SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Reconsidering Sitting Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Reconsidering Sitting Meditation: An Experiment & Exploration\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren \n* Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center. Dennis will be presenting by ZOOM.\nJoin online meeting: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82992020067\nPasscode: 055014\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID: 829 9202 0067 )\nFor tips and instructions on how to participate\, check this news blog. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\n[give_form id=”10310″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] “Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical Buddha\nFor remote meetings\, please use the form above to donate by credit card or your PayPal account. Enter the amount you’d like to give and 75% of your donation will be shared with Dennis Warren. \nTopic details:\nSitting Insight Meditation is one essential element of a purposeful and intentional life. It is\, at its core\, about laying the foundation for a rich\, full\, satisfying life. It points our mind\, heart and body towards a conscious and awake relationship with ourselves\, with others and the world around us.\nSeveral preconditions must be in place in order for sitting meditation to play these defining and guiding roles. Specifically\, we need to develop a combined conceptual and experience model of what we are doing in meditation\, how we are doing it and why we are doing it. If this is not present\, our sitting meditation will be unfocused and misdirected. More importantly\, it will not direct\, support and sustain us on the path to a more satisfying life or a practice with the potential of being release from the constant and punishing management and control of the self or ego.\nThis evening will involve a reconsideration of several fundamental elements of Sitting Insight Meditation. It will include an experiment during the 700 pm hour. \nYou will need to have a straight back chair available to use during the meditation \n– the kind that would normally be part of a kitchen or dining room set. We will use the sitting experiment during the first hour as part of our exploration of sitting fundamentals during the 800 pm hour. \nThe subject matter of this evening is appropriate for all stages of practice.

SUMMARY:(CANCELED) Daylong Retreat - Dennis Warren
DESCRIPTION:* * * This retreat is canceled. * * *\nOne Day Retreat with SIM’s Founding Teacher Dennis Warren\nRetreat theme: The Body in Question – An Investigation\nThe Body in Question – your body – will be the focus of this one-day retreat. The body at rest\, in motion and in relationship to others and the events around it. Our time together will involve investigations and experiments in sitting meditation\, common daily movements and active forms of movement – yoga\, Qi Gong\, golf\, dance and may more – as meditation.\nOur body\, and how our body moves\, form core elements of our identity\, our skills and our relationships with other. Being more conscious and purposeful in understanding how to be in the body\, stay in the body and fully experience the body is foundational to contemplative practice and to living fully.\nA key question we’ll examine: How can we help our body and its movements become a more vivid and enriching parts of our contemplative practice and our life whatever its current condition and limitations?\nIt would be helpful to review Dennis’ talk on August 12th entitled “Is Movement Meditation?” (click here) as preparation for this one day.\nThe subject matter of this one day is appropriate for all stages of practice.
