SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren
DESCRIPTION:Forgetting  and Remembering\nThe original definition of Mindfulness contains the element of “remembering.” What does this mean? And why is it important? What are we “forgetting?”  What are we trying to “remember?” Does it mean remembering to engage in “moment-to-moment non-judgmental awareness”?  As difficult as it is to maintain such a state of mind\, is that it? Is that all? Or is there more? Or is there much more?\nUnderstanding these questions\, and their answers\, in the context of the historical Buddha’s teachings\, is important to practicing well and developing a progressively maturing practice. Reflect on these questions and come prepared with your questions to supplement the talk and discussion. \nSitting and Dharma Talk\, with Dennis Warren\, SIM Founding Teacher

SUMMARY:Family Sangha (off-site)
DESCRIPTION:Family Sangha welcomes those who want to develop dharma practice in a family setting—parents\, grandparents\, uncles\, aunts\, and more. We offer indoor and outdoor activities for children\, expressing values of the Buddha way: compassion\, curiosity\, generosity\, kindness\, and mindfulness. Adults have time for meditation\, play\, and discussion. Please bring snacks\, clothes suitable for outdoor play\, and remain on the premises for the entire session if you bring children. Please let us know if you are interested in a tween and teen group. \nFamily Sangha is sponsored by the Sacramento Dharma Center; any dana you can offer for expenses is gratefully appreciated. \nDue to a scheduling conflict at the Sacramento Dharma Center building\, this meeting will be held offsite\, rain or shine. \nThe venue is Effie Yeaw Nature Center located inside the Ancil Hoffman County Park. Internet mapping software often gives inaccurate directions through San Lorenzo Way but this entrance is permanently locked and the only way to access the Effie Yeaw Nature Center by car is from Tarshes Drive and California Avenue. Click here for complete directions or visit www.sacnaturecenter.net. \nPlease meet at the kiosk at the entrance to the Nature Center right next to the sidewalk.  It’s the only way to enter once you’ve parked and there is a $5 per car parking fee. This fee pays for a full-day of accessing trails\, the museum\, and visitor center. \nThe meeting will last approximately one hour. We are planning various mindful- and nature-based activities for children as well as the adults in and around the Nature Center. Activities may include walking on trails near the Nature Center within Ancil Hoffman County Park.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:“What About God?”  Part 2     –     Sit & Dharma Talk with Diane Wilde \n“What About God” Part 1 addressed the Buddha’s perspective concerning god\, which of course was strongly influenced by his own cultural imperatives.  Tonight we’ll begin the evening with a brief overview of how various contemporary teachers address this topic both personally and in their sanghas.  The remainder of the evening will be a community discussion on the topic.  Some of us incorporate “god” into our practice due to cultural mores or personal spiritual values. Others experience a sense of relief practicing a path which is non-theistic.  Please come and share your own perspective!  Should be an interesting discussion.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard
DESCRIPTION:Engaged and Aware: Finding a Balance\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard. \nFor many of us\, commitment to justice and ethics leads us to engage in action in the real world. But our practice of meditative awareness calls us to “be” not just “do.” Are these impulses opposed to each other? Or are they mutually supportive? How can we sustain our engagement and connect our mindfulness to the suffering all around (and within!) us? Let’s explore the implications of bringing our practice into every day life. This evening will serve as a good preparation for SIM’s Earth Day Daylong Retreat on Saturday April 22.

SUMMARY:*Day-long Retreat on Earth Day with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard
DESCRIPTION:Day-long Retreat on Earth Day with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard. \nThe Buddha touched the Earth as witness to his awakening. He encouraged meditating under trees. Our practice benefits ever-expanding circles of beings when we connect it to the Earth. In this daylong retreat on Earth Day\, we will combine mindful discussion with silent practice\, including outdoor awareness exercises\, working with the Four Elements\, and eating meditation. We will open to the grief and the joy of our current relationship with the Earth and all its inhabitants. \nBring a lunch and sun protection (hat and/or fragrance-free sunscreen). At the retreat and at the bottom of the webpage\, participants will have an opportunity to offer monetary dana. All dana collected will be shared with One Earth Sangha\, whose mission is “to bring the essential wisdom and practices from the Buddhist tradition to collective engagement on critical ecological crises.” \n\nAdditional Dana\n \n[give_form id=”3813″ show_title=”false” show_content=”above” display_style=”reveal”]\nQuestions for the Registrar?\nUse the form below only if you need to contact the retreat registrar with any questions. \n[contact-form to=’website@sactoinsight.org’ subject=’Question about April 22 Day-long Retreat’][contact-field label=’Name’ type=’name’ required=’1’/][contact-field label=’Email’ type=’email’ required=’1’/][contact-field label=’Comments/Questions’ type=’textarea’/][/contact-form]
