SUMMARY:Mindfulness & Meditation - A Drop-In Class
DESCRIPTION:An Evening for Meditation Practice\nMindfulness Meditation: A drop-in evening for meditation practice. \nLed by Janetti Marotta \nDrop-in practice evenings are an opportunity for meditators to practice under the guidance of experienced mindfulness instructors. These sessions allow curious newcomers to gain a first-hand experience of mindfulness meditation. Experienced practitioners will enjoy the opportunity to deepen their practice with an evening of sitting and walking meditations. These evening sessions will emphasize guided meditations and experiential mindfulness activities. Each session will include instruction in sitting meditation\, walking meditation\, or other mindful movement practices\, and practical meditative skills. Everyone is welcome. \nVisit our Events Calendar for a schedule of programs. \nThese Mindfulness Meditation evenings are led by Shaila Catherine\, Sharon Allen\, or a skilled guest teacher. For pictures and biographies of our teachers\, visit our Teacher Page. \nNewcomers are welcome. Chairs are provided. Bring a mat or cushion if you prefer to sit on the wood floor. Registration is not required. \nDANA DONATIONS: IMSB 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. A basket will be available at this event to practice dana for the teacher and IMSB. We encourage you to give joyfully and generously\, according to your resources and means. IMSB is a 501(c) (3) organization. Donations are tax deductible as permitted by law.

SUMMARY:Course: Working Skillfully with Anger
DESCRIPTION:A 6-week workshop on letting go \nLed by Sharon Allen and Shaila Catherine \nThursdays\, June 20 – August 8\, 2019\n7:15 pm to 9:00 pm\nSilence begins at 7:00\nArrive early (around 7:00) to enjoy the optional pre-class meditation period. \nAnger is a powerful emotion. When unchecked and unexamined\, anger has enormous potential to harm relationships and lead to deep personal suffering. This six-week course will show you how\, instead of hating yourself for getting angry\, you have the potential to observe the emotion\, understand how it functions\, learn to let it go\, and watch it lead to forgiveness.\nThe course is based on teachings presented in the anthology All The Rage. This anthology includes short inspiring essays from thirty contemporary Dharma teachers who practice Theravada\, Zen\, or Tibetan styles of Buddhism. They share their reflections and struggles to face their anger\, and learn to live at peace while fully engaged in this complex modern world. \nRequired Reading: All The Rage: Buddhist Wisdom on Anger and Acceptance. A comprehensive Buddhist anthology edited by Andrea Miller (2014) \nWHO SHOULD JOIN: This course is open to all practitioners. \nCOURSE LEVELS: It is designed as a level 1-2 course. Click this link for a key to course level designations. \n\nVisit our Teacher Page for teacher biographies and photographs. \nREGISTRATION: Registration is required for this course. Registration fees are non-refundable. To register\, select an option under the Tickets heading at the bottom of this page. (If you are viewing this page more than two months in advance of the course\, the Tickets heading might not yet appear\, so please check again later.) To register for a course\, you purchase one ticket\, which registers you for the entire class series. You only need to register once; you do not need to register separately for each class session. \nCourse Fee: The sliding scale fee range is from $360 to $90 and will be shared between IMSB and the teacher(s). The lower end of the sliding scale is intended for those with limited financial means. The low rate of $90 is estimated to cover the most basic costs such as rent and insurance for the specific class period. This base rate does not factor in compensation for teachers or ongoing administrative expenses for IMSB. If you pay at the mid to high range of the sliding scale\, your generosity supports those with limited income in attending our programs and also supports IMSB and the teachers\, enabling the dhamma to thrive in the South Bay area. We encourage you to choose the highest level that is appropriate for your economic situation. \nScholarship Assistance: A scholarship rate of $45 is offered for those with very limited financial means. If you need additional assistance\, or if you would like to volunteer to help out\, please inquire with the registrar by contacting ThursdayClass. \nTax Deductions: The basic registration fee is not tax deductible. Donations above the base rate will be considered voluntary contributions and are deductible for any amount that is over the base rate. Each January\, the IMSB treasurer sends donors letters that acknowledge the amount given for the previous year that is above the basic rate; this serves as documentation for tax deduction purposes. \nCancellation Policy: All fees and payments are non-refundable. If it becomes necessary to cancel participation in a course\, and the registrar is notified prior to the start of the first class meeting\, your registration fee will be converted into a voucher creditable towards the fee for a future IMSB Thursday class. Vouchers must be used within one year of the initial course start date\, and may be transferred to only one future course. Cancellations that occur after the start of the first class are not eligible for the voucher credit.
