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/

SUMMARY:Retreat: New Year's in Texas
DESCRIPTION:A 6 night retreat with Shaila Catherine \nMindful Investigation \nAlthough meditation is renowned for promoting tranquility and mental calmness\, meditation is not passive. Investigative methods play a vital role in the skillful development of liberating insight. Specific instructions for examining the mind feature prominently in the core teachings of Satipatthana\, and many early Buddhist discourses. This insight meditation retreat will explore the fourth foundation of mindfulness with an emphasis on meditative investigation. We will examine the quality of our minds\, and come to understand how we might meet life’s experiences free from suffering.

SUMMARY:New Year's Retreat–Texas
DESCRIPTION:Two options for attendance: Saturday\, Dec. 27\, 2014 – Saturday\, Jan. 3\, 2015. \nor Partial attendance December 27\, 2014 – January 1\, 2015. \nThe theme of this silent New Year’s holiday retreat is the Four Foundations of Mindfulness (Satipatthana Sutta). Many practitioners consider the Satipatthana Sutta to be among the most important and practical teachings of the Early Discourses of the Buddha. It offers pragmatic instructions for establishing mindfulness with attention to body\, feelings\, mind\, and various dhamma objects\, and frames the practice of mindfulness with the aim of awakening. This single discourse is a rich resource for meditators at all levels of experience—from beginning meditators who seek support and structure for establishing a basic practice to advanced practitioners who wish to intensify their commitment\, clarify their goal\, and refine their skills.This silent retreat is structured with alternating periods of sitting and walking meditation\, dhamma talks\, question and answer sessions\, and teacher consultations. All levels from beginners to advanced practitioners are welcome. \nThis insight meditation retreat is sponsored and coordinated by Mariposa Sangha. \n
