SUMMARY:No Meeting Tonight - Enjoy the holiday week!
DESCRIPTION:IMSB will not be meeting tonight. Enjoy the holiday week. We will resume our program in January.  \n\nInsight Meditation South Bay offers two weekly meditation groups—Tuesdays evenings is our open drop-in sitting group in Mountain View\, and Thursdays we offer structured courses in Saratoga. \nThe Tuesday sitting group meets every Tuesday evening for a meditation and Dhamma talk in Mountain View. The principal teacher is Shaila Catherine and guest speakers are featured regularly. Thematic series are periodically presented\, but whether or not a topic has been advertised in advance\, Shaila or a guest teacher will lead the sitting and offer teachings. See also weekly sitting. \nNewcomers are always welcome. To help newcomers get acquainted with mindfulness meditation and IMSB\, a senior member or teacher offers a beginner’s orientation beginning at 6:30 on the first Tuesday of each month. \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:Annual New Year's Retreat in Texas with Shaila Catherine Dec 27 - Jan 1
DESCRIPTION:December 27\, 2017 – January 1\, 2018 \nRetreat Theme: Strategies for Overcoming Distracting Thoughts \nMental restlessness is an insidious and pervasive hindrance that all practitioners struggle to overcome. We can refine our skills for working with the modes of thinking that distract us from being mindful: critical thoughts\, planning\, worrying\, lustful thoughts\, judging\, memories\, internal commentaries\, to name a few. The teachings on this retreat will present a sequence of strategies for dealing with obstructive mental patterns; these instructions will follow two discourses taught by the Buddha and recorded in the Middle Length Discourses\, (suttas 19 and 20). Practitioners will be encouraged to develop a mindfulness-based meditation practice\, while exploring these strategies for overcoming distractions.\nThis retreat is suitable for both new and experienced practitioners. \nIt will be an insight meditation residential retreat at the Margaret Austin Center in Texas. It is mid-way between Austin and Houston. \nRegistration will open approximately 6 weeks prior to the start of the retreat. \nFor details visit the Mariposa Sangha website at:  https://mariposasangha.org/strategies-overcoming-distracting-thoughts-insight-meditation-retreat-shaila-catherine/
