the watchwords that chime in the back of consciousness from morning till night\, reminding you that everything genuine in the spiritual path is to be found in the now. So\, if this is such an important practice\, why is it so hard to stay present and what’s so great about it anyhow? We’ll discuss the reasons for staying present according to Buddhist teachings\, and offer some practical techniques for staying present that you will find helpful. \nSacramento Insight Meditation events are sustained by the generosity of instructors in offering teachings freely and on the generosity of students and members of the meditative community in the form of financial support\, service and participation in events. With our practice of dana\, we support our Sangha.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Discussion - Rev. Diane Wilde - Taking Refuge … in the sangha
DESCRIPTION:Taking Refuge … in the sangha\nSitting and Dharma discussion with Rev. Diane Wilde \nAs Buddhist practitioners\, we take refuge in the Buddha (and our own potential for Buddhahood)\, the Dharma (how life unfolds) and the sangha\, (a supportive community of practitioners.) On August 16\, we’ll take a closer look at sangha. \nThere are activities going on “behind the scenes” at SIM that you most likely don’t know about\, as well as other supportive programs which will be offered in the future. We will also discuss what YOU would like to see offered at YOUR sangha. \nCookies and other treats will be featured during the break. Be sure to be there! \nSacramento Insight Meditation events are sustained by the generosity of instructors in offering teachings freely and on the generosity of students and members of the meditative community in the form of financial support\, service and participation in events. With our practice of dana\, we support our Sangha.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Abiding Independent
DESCRIPTION:Abiding Independent\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor Rich Howard \nThe Satipattahana Sutta (the Discourse on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness) is at the center of our practice of meditation in the Vipassana (Insight) tradition. The refrain of the Sutta includes this phrase: the practictioner “abides independent\, not clinging to anything in the world.” Other suttas use “knowledge independent of others” as a sign of a mature practice and of right view. Yet we understand from the teaching on dependent origination that all phenomena are dependent on causes and conditions\, that “no thing” exists on its own. This evening we will explore the idea of “abiding independent” as an inspiration for practice and study of the dhamma. \nSacramento Insight Meditation events are sustained by the generosity of instructors in offering teachings freely and on the generosity of students and members of the meditative community in the form of financial support\, service and participation in events. With our practice of dana\, we support our Sangha.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Noliwe Alexander - Impermanence
DESCRIPTION:Impermanence\nIs it possible to find ease and grace in a world full of change?\nIt is possible to trust the mind of non-clinging and so find our liberation within the world of impermanence. ~ Gil Fronsdal \nWe will explore this question of finding refuge in the truth of change in our uncertain and often turbulent times. While letting go of our fixed views and opening to the possibilities of freedom\, we have the opportunity to deepen our understanding of living with clarity and ease in each moment. \nNOLIWE ALEXANDER has been a student of Vipassana meditation for over 15 years. Throughout this time of deep devotion to the Dharma\, Noliwe has become a dedicated practitioner\, teacher of various sitting groups around the Bay Area\, facilitator of community workshops and Buddhist meditation day longs and class series programs. She is a Life & Business Coach dedicating both her coaching & Dharma practice to the POC\, LGBT\, At Risk and Elder communities. She is a graduate of Spirit Rock’s CDL4 program and completed EBMC’s Commit 2 Dharma program in 2010. Noliwe is participating in the Spirit Rock Teacher Training from 2017-2020. Noliwe is a wisdom keeper and humbled by the presence of her ancestor’s spirit that lives within and walks beside her. \nSacramento Insight Meditation events are sustained by the generosity of instructors in offering teachings freely and on the generosity of students and members of the meditative community in the form of financial support\, service and participation in events. With our practice of dana\, we support our Sangha.
