Dear Friends,

January 20, 2021 is a big day! In hopes that this date marks a tipping point toward significant action to address the climate crisis, we are going to take this month off for our Climate Sangha and invite you all to enjoy the inauguration and associated festivities. We will reconvene on Wednesday February 17, when Jim Lerner, PhD CRS (certified rocket scientist) will give us his perspectives on solutions to the global climate emergency.

If you want to get your climate fix before then, you are invited to view the conversation and five short films linked here. Apologies for duplication if you already received this directly, but we wanted to be sure you got this if you missed it live.

Take care, recharge, and be bold!

Rich Howard

An online, One Day Retreat with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren

A Day of Rest and Getting Ready for 2021

After an exhausting year, this one-day retreat will help us experience some genuine rest and explore a number of tools for being ready for what 2021 has in store for us.
One part of the day will be working with restorative practices that ground and nourish us while simultaneously expanding our capacity for holding difficult experiences. Another part will examine ways to work with the unavoidable, unrelenting and brutal tension, anxiety and sorrow of 2021. The day will be designed to have us leave with a set of tools and strategies for use in the new year.
This will be a relaxed day of exploration, discussion and supporting each other. The day will be scaled so it is appropriate for any level of practice and experience.
(Pre-registration is required.)

DENNIS WARREN is SIM’s Founding Teacher and has been teaching mindfulness, meditation and contemplative practices since 1998. He recently completed his 11th year as a Volunteer Clinical Professor in Mindfulness in the Division of Pain Medicine at the UC Davis School of Medicine and Medical Center. He is certified as a Mindfulness Teacher, Professional Level (CMT-P), by the International Mindfulness Teachers Association. He is a graduate of the professional trainings in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy for Depression. He also is a graduate of the Spirit Rock Medication Center’s Dharma leaders training program. You can learn more about Dennis’ background and activities at https://www.denniswarren.net/.
Dennis has been participating in residential meditation retreats, and has maintained a daily meditation practice, in the Theravadan Buddhist tradition for over 30 years. 2018 was his 20th year of teaching Insight Meditation and mindfulness practices in residential, retreat, educational, medical, corporate and community settings. In 2007 and 2014, Dennis led month long pilgrimages and moving retreats in Thailand, India and Nepal. A third is being planned for late 2021.

Sacramento 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.
