SUMMARY:Florida: Retreat. Path of Awakening. Reg has closed.
DESCRIPTION:Registration for this retreat has closed. The retreat is full. \nFebruary 3 – 10\, 2023\nOrlando\, Florida \nThe Path Of Awakening: Cultivating Concentration and Insight\nThis silent Insight Meditation retreat will provide instructions for developing mindfulness\, concentration\, and insight. The meditation practices will be directed toward nurturing mindfulness of body and mind\, enjoying clarity of consciousness\, understanding our habitual patterns\, inclining toward peace\, and recognizing how full awareness enhances the potential for liberating insight. Daily dharma teachings and guidance from the teacher make this retreat suitable for both new and experienced practitioners. \nRequirements: Vaccination against COVID-19 is required to attend this retreat. This retreat will follow more stringent disease prevention procedures than is currently required by public health orders. For example\, participants will be required to take covid tests prior to traveling and during the retreat\, and wear a mask in common in-door areas such as the meditation hall and lounges for part or all of the retreat. The specific measures we will require will be determined shortly before the time of the retreat as we consider the ever changing situation. Only apply for this retreat if you are willing to comply with measures such as wearing a mask and testing—these are very likely to be required. \nFor more information and registration visit the Orlando Insight Meditation Group website at: https://orlandoinsightmeditation.org/2021/09/a-week-long-meditation-retreat-led-by-shaila-catherine-february-2023/

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.
