SUMMARY:Meditation and Dharma Talk with Ian Challis—The Ten Paramis—Dana/Generosity  IN-PERSON & ONLINE
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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. \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. \nAbout the Teacher: Ian Challis \nDana \nCost: Donation basis. There is no charge to attend the Sunday Meditation and Dharma Talk. Please consider making a donation at desertinsight.org to support our teachers and community.

SUMMARY:A Morning of Practice – An *In Person* Half-Day Retreat with Ian Challis
DESCRIPTION: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.

SUMMARY:Meditation and Dharma Talk with Ian Challis—The Ten Paramis—Metta/Lovingkindness  IN-PERSON & ONLINE
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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. \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. \nAbout the Teacher: Ian Challis \nDana \nCost: Donation basis.

SUMMARY:Fall Gratitude Potluck with Ian Challis\, Jokai Blackwell & Mary Stancavage - IN-PERSON & ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:Date: November 16\, 2025 \nTime: 10.30 a.m. – Noon \nWhere: Mizell Center\, Palm Springs & online \nWho: Everyone! \nICD’s FALL GRATITUDE POTLUCK \nIt’s time to come together to celebrate Gratitude and the Insight Community Sangha! \nThe program is quite simple: there will be a 15-minute sit\, 15 minutes for a few words from our teachers\, and an hour to enjoy food and company. The first 30 minutes of the celebration will have a Zoom option. You don’t need to RSVP and we encourage you to bring friends. \nICD will provide drinks\, cups and plates\, and we hope you will bring a treat to share with friends. We don’t have access to a kitchen\, so please bring items that don’t need preparation. Also\, please bring utensils if necessary to serve your dish. \nBut don’t feel that you need to bring something to celebrate! Come as you are\, bring something or not\, and please invite a friend! \nF A Q \nDo I need to RSVP? \nNo\, and feel free to bring a friend (or two). \n Which room at Mizell will we be using? \nLuckily\, we will be able to use the dining room\, which we pass through to get to the smaller of our regular meeting rooms.  There will be\, in other words\, plenty of seats and space to mill about. \nHow much food should I expect? \nThink snacks\, not a full meal.  ICD will provide drinks and cups as well as small plates and napkins and we invite sangha members to bring something to share. \n If I want to bring something\, what should I bring? \nWe will not have access to a kitchen\, you should bring something that does not require assembly.  Handheld snacks are ideal! \nIs there a signup sheet to bring treats? \nNo\, we are trusting that serendipity will result in a delightful\, though limited\, array of options.  \nI still have questions \nReach out to a board member: info@desertinsight.org \nDana \nCost: Donation basis. There is no charge to attend the Sunday Meditation and Dharma Talk. Please consider making a donation at desertinsight.org to support our teachers and community. Please give from your ability and heart. \nDirections to the Party: \nMizell Center\, 480 S Sunrise Way\, Palm Springs\, CA 92262 \nGoogle Maps \nJoin Zoom Meetinghttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/81581516374?pwd=ck05SElLelNLeU80ek44UnZuQjhsZz09Meeting ID: 815 8151 6374Passcode: ICDOne tap mobile+16694449171\,\,81581516374# US+16699009128\,\,81581516374# US (San Jose)Dial by your location        +1 669 444 9171 US        +1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)        +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)        +1 719 359 4580 US        +1 253 205 0468 US        +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)        +1 386 347 5053 US        +1 507 473 4847 US        +1 564 217 2000 US        +1 646 558 8656 US (New York)        +1 646 931 3860 US        +1 689 278 1000 US        +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)        +1 305 224 1968 US        +1 309 205 3325 US        +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)        +1 360 209 5623 USMeeting ID: 815 8151 6374
