SUMMARY:Non-residential Weekend Retreat with Shaila Catherine - San Luis Obispo\, CA
DESCRIPTION:Strategies for Overcoming Distracting Thoughts: Practical Wisdom from the Middle Length Discourses\nMental restlessness is an insidious and pervasive hindrance that practitioners struggle to overcome. We can refine our skills for working with the modes of thinking that distract us from being mindful and attentive: critical thoughts\, planning\, worrying\, lustful thoughts\, judging\, memories\, and internal commentaries\, to name a few. The teachings on this weekend retreat are based on two discourses in the Middle Length Discourses (suttas 19 and 20). They present a sequence of strategies for dealing with obstructive mental patterns that can arise during mindfulness and concentration practice as well as daily activities.

SUMMARY:Non-residential Weekend Retreat – San Luis Obispo\, CA
DESCRIPTION:Two days of meditation near the coast with Shaila Catherine \nParticipants may join for Saturday and/or Sunday. \nSaturday’s Theme: \nMeditative Investigation\nAlthough meditation is renowned for promoting tranquility and mental calmness\, meditation is not passive. Investigative methods play a vital role in the skillful development of liberating insight. The core teachings of Satipaṭṭhāna include specific instructions for examining the quality of mind and causality. This daylong program will emphasize the development of the awakening factor of investigative discrimination\, explore the fourth establishment of mindfulness (satipaṭṭhāna) with an emphasis on meditative investigation. We will examine the quality of our minds in order to understand how we might meet life’s experiences free from suffering. \nSunday’s Theme:\nInvestigating the Nature of Mind\nWe live with an active and functioning minds. But people rarely take the time to look beyond the content and stories that occupy mental activity\, and instead examine the basic nature of their own minds\, which is free from the distorting perceptions of self. This program will encourage an inquiring attitude to explore subjectivity\, to observe the formation of self-concepts\, and to distinguish between the thinking activity of mind\, and the empty nature of mind. We will use sitting and walking meditation practices to cultivate unbiased observation of mind-body processes. We will employ contemplative questions to pursue subtle inquires that may bewilder the analytical mind. We will consistently practice letting go of all assumptions. We will deconstruct assumptions of self\, and intentionally dwell recognizing space and emptiness in our meditation. The teachings will point to our potential for the complete release of attachments and suffering\, while giving careful attention to the ordinary and immediate functioning of present moment sensory experience. \nFor registration and details visit: https://www.whiteheronsangha.org \n
