SUMMARY:"Wise Mindfulness": 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. \nInsight Community of the Desert will continue to be able to experience the gifts of sangha through in-person practice and teaching one Sunday per month. Upcoming in-person events will be held at Unitarian Universalist Church of the Desert in Rancho Mirage. \nWe will meet both online and in-person on the *third Sunday of every month at 4:30 p.m.* Our in-person meet up next month will take place on December 18th. Join us whichever way you feel most comfortable. Everyone is welcome. \nSundays in October & November: the Noble Eightfold Path\nBuddhist dharma invites us toward the joys of liberation and peace. In our practice we incline the mind and heart toward freedom\, and it is a gradual (yet sure) process with a path. The teachings offer us what the Buddha called the Noble Eightfold Path: eight interdependent and synergistic areas of practice that together lead us toward true happiness: Wise View\, Intention\, Speech\, Action\, Livelihood\, Effort\, Mindfulness\, and Concentration.Starting Sunday\, October 2\, and proceeding week by week\, we will carefully investigate each location on the path as a deep teaching and uncover practical tools we can use right now to free our minds and hearts.  \nToday’s topic: Wise Mindfulness\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: 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.

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.
