SUMMARY:Annual New Year's Retreat in Texas with Shaila Catherine
DESCRIPTION:Energy\, Effort\, and Ease\nAn Insight Meditation retreat led by Shaila Catherine\nDecember 27\, 2018 to January 1\, 2019 \nThis insight retreat will emphasize skills for developing Right Effort to support mindfulness\, concentration\, and insight. By learning to use our energies wisely\, we can set down the burden of competitive striving\, infuse our activities with ease\, cultivate balanced beautiful qualities\, open to a fresh and free way of engaging with experience\, and incline the mind toward profound peace. \nThe factor of effort is included in many of the most important Buddhist Lists including the Noble Eight-fold Path\, the Seven Factors of Awakening\, The Five Faculties\, The Five Powers\, and the Four Bases of Success. Morning instructions on this retreat will explore effort as described in the Sammappadhāna Samyutta\, The Connected Discourses on Right Striving (SN 49.1). This brief teaching presents a flexible four-part approach to skillfully meeting situations\, in life and in formal meditation practice. \nThis retreat is appropriate for both new and experienced practitioners. It will include group meditation instructions\, dharma teachings\, and either group or individual consultations with the teacher. \nThis residential meditation retreat will be held at the Margaret Austin Center in Texas. It is mid-way between Austin and Houston. \nRegistration will open approximately 6 weeks prior to the start of the retreat. \nFor details visit the Mariposa Sangha website at: https://mariposasangha.org/residential-retreats/

SUMMARY:Effortless Mindfulness – author Lisa Dale Miller
DESCRIPTION:Effortless Mindfulness: Genuine Mental Health Through Awakened Presence\nby Lisa Dale Miller\nPublished by Routledge April 2014 \nThe event will include meditation and the author’s talk. \n \n7:30-9:00 Evening Program includes meditation and a talk. \n9:00-9:30 Reception with tea and treats. \nEffortless Mindfulness promotes genuine mental health through the direct experience of awakened presence—an effortlessly embodied\, fearless understanding of and interaction with the way things truly are. The book offers a uniquely modern Buddhist psychological understanding of mental health disorders through a scholarly\, yet clinically useful presentation of Theravada\, Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhist teachings and practices. Written specifically for Western psychotherapeutic professionals\, the book brings together traditional Buddhist theory and contemporary psycho-neuro-bio-social research to describe the conditioned and unconditioned mind. This in-depth exploration of Buddhist psychology includes complete instructions for psychotherapists in authentic yet clinically appropriate Buddhist mindfulness/heartfulness practices and Buddhist psychological inquiry skills. The book also features interviews with an esteemed collection of Buddhist teachers\, scholars\, meditation researchers and Buddhist-inspired clinicians. \nIn his foreword to the book Ron Siegel\, PhD wrote\, “In the pages that follow\, Lisa Dale Miller takes us on an integrative adventure\, exploring the intersection of ancient Buddhist teachings with modern neurobiology and clinical research and practice. While the work of many pioneers have facilitated the integration of mindfulness practices into health care and society by intentionally extracting them from their Buddhist roots\, this book offers a different service: it looks unflinchingly at Buddhist understandings of the origins of human suffering and how various meditative techniques were designed to alleviate this suffering by fostering a radical psychological liberation.” \nAnam Thubten Rinpoche wrote in his foreword\, “You will find that the scholarship and many years of meditation practice of the author are reflected on every page.  It is intellectually satisfying and also serves as a rich contemplative guide for mindfulness meditation and Buddhism in general. No matter what your background might be\, as scholar\, meditator or seeker\, you will find many valuable insights in this work. It is such a joy to see Lisa’s gift in presenting many essential Buddhist thoughts in contemporary language and making them come alive.” \nEffortless Mindfulness is available through Amazon\, B&N\, iTunes\, etc.\, in digital and paperback editions.\nPlease visit www.awakenedpresence.com for more information about the book.
