Meditation Practice: Turning Toward or Turning Away?
To download this talk, right-click and select ‘save audio as’ or select the 3-dot menu to the right of the speaker icon.
In a 2017 article, Naropa University Professors Carla Sherrell and Judith Simmer-Brown warned about using meditation practice to avoid pain: “We take up meditation as a way to avoid or dull the pain, and only feel it “works” if we feel better. This approach is an expression of a prevailing culture that quickly takes a pharmaceutical to alleviate pain or pours a drink to numb anxiety. This kind of response to pain favors meditation practices that feature detachment, peace, bliss, and absolutist thinking as defense mechanisms against anxiety, fear, and anguish.” Yet, our world right now is full of anxiety, fear, and anguish. How do we avoid the temptation to turn away from the painful aspects of our personal and societal lives? How do we turn toward our experience and the harsh realities playing out in our community, nation, and world? How do we find insight and engagement in the midst of chaos and injustice? We will explore these difficult but essential questions on this evening of practice and inquiry. Bring an open mind and a willingness to look at the motivation for practice.

[Post – Oct 12, 2020] This new group has reached maximum capacity. Should a secondary or additional group form in the future, use the RSVP option below to include your name on a notifcation list to keep informed of any new developments about this group.
ANNOUNCEMENT
[Post – Sep 1, 2020] A new group is forming at Sacramento Insight Meditation for those dealing with anxiety and loneliness during these unprecedented times.
Anxiety, loneliness, despair and fear are taking place right now at the highest levels this country has ever seen. The Covid-19 pandemic, the wildfires taking place in California, social unrest, and a dysfunctional federal government are now an everyday reality. Our usual coping strategies of spending time with friends and family, enjoying an evening out, going to weekly spiritual services or other in-person meetings, or just taking a long walk, are currently not available. Diane Wilde, an ordained Buddhist chaplain and Tom Vigran, a psychiatrist, will be offering a space where these fears can be expressed and worked with in a safe, confidential environment. Support will be provided through friendship and deep listening. This is not mental health treatment. While there are no solutions, there are strategies that can help which will be shared. We learn from each other as we support each other.
We are considering holding meetings on two Thursdays a month at noon for 90 minutes. Participation will be limited for now. If there is an abundance of interest, a waiting list will be created and future plans will be considered.
If you are interested in adding your name to the notify list, use the RSVP form – enter the number 1 and select the button “Confirm RSVP“. If you don’t see the RSVP option below, click here.
If you have questions or need additional information, contact Diane Wilde at diane@sactoinsight.org.
