SUMMARY:Tuesday Online — Shaila Catherine — Awakening
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday Online: Awakening\nwith Shaila Catherine \nOctober 13\, 2020\n \nThis talk will consider what the transformative experience of awakening entails\, how it might be recognized\, and how a practitioner declares their attainment. \nDue to the coronavirus concerns\, we are holding our Tuesday meetings online.  \nPlease join us on Zoom. This event is appropriate for newcomers as well as experienced practitioners. The evening includes silent or guided meditation and teachings. \nTakes place on Zoom! \nJoin the Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/88266320362?pwd=QWZpb2svQk9xZCtvWTZraXF5WTFKZz09 \nMeeting ID: 882 6632 0362\nPassword: metta4all \nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,88266320362# US (San Jose)\n+12532158782\,\,88266320362# US (Tacoma) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 929 205 6099 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 882 6632 0362\nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kcSiCSJ1bl \n\nTEACHERS: Please visit our Teachers Page for biographies and photos of our speakers. \nTUESDAYS ONLINE: Due to coronavirus concerns\, we have converted our Tuesday evening meeting to an online format with teachings offered by Shaila Catherine and an array of guest teachers. This online group meets 6:30 – 8:00 PM Pacific Time\, which makes it possible for local members to join us after their workday\, and for East Coast friends to sit with us before bed. \nEveryone is welcome. Please share this event with your friends. \nDANA/DONATIONS: IMSB relies upon the generosity of participants to support our teachers and cover organizational expenses that continue whether we are meeting in-person or online. Dana is a word in the ancient Pali language that describes donations\, offerings and generosity. 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. \nPlease support our programs and teachers with your donations. We especially encourage recurring monthly donations to help us through these difficult months of the pandemic. Donations can be made through our Donation Page. Recurring donations can be made through Network for Good or PayPal. \nFUTURE IN-PERSON GATHERINGS: When it is wise to do so\, Insight Meditation South Bay anticipates continuing our program of two weekly meditation programs. On Tuesdays\, we meet in Mountain View for our drop-in weekly program of meditation and teachings. Our Tuesday evening program usually includes a sitting meditation and Dhamma talk. 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. On Thursdays\, we meet in Saratoga for our Dhamma Classroom\, for a series of structured courses with registration\, and periodic drop-in practice events.

SUMMARY:Course: From Intelligence to Intuition with Kim Allen
DESCRIPTION:If you are interested in registering for this class\, please contact the registrar (ThursdayClass) to express your interest. It has not yet been determined if this class will be offered online\, cancelled\, or meet as an in-person course in the church garden due to Covid-19 precautions.  \nA six-week course led by Kim Allen and Shaila Catherine\nCultivation of Dhamma wisdom that benefits all beings. \nThursdays\, September 10 – October 15\nPlus bonus drop-in session October 22\n7:15-9:00pm\nSilence begins at 7:00. Arrive early (around 7:00) to enjoy the optional pre-class meditation period. \nModern life in the West encourages reliance on our “analytical” mind – that which does planning\, deciding\, evaluating\, analyzing\, and debating. This aspect of mind\, when untrained\, is prone to agitation\, aversion\, anxiety\, and other undesirable qualities. It can also be used in healthy ways\, such as discerning what is wholesome\, and learning and contemplating teachings. \nThrough various meditation practices and the additional nourishment of heart qualities\, the mind learns to reduce its reliance on “reason” as a more intuitive capacity strengthens. Eventually\, our mind can manifest the intuitive wisdom\, clarity\, and responsiveness that are truly beneficial for ourselves and the world. \nThis 6-week course explores practices that can help to mature the analytical mind. Each week\, we will focus on one practice. Together\, they form a mandala of skillful means. We will also learn how these practices fit into a path to liberation in Buddhist teachings. \nClasses will include meditation\, sutta study\, teachings\, and Q&A. \n\nSept 10: Arriving in the Present Moment\, with Kim Allen\nSept 17: Working with Discursive Thinking\, with Shaila Catherine\nSept 24: Skillful Use of Reflection\, with Shaila Catherine\nOct 1: Nourishment for the Path: Opening the Heart\, with Kim Allen\nOct 8: Clear Comprehension and Dhamma Investigation\, with Kim Allen\nOct 15: Intuitive Wisdom\, with Kim Allen\nOct 22: Bonus Drop-In Session – Sitting\, Walking\, and Reflection\, with Kim Allen\n\nWHO SHOULD JOIN: This course intended for people who already have a basic introduction to mindfulness. \nCOURSE LEVELS: It is designed as a level 1-3 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 $120 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 $120 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 $50 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.
