SUMMARY:Online Weekly Metta Meditation with Ian Challis and Friends
DESCRIPTION:When the Buddha’s followers felt anxious and afraid\, he taught them the practice of metta or lovingkindness meditation. Metta is a form of practice that helps us touch deeply into our own hearts\, uncover the energies of kindness and compassion\, and share these energies for the benefit of all beings.   \nIf you would like to explore this powerful practice\, please join Ian Challis and friends online. These 45-minute meetings will be practice-focused\, with most of the time spent in meditation. If you are new to the practice\, great! We will learn by doing. After practice\, there will be time for questions and sharing. \nCost: Donation basis; there is no charge to participate. Our center and teachers are supported by your generosity. Please give from your ability and heart. \nPlease subscribe to our mailing list for instructions on joining this online event.

SUMMARY:Meditation and Dharma Talk with Mary Stancavage (*In-person* & Online)
DESCRIPTION:This hybrid Sunday Meditation and Dharma Talk will be held simultaneously in-person and live online from 4:30 p.m. until 6 p.m.  \nThere will be time for meditation\, a dharma (teaching) talk by one of our regular or guest teachers\, and time for your comments and questions. Please join us whichever way you feel most comfortable. Everyone is welcome. \nThe in-person event will be held at Unitarian Universalist Church of the Desert in Rancho Mirage. This will be our last in-person meet up for a while. In 2023 we anticipate that all of Insight Community of the Desert’s regularly scheduled sits – those held on Sunday\, Tuesday\, Wednesday\, and Friday – will be held over Zoom only.  \nThe reason for this change is that hybrid meetings (in person meetings at UUCOD simulcast on Zoom) have been sparsely attended and require a good deal of volunteer time to produce as they involve synchronizing an on-line and in-person meeting. If you would like to help produce in-person events\, the board invites your participation in the planning and host committees. \nThe ICD board intends to organize a number of such events throughout the year – our teachers and others will continue to offer retreats and classes in the coming year. \nAbout the Teacher: Mary Stancavage \nCovid-19 Protocol \nThe UU church in Rancho Mirage is graciously offering use of their space for this event — and asks the following: \n\nProof of vaccinations is REQUIRED. You must show either a physical card\, a photocopy or a digital vaccine record. You can obtain a digital vaccine record at https://myvaccinerecord.cdph.ca.gov/\nMasks ARE REQUIRED.\nArrive early to show proof of vaccination. We will keep a list from week to week so that you only have to show proof once.\n\nDana \nCost: Donation basis. There is no charge to attend the Sunday Meditation and Dharma Talk. Please consider making a donation to support our teachers and our use of UUCODs space. You can make a donation at desertinsight.org or via the in-person dana basket. Our center and teachers are supported by your generosity. Please give from your ability and heart. \nPlease subscribe to our mailing list for instructions on joining this event online via Zoom.
