Out of this seeing emerges wisdom and compassion. \nIt is a moment-to-moment investigation of the mind and body process. Our experience is explored from a balanced and spacious awareness which allows the heart to flower in love. During these six weeks there will be meditation instructions\, talks about the philosophy of the practice\, homework assignments\, and time for discussion and questions. \nDates to Be Aware Of\nYour registration includes attendance at a Day of Mindfulness on Saturday\, May 18\, 2024. \nPlease note that registrations are being accepted up through the second class on April 6th.

SUMMARY:Meditation Retreat with Tim Geil & Tuere Sala
DESCRIPTION:Notice: Retreat Full\, accepting waitlist.  \nIf you are still interested in attending\, please write to BIMs Retreats at this address: bimsretreats@gmail.com and they will let you know if an opening occurs! \nDates: April 14 – April 20\, 2024 – 6 night\, 7 day retreat at Samish Island\, Washington \nRegistration: This retreat is being sponsored by Bellingham Insight Meditation Society. In order to register\, you must download the registration materials using the link below\, fill out the registration form\, and mail it to BIMS. Please Note: SIMS is not handling the registration for this retreat. \nDownload Registration Materials Here \nCultivating Insight\nInsight meditation (vipassana in Pali\, the language of the original Buddhist teachings) is the simple and direct practice of moment-to-moment mindfulness. Through careful and sustained observation\, we experience for ourselves the ever-changing flow of the mind/body process. This awareness leads us to accept more fully the pleasure and pain\, fear and joy\, sadness and happiness that life inevitably brings. \nAs insight deepens\, we develop greater equanimity and peace in the face of change\, and wisdom and compassion increasingly become the guiding principles of our lives. \nThis retreat emphasizes quieting the mind\, opening the heart\, and developing clarity and depth of practice. Traditional instructions will be combined with a spirit of lovingkindness\, silent sitting and walking meditation\, Dharma talks\, and meetings with the teachers. This retreat is for experienced as well as newer students. This retreat will be held in Noble Silence except for teacher-led practice meetings. \nRetreat Description: This residential retreat will be held at a rural retreat center south of Bellingham. The retreat location is on the water and has extensive grounds for walking. All registrants will have a cabin to themselves. There will be three simple vegetarian meals a day. \nCost of Retreat: The cost of this retreat is $545.00 (U.S. funds only). The fees charged are used to pay Camp Samish costs for room and board. Any additional money is used for ongoing BIMS programs & expenses\, including scholarships. Please fill out the registration form and send with your check to the Registrar. PayPal may also be used for payments (see below). \nTeachings are offered freely. There will be opportunities to give dana to the teachers at the retreat. Dana may also be given using these links for both Tim and Tuere: PayPal or Venmo (@tim-geil) \nScholarships: If you require a scholarship\, we are happy to help. A limited number of scholarships are available; requests are honored in the order in which they are received. \nNO SCHOLARSHIPS CAN BE GRANTED WITHOUT CONTACTING THE REGISTRAR FIRST BY EMAIL.

SUMMARY:Introductory Meditation Class Series (In-Person & Online)
DESCRIPTION:This introductory meditation class meets weekly for 6 weeks\, Sept 14-October 19 from 7-9PM\, PDT. It will meet in a hybrid setting\, both In-Person and Online simultaneously. When you register\, you will be required to choose between In-Person and Online. \nClass registration includes a Day of Mindfulness the Saturday after the last class\, October 21st. Please see dates to be aware of below. \nAbout Insight Meditation\nInsight meditation also known as mindfulness or vipassana meditation comes from the Buddhist tradition. It aims to free the mind from the distortions of self-centeredness\, negativity\, and confusion. Seeing life as a constantly changing process\, one begins to accept pleasure and pain\, fear and joy\, and all aspects of life with increasing balance and equanimity. This balanced awareness\, grounded in the present moment\, leads to stillness and a growing understanding of the nature of life. Out of this seeing emerges wisdom and compassion. \nIt is a moment-to-moment investigation of the mind and body process. Our experience is explored from a balanced and spacious awareness which allows the heart to flower in love. During these six weeks there will be meditation instructions\, talks about the philosophy of the practice\, homework assignments\, and time for discussion and questions. \nDates to Be Aware Of\nYour registration includes attendance at a Day of Mindfulness on Saturday\, October 21\, 2023. \nPlease note that registrations are being accepted up through the second class on September 21st.
