SUMMARY:The Way of Meditative Warriorship
DESCRIPTION:The uncertainty of these times calls for a commitment to live the truth and love this world yearns for. During this half-day retreat\, we will explore the foundations of living a heart-centered and wakeful life. By emphasizing stillness and relaxation\, we will support the natural and fearless qualities of the heart that characterize meditative warriorship. This period will involve sitting\, walking\, and relational practices that deepen a felt sense of belonging and inspiration for the journey ahead. \nJames Nepenthe Frank is a meditation teacher and somatic healing practitioner. He began practice as a young child in the Plum Village Tradition with Thich Nhat Hanh and began formally sitting in the Western Insight tradition at the age of 15. While dedicating years of his life to silent retreat\, he serves a commitment to live this path in everyday life. He began teaching at the invitation of his teacher\, Rodney Smith. He lives in Lincoln\, Vermont.

SUMMARY:Bozeman Insight Community
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays\, 7:00 – 8:30 pm\nIn person and via Zoom \nBozeman Insight Community (BIC) is a welcoming community that offers the Buddha’s priceless teachings on wisdom and compassion to all those who seek them. Centered on a commitment to personal practice  we support the development and expression of our inherent wisdom  and compassion for the benefit of all beings. \nThe program usually begins with a short teaching to introduce the practice and provide some instruction. Then there is a lightly-guided 30-minute meditation\, followed by tea\, Q&A\, and discussion. We open and close the evening with short chants\, which are provided and completely optional. \nAll are warmly welcome to drop in and join us. No prior experience necessary. If you’d like to talk to one of the leaders prior to attending for the first time\, please email us and we’ll connect. We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our sangha. \nWhen in person\, service dogs\, lap babies and school-age children are welcome. There are places in the room and nearby where kids can hang out or do homework. Parents can relax about any disturbance this may cause – our community is not fussy about meditation rooms being super silent (ambient noise is a chance to practice with the conditions and cultivate equanimity). We’d rather have you with us than strive for “perfect” conditions (which don’t exist). \nBIC Leadership\nSangha Leader – Suzanne Colón\nCouncil Member – Rose Toth\nCouncil Member – Mary Corelli\nCouncil Member – Sarah Beirut \nFor leader and council member bios\, more information about this group\, and to see program updates\, please click this link to go to the BIC’s website.
