SUMMARY:(Onsite) Daylong Retreat/Workshop - Dennis Warren - When Life Changes
DESCRIPTION:Daylong Retreat/Workshop with SIM’s Founding Teacher Dennis Warren\n\n\n\nFor biographical details of the teacher Dennis Warren\, click here. \n\n\n\nRetreat Theme\n\n\n\nWhen Life Changes – A One Day Retreat / WorkshopThis one-day retreat / workshop explores the one constant in all our lives – change. \n\n\n\nSome of these changes are sudden. Some gradual. Some big. Some\, at least initially\, small. Changes in relationships\, finances\, jobs\, living circumstances. Changes in capacity – mental\, emotional\, physical. Changes in health and quality of life. Changes in ourselves\, in those we know\, in the world as we have known it. \n\n\n\nOur actual experience of change frequently catches us off guard even when the change itself is anticipated. We feel unprepared\, disoriented\, disorganized. Buddhist practices offer the possibility of being prepared for change\, even when we have no idea what it will be. They offer the possibility of experiencing change as possibility\, rather than primarily as obstacle or problem. \n\n\n\nThis day will explore Buddhist perspectives\, tools and practices that help us work with change large and small. It will involve meditations\, reflections\, dharma talk\, and small and large group discussions. \n\n\n\nThe day is appropriate for all levels of practice experience. Please bring a pen/pencil and paper\, and your own lunch. Plan on staying on-site at the Sacramento Dharma Center all day during the retreat. \n\n\n\nAbout This Onsite Retreat\n\n\n\n\nThe teacher will present in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center. All participants will attend in-person as the retreat will not be available via Zoom.\n\n\n\nPre-registration is required and we recommend you pay the registration fee in advance using the registration ATTEND buttons shown below. Since your registration choice indicates that you’ll be attending in-person\, registering early helps us determine how many people the meditation room should accommodate.\n\n\n\nAfter you’ve registered you may later offer a donation in gratitude of the teacher. To offer teacher dana\, visit https://sactoinsight.org/retreat-dana-online/.\n\n\n\n\nSummary of Important Dates\n\n\n\n\n04/04/2024 – Registration opens.\n\n\n\n05/25/2024 – Attend and enjoy the wonderful retreat.\n\n\n\n05/25/2024 – For registration after the retreat\, send a message to the registrar to arrange payment.\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\n\n\nSelect the registration “ATTEND” button to indicate you’ll be attending via in-person. The fee is $25.00 per person due before the start of the event. If you are able and interested in further supporting SIM financially\, you have the option of a registration fee of either $35 or $50 dollars. Note that fee amounts above the regular rate support Sacramento Insight Meditation and is distinct from teacher dana. For the registration fee\, we also accept personal checks.

In the West\, we refer to Vipassana meditation as “Insight Meditation” because it produces Insight – a spontaneous\, sudden change in how we understand ourselves and the world based on direct experience. During this evening we’ll explore the nature of the Insight experience and the difference in Insight which cognitive and that based on direct experience. We’ll also consider its different types – Insight that arises\, and is interpreted\, thru the self or ego\, and Insight which is “liberating” because it allows us to experience the world without the management\, control and interference of the self or ego. \n\n\n\nThis evening will be helpful for those attending Dennis’ one day retreat / workshop on Saturday\, May 25 entitled “When Life Changes.” The subject matter of this evening will be appropriate for all stages of practice. You can attend in person or by ZOOM. Dennis will be presenting in person and encourages you to be there in person as well. \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n[give_form id=”10310″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \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: 870 2524 1285 and Passcode: 328267 )For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

The obvious way is that we do not tell lies or mislead others with our speech (including written communication). The other way\, Ajahn Sucitto says\, “refers to perception\, to the ability to see or know things in an undistorted way.” This second way requires us to be totally honest with ourselves and to see with clarity\, which involves bringing mindfulness to each moment. \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n[give_form id=”14984″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \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: 870 2524 1285 and Passcode: 328267 )For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

We may be closed down into paralysis or panic. And yet our practice calls us to engage the suffering\, the world’s and our own\,  with compassion. How can we withstand and even thrive as the “worldly winds” blow around us?  The quality of Equanimity can be the refuge we seek. We will explore Equanimity (upekkha in Pali) as one of the Paramis\, as well as its place in the Brahmaviharas and the Seven Factors of Awakening.  \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n[give_form id=”10304″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \n\n\n\nHow to Attend Remotely\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: 870 2524 1285 and Passcode: 328267 )For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.
