SUMMARY:Series: Construction Of Identity
DESCRIPTION:The Construction Of Identity And The Five Clinging Aggregates. \nA Five Week Series with Shaila Catherine. \n\nJanuary 13—Focus on Matter\nJanuary 20—Focus on Feeling\nJanuary 27—Focus on Perception\nFebruary 3—Focus on Mental Formations\nFebruary 10—Focus on Consciousness\n\nThis Tuesday evening series will explore a classic Buddhist model of identity construction: the five aggregates affected by clinging. This model includes materiality\, feeling\, perception\, formations\, and consciousness. It offers meditators a powerful way to experientially realize how selfing occurs in contact with experiences\, how the psychophysical process is experienced as a self\, and how seeing things as not-self is liberating. \nEVERYONE IS WELCOME. Chairs are provided. Bring a cushion if you prefer to sit on the floor. \nIMSB relies  upon the generosity of participants to support our teachers and cover organizational expenses. Dana is a word in the ancient Pali language that describes donations\, offerings and generosity.

SUMMARY:Day-long: Mindfulness of Mind
DESCRIPTION:A day of meditation with Shaila Catherine. \nThis day-long program will explore our relationship to mental states and what is actually occurring within our own minds. Many different thoughts\, attitudes\, emotions\, and mental states arise in our lives. By cultivating mindfulness of the mind\, we learn to recognize any emotion\, reaction\, or state with clarity and balance. Mindfulness can free us from the seductive force of habitual tendencies\, and provide the opportunity to transform patterns and bring wisdom to our choices in life. \nThe program will include sitting and walking meditation\, instructions\, and opportunities for individual meetings with the teacher. This practice day is appropriate for new and experienced meditators\, drop-in participants\, and dedicated Walking the Path members. \nThere will be a pot-luck community meal at 12:30; please bring a food dish to share. \nEVERYONE IS WELCOME. Chairs are provided. Bring a cushion and mat if you prefer to sit on the floor. The floor is not carpeted.

SUMMARY:New Year's Retreat–Texas
DESCRIPTION:Two options for attendance: Saturday\, Dec. 27\, 2014 – Saturday\, Jan. 3\, 2015. \nor Partial attendance December 27\, 2014 – January 1\, 2015. \nThe theme of this silent New Year’s holiday retreat is the Four Foundations of Mindfulness (Satipatthana Sutta). Many practitioners consider the Satipatthana Sutta to be among the most important and practical teachings of the Early Discourses of the Buddha. It offers pragmatic instructions for establishing mindfulness with attention to body\, feelings\, mind\, and various dhamma objects\, and frames the practice of mindfulness with the aim of awakening. This single discourse is a rich resource for meditators at all levels of experience—from beginning meditators who seek support and structure for establishing a basic practice to advanced practitioners who wish to intensify their commitment\, clarify their goal\, and refine their skills.This silent retreat is structured with alternating periods of sitting and walking meditation\, dhamma talks\, question and answer sessions\, and teacher consultations. All levels from beginners to advanced practitioners are welcome. \nThis insight meditation retreat is sponsored and coordinated by Mariposa Sangha. \n

SUMMARY:Day-long: Mindfulness of Feeling
DESCRIPTION:A day of meditation—with Shaila Catherine. \nThis day-long program will explore our relationship to feelings—feelings that are pleasant\, unpleasant\, worldly or spiritual. Many different kinds of feelings arise in our lives. Without mindfulness we might be swept away by habitual reactions of desire\, fear\, or hatred. However\, with the cultivation of mindfulness regarding feelings\, we learn to open to whatever is actually happening in our lives and bring clarity\, wisdom\, and a balanced attention to that encounter. \nThe program will include sitting and walking meditation\, instructions\, and opportunities for individual meetings with the teacher. This practice day is appropriate for new and experienced meditators\, drop-in participants\, and dedicated Walking the Path members. \nThere will be a pot-luck community meal at 12:30; please bring a food dish to share. \nEveryone is welcome. Chairs are provided. The floor is not carpeted\, so please bring a mat and cushion if you prefer to sit on the floor.

SUMMARY:Walking the Path 2014: Developing the Four Foundations of Mindfulness - A six-month program
DESCRIPTION:Walking the Path 2014\nDeveloping the Four Foundations of Mindfulness\nA six-month program\nwith Shaila Catherine\nSaturday\, September 13\, 2014 – Saturday\, February 7\, 2015\n9:30 am – 6:00 pm \nNourish the resolve to deepen your spiritual practice! \nSeptember 13—Four Powerful Qualities\nOctober 11—Full Awareness\nNovember 8—Mindfulness of Body\nDecember 13—Mindfulness of Feeling\nJanuary 10—Mindfulness of Mind\nFebruary 7—Working with Hindrances \nWALKING THE PATH is a six-month program designed to intensify your personal meditative path and integrate dhamma wisdom in everyday life. This program gathers a group of committed practitioners to work more closely with Shaila during the year\, strengthen community\, and receive personalized guidance. The program includes monthly day-long retreats\, private interviews\, group discussions\, and the intention to attend one retreat with Shaila. \nThis year’s Walking The Path theme is inspired by the Four Foundations for Mindfulness (Satipatthana Sutta) and three recently published books by Joseph Goldstein\, Bhante Gunaratana\, and Analayo Bhikkhu that explore this discourse. Many practitioners consider the Satipatthana Sutta to be among the most important and practical teachings of the Early Discourses of the Buddha. It offers pragmatic instructions for establishing mindfulness with attention to body\, feelings\, mind\, and various dhamma objects\, and frames the practice with the aim of awakening. This single discourse is a rich resource for meditators at all levels of experience—from beginning meditators who seek support in establishing a daily practice to advanced practitioners who wish to intensify their commitment\, clarify their goal\, and refine their skills. \nPARTICIPANTS SHOULD BE WILLING TO:\n1. Maintain a daily meditation practice.\n2. Participate in our monthly day-long meditation programs in Los Altos (9:30 am – 6:00 pm).\n3. Have an individual consultation with the teacher 3-4 times during the year either in-person or on the telephone.\n4. Participate in periodic discussion groups\, most often during the last hour of each day-long program (between 5 and 6pm). \nREGISTRATION: Send registration fee of $125 made payable to ‘Bodhi-Retreats’ to Jennifer Dungan\, 565 Anza St.\, Mountain View\, CA 94041. \nInclude a note describing:\n1. How long you have been meditating & if you have attended either meditation retreats or IMSB’s Walking The Path previously.\n2. Any particular motivation for participating in this program at this time\, or anything you would like the teacher to know in advance.\n3. Include your name and complete contact information: address\, telephone\, and e-mail address. \nNo one will be turned away for lack of funds. The registration fee is intended establish a commitment and facilitate our registration process. These funds will be used for IMSB retreat scholarships to help WTP members with financial need to complete the retreat portion of the program. \nEVERYONE IS WELCOME. Chairs are provided. Bring a cushion if you prefer to sit on the floor. \nFor more information contact: sit imsb or (408) 335-6417. \nIMSB relies  upon the generosity of participants to support our teachers and cover organizational expenses.
