Really listening to another is an incredible skill… it’s almost magical. When we listen to another, we are not only giving them the gift of our whole-hearted attention, we are also taming the ego-driven addiction of impatiently waiting for OUR turn to speak. When the Buddha spoke about Right Speech, he was including both sides of the communication equation; skillful means of intentional speech as well as intentional listening to others. Intentionally listening also means listening to ourselves, to our own innate wisdom which we often ignore. Skillful Listening is a mindful practice that changes attitudes and beliefs as well as enhances empathy and community. It is a great gift to bring into this New Year… for ourselves, our friends, and to those with whom we disagree.

Most of us know the quiet sense that something is not quite right. In this talk we’ll explore how the way forward can emerge from within the very moments that once felt so wrong.
Registration is now open for this five week online course facilitated by SIM Teacher Walt Opie.
This course explores each of the Seven Factors of Awakening and learn how we can cultivate them more deliberately in our own practice for a greater sense of well-being. These factors include: mindfulness, investigation, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equipoise. It’s said that these factors, or treasures, have healing potential and lead to awakening or Nibbana.
This course meets remotely via Zoom for five consecutive Tuesday evenings on February 10, 17, 24, and March 3,10, 2026 from 7pm to 8:30pm. For registration details, visit https://sactoinsight.org/event/7-factors-awaken-2026/.
