Meditation and Dharma Talk with Ian Challis—The Ten Paramis—Dana/Generosity IN-PERSON & ONLINE
2025-09-07 10:30 - 12:00 | Mizell Center, 480 S. Sunrise Way, Palm Springs, CA, 92262, United States
The Ten Paramis are key qualities that cultivate wisdom, compassion, and liberation on the path of awakening. Drawn from Buddhist tradition, these virtues—Dana/Generosity; Sila/Ethical Conduct; Nekkhamma/Renunciation; Pañña/Wisdom; Viriya/Energy; Khanti/Patience; Sacca/Truthfulness; Adhitthana/Resolve; Metta/Lovingkindness; and Upekkha/Equanimity—offer a practical guide for living with greater integrity and clarity.In this Sunday series, beginning September 7th, we will explore each parami, reflecting on how these qualities can be developed and practiced in our daily life. Through teachings and discussion, we will see how practicing the perfections can steadily transform how we relate to ourselves and the world.
The Sunday Meditation and Dharma Talk will be held from 10:30 a.m. until noon **In-Person at the Mizell Center** and simultaneously live *Online via Zoom*. Everyone is welcome.
There will be time for meditation, a dharma (teaching) talk by one of our regular or guest teachers, and time for your comments and questions.

A Morning of Practice – An *In Person* Half-Day Retreat with Ian Challis
2025-09-20 09:15 - 12:00 | Mizell Center, 480 S. Sunrise Way, Palm Springs, CA, 92262, United States
It’s been said “if it isn’t simple, it isn’t vipassana.” This morning of practice will be an opportunity to explore (by doing) how we can keep our practice simple, enjoyable, and effective. Gentle instructions will be offered with plenty of time to “see for ourselves.” We will practice in Noble Silence, with time for questions and community. For beginning and experienced meditators alike. Everybody is welcome.
Please join us as we practice together in community and take a few hours to experience the gift of quiet practice. With our busy lives and the stress of each day, we sometimes let our practice slip away, yet it is so important to maintain, especially right now.
Location: Mizell Center, 480 S. Sunrise Way, Palm Springs, CA 92262
Reg Fee: $45 covers the cost of the day and support to ICD. Tickets are available at reduced rates of $20 and $10. No one is turned away for lack of funds.
