SUMMARY:Online – Obstacles to Concentration: Registration March 1- April 27
DESCRIPTION:Overcoming Obstacles to Concentration \nMarch 1 – April 27: Registration period\nMay 3 – July 27: Course includes 6 content modules in ten-day sections\, plus welcome and wrap up modules. \nMeditation practice cultivates inner peace\, clarity\, concentration and joy. In order to experience these lovely qualities\, we must overcome the challenges of agitation\, dullness\, obsessive thinking\, physical pain\, difficult emotions\, and reactivity. In this course we will identify\, investigate\, and learn to skillfully overcome obstacles to concentration and insight. Through inquiry into how the mind functions we will recognize the presence\, absence\, and causal conditions for hindrances\, and transform habitual patterns that might obstruct wholesome states. Once the obstacles have been understood and overcome\, the path to deep and stable states of concentration will be clear\, and mindfulness of the processes of mind and body will be firmly established. \nThe course will include recorded lectures and guided meditations\, reading assignments\, sutta study\, discussion forums\, audio conferences with the teacher\, and a library of resources. This course is suitable for all levels of experience. \nOvercoming Obstacles to Concentration is the first in a series on cultivating concentration\, and is a pre-requisite for participation in successive courses. Additional courses in this series will include Cultivating the Jhana Factors\, Deepening Concentration\, and Jhanas as the Basis for Insight. \nFor more information and registration details visit BodhiCourses.org

SUMMARY:Developing a Kind Heart
DESCRIPTION:Developing a Kind Heart – A series that will open the heart and bring balance in relationships. \nThis series will nurture the development of four profound qualities of heart: loving-kindness\, compassion\, joy\, and equanimity. These four qualities express a powerful and immeasurable intention of kindness toward ourselves and all beings. They are traditionally called the Divine Abodes (Brahma Viharas) or dwellings of the gods. When these qualities are well developed the heart-mind will be liberated from ill will\, cruelty\, envy\, expectation and demand—one will dwell with a pure “divine” perception of all things. \nEveryone is welcome. No registration is required. Chairs are provided\, but bring a sitting mat and cushion if you prefer to sit on the floor; it is not carpeted. \n\nMarch 5 – Loving Kindness with Kim Allen\nMarch 12 – Compassion with Cheryl Branco\nMarch 19 – Empathetic Joy with Berget Jelane\nMarch 26 – Equanimity with Angie Boissevain\nApril 2 – Community Practice: Sitting and walking meditation with Sharon Allen\n\nSpeaker biographies are posted on our Teachers Page. \nEveryone is welcome. Chairs are provided. Bring a cushion and mat if you prefer to sit on the wood 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. Two bowls will be available at an 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. All donations are tax deductible as permitted by law.

SUMMARY:Online – Obstacles to Concentration: Registration opens
DESCRIPTION:Overcoming Obstacles to Concentration \nMarch 1 – April 27: Registration period\nMay 3 – July 31: Course includes 6 content modules in ten-day sections\, plus welcome and wrap up modules. \nMeditation practice cultivates inner peace\, clarity\, concentration and joy. In order to experience these lovely qualities\, we must overcome the challenges of agitation\, dullness\, obsessive thinking\, physical pain\, difficult emotions\, and reactivity. In this course we will identify\, investigate\, and learn to skillfully overcome obstacles to concentration and insight. Through inquiry into how the mind functions we will recognize the presence\, absence\, and causal conditions for hindrances\, and transform habitual patterns that might obstruct wholesome states. Once the obstacles have been understood and overcome\, the path to deep and stable states of concentration will be clear\, and mindfulness of the processes of mind and body will be firmly established. \nThe course will include recorded lectures and guided meditations\, reading assignments\, sutta study\, discussion forums\, audio conferences with the teacher\, and a library of resources. This course is suitable for all levels of experience. \nOvercoming Obstacles to Concentration is the first in a series on cultivating concentration\, and is a pre-requisite for participation in successive courses. Additional courses in this series will include Cultivating the Jhana Factors\, Deepening Concentration\, and Jhanas as the Basis for Insight. \nFor more information and registration details visit BodhiCourses.org

SUMMARY:Self and Not-Self - Study Weekend in Barre\, MA
DESCRIPTION:Self and Not-Self: Five clinging aggregates and the construction of identity.\nwith Shaila Catherine. \nThis weekend program is an in-depth exploration of the formations that construct identity. We will focus on the traditional model of the five aggregates affected by clinging—materiality\, feeling\, perception\, formations\, consciousness. This model offers meditators a powerful way to experientially realize how selfing occurs in contact with experiences. Exploring the five aggregates can refine our meditative experience and clarify the most potent objects for vipassana contemplation. The program will include sutta study and discussion\, blended with experiential reflections and guided meditations to reveal how the psychophysical process is experienced as a self\, and how seeing things as not-self is liberating. \nRegistration is required.\nFor more information visit https://www.bcbsdharma.org

SUMMARY:Daylong: Liberating Mindfulness
DESCRIPTION:A day of meditation with Shaila Catherine.\n\nThis day-long event will explore the fourth foundation of mindfulness (Satipatthana)\, variously referred to as mental objects\, dhammas\, or phenomena. This fourth foundation extends the awareness of body and mind to include the functions\, causes\, and interrelationships of states. We become aware of how various mental states condition the mind\, how we relate to the experiences of life\, and how states either aid or hinder our spiritual progress. Mindful investigation is the key to the development of liberating knowledge.\n\nThe day-long program 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 if you prefer to sit on the floor.

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. Two bowls will be available at an 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. All donations are tax deductible as permitted by law.
