SUMMARY:Karma Cafe
DESCRIPTION:6 sessions on Mondays\, June 29\, 2020 to September 28\, 2020 @ 6:30 – 8 pm.\n\n\n\nTopics\n\n\n\nJune 29: AgingJuly 13: AgingJuly 27: SicknessAugust 10: SicknessSeptember 7: DeathSeptember 28: Death\n\n\n\nYou are warmly invited to join Louise Lambert at the Karma Café. The program’s intention is to provide an opportunity for individuals to share experiences and views on the challenges of aging\, sickness\, and death. According to legend\, upon first having witnessed these inescapable human experiences\, the young Prince Siddhartha—the future Buddha—found an impetus to begin his search for awakening\, for a way out of suffering. \n\n\n\nToday\, those of us beyond our youth are also faced with these same challenges. And that is what led ICD to create Karma Café as a means of coming together in a supportive\, compassionate\, and caring environment to discuss these vital subjects. In a spirit of clarity\, please note that the program is not intended to be a grief support or counseling group. \n\n\n\nPlease register in advance for each session of the Karma Café: \n\n\n\n\nRegister \n\n\n\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. Please save the email. The link you receive is unique to you. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCost: While this new program is free of charge\, dana is welcomed to support the Center.

SUMMARY:Deepen Your Practice: Group Interview Sessions with Cheryl Slean
DESCRIPTION:Take your meditation and dharma understanding to the next level with monthly online group interviews with Cheryl. The meetings will be similar to group interviews at a retreat\, where several people meet together with the teacher to get feedback on their practice questions and reports. This is an opportunity for serious meditators with a regular practice to receive individual guidance from an experienced meditation teacher\, as well as learning from others’ interactions with the teacher. \n\n\n\nAll experience levels are welcome\, as long as participants have a daily meditation practice and a commitment to attend silent retreats when conditions allow. \n\n\n\nCost:  This program is being offered on a dana (generosity donation) basis.  More than ever\, we see how deeply interrelated we are. Supporting our sangha and our teachers through the practice of dana is an act of wisdom\, compassion\, and love. Thank you. \n\n\n\nPre-registration is required for each class. A one hour class will allow Q&A with 6-8 people\, chosen first come\, first served from the registration list. To allow for no-shows\, we will slightly over-book the class. Any registrants who are not heard due to time will be offered the option to go to the top of the list for the next meeting. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. Please save the email. The link you receive is unique to you. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Teacher\n\n\n\n Cheryl Slean has practiced Insight meditation intensively since 1995\, including hundreds of days of silent retreat. She was authorized to teach in 2007 and leads classes and residential retreats worldwide.
