sittings in depth, while others listen. Jason will offer questions and
observations that are intended to aid the student in developing greater
awareness of what occurs during meditation. Through this process,
experienced meditators will be able to see how their meditation practice
has developed over time and what kinds of habits of mind have been
operating in their meditation. Beginners will receive instructions and
guidance suited to their particular temperament and the nature of their
meditation experiences.

Lila Kate Wheeler, November 20, 2004
|
| Event:
| Day-long retreat.
The theme for the retreat will be "The Buddha of This Moment." We
are never separate from what is true. This spiritual axiom is not
just an idea but a way of living. We have the power to connect with
our experience anytime, no matter who we are or how life happens to be
showing up in any moment. The more we can rest in experience exactly
as it is, the more we begin to relax our futile struggles and instead
appreciate the mysterious unfolding of our mind and body within the
present moment. This is the Way of great peace, bliss and ease, and
the gateway to compassion for ourselves and others.
We will come together to practice this way of being, supported by the
formal practices of Buddhist meditation. The retreat will be conducted
in silence in order to deepen awareness and reduce distraction.
Meditation instructions, question and answer periods, and individual
interviews will be offered. Bring your ordinary self, a bag lunch and
discover just how little needs to be done to reach (im)perfection!

DaeJa Napier, January 22, 2005
|
| Event:
| One-day of practice with
DaeJa Napier.
Open to students at all levels. Mindfulness and metta both
open the heart to a more authentic heart-felt connection with
ourselves and others. These practices promote a fearless presence
of mind that allows us to live with increasing balance and clarity.
The schedule will include an opening dhamma talk, instructions,
and sitting and walking meditation. The closing circle will offer
an opportunity to discuss the creative potential that mindfulness
and metta bring to our daily lives. DaeJa Napier is the founding
and guiding teacher of the
Brahma Vihara Foundation. She has studied and practiced in
various Buddhist traditions for nearly thirty years and been teaching
for sixteen years. Her root teacher is Zen Master Seung Sahn.
Although her practice and teaching have been influenced by many
teachers, she has been most profoundly inspired by her contact with
Punjaji of Lucknow and Joseph Goldstein of the Insight Meditation
Society in Barre, MA. Recently she has been in intensive practice
at The Forest Refuge in Barre, MA, under the guidance of Joseph
Goldstein and Sayadaw U Janaka. DaeJa responds to dharma students
with intuitive precision and insight mirroring nuances of the
awakening process that unfold naturally when practicing vipassana
(insight meditation) and the brahmaviharas. Her conveyance of the
Buddhist teachings reflect many qualities cultivated as a result
of maintaining a formal practice over thirty-six years of mothering
five children.

Eric Kolvig and DaeJa Napier, February 2, 2008
|
| Event:
| THE FIVE PRECEPTS: A Contemplative Retreat.
Any valid spiritual path, the Buddha said, must be founded on non-harming. The
five trainings on non-harming behavior include the intentions to
(1) honor and protect life and all living beings,
(2) refrain from taking that which is not given,
(3) be respectful in one's sexual conduct,
(4) refrain from harmful speech, and
(5) avoid intoxicants in favor of a clear and lucid mind.
These five guiding principles create an ethical foundation upon which
to build an intentional life that protects ourselves and others from
unnecessary suffering. This contemplative retreat will include a brief
talk and guided reflections on each precept. The schedule will also
include sitting and walking meditation. At the end of the day there
will be the opportunity to formally take the Five Precepts.

Sangha, March 1, 2009
|
| Event:
| Day retreat.
Kathryn, our board president, says:
The Board invites you, and all Sangha members, to a daylong retreat
to clarify our sangha's purpose and guiding principles.... The day
will include periods of silent meditation as well as dialogue.
PLEASE RSVP TO ME, kathryntswcp.com, OR TO VALERIE, valerie.roth2gmail.com, at your very earliest
convenience due to time constraints we must honor with the Norbertine
Center. This retreat will continue the work that Sangha members
initiated almost two years ago with the World Cafe dialogue and
which was brought into renewed focus in a discussion that Board
members had with Taraniya in November. In that conversation we
were inspired by our reflection that the Sangha helps us to integrate
dharma into everyday life, to live life through a dharma lens.
This is different from our current mission statement. Taraniya
suggested that we guide our sangha's dharma practice in a way that
pays homage to what it is and what it has been. She sees that our
sangha has a good foundation with structure and strong programs and
that the revisioning process is bubbling up through a natural
maturing process not because anything is broken. She sees us working
to strike a balance between providing instructions on the nuts and
bolts of the Dharma with deeper exploration and investigation into
these instructions. That is, to come at the teachings from different
angles to help integrate them into daily life. I am looking forward
to this opportunity to work together as a community to clarify our
Sangha's purpose and guiding principles. We will provide all
participants with logistical details and an agenda by February 22.
|
| When:
| March 1, 2009 (Sunday). 9:00 am to 3:30 pm.
