SUMMARY:Mindfulness and the Addiction Economy with Dave Smith
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\nThursday\, March 27 6:30-8 PM\nMindfulness is everywhere\, everyone seems to know what it means and maybe that’s the problem. While mindfulness maintains deep roots in the Buddhist tradition\, like many things it has been watered down by the mainstream and is close to ruin. While our devices have become weapons of mass distraction\, the attention economy is over\, we lost\, welcome to the addiction economy. Everyone is addicted\, we all know it\, but few will admit it\, yet we all seem to accept it. Turning inward and taking an honest look at our pain and dissatisfaction and coming to terms with what fuels are addiction is our only hope. This is accomplished through the development of mindfulness. Therefore\, mindfulness is the means\, not the end. \nDuring the evening session\, Dave will offer perspectives on how to use our mindfulness as skillfully as we can! All Welcome!

SUMMARY:The Noble Search with Chaim Bryski
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 15\n11AM – 4:30 PM\nWhile myths and legends abound surrounding the life of the historical Buddha (Pāli: Siddhattha Gotama; Skt: Siddhārtha Gautama)\, much of the traditional folklore began appearing only centuries after the Buddha’s lifetime. Yet the earliest Buddhist discourses (as collected in the Pāli Canon and its Chinese and Sanskrit parallels)\, focused as they are on the content of his teachings\, contain no comprehensive biography of the Buddha. \nRather\, scattered throughout these many thousands of discourses\, we find numerous snippets of autobiographical narrative attributed to the Buddha himself. In these first-person accounts\, often shared with his audiences for didactic purposes\, the Buddha recounts a number of his own early-life experiences on his path to awakening\, as a means of imparting some of the hard-won lessons and insights he gained over the course of his personal struggles and breakthroughs. \nDuring this daylong study and practice program\, we will examine a number of these ancient texts\, explore their practical lessons and insights\, and discuss and reflect upon their relevance and application to our own lives. \nTo enhance our exploration of the texts\, the day will also incorporate short dharma talks and guided meditation practices\, as well as periods of group discussion\, peer-based dialogue\, and personal reflection. \n*Please note that all participants will receive a collection of the relevant texts we will be exploring. Hard copies of the material will be available to those attending in-person at the Bozeman Dharma Center\, while those joining online will receive a digital PDF copy via email.” \n \nAbout Chaim: \nChaim is a Dharma teacher\, mindfulness instructor\, and trauma practitioner. Integrating Buddhist teachings & practices with modern healing modalities\, his approach is fueled by a deep curiosity about what it means to be human — mentally\, emotionally\, somatically\, and relationally — and how we can tap into and expand our innate capacities for healing\, growth\, and connection to live more authentic\, meaningful lives.

SUMMARY:Poetry from Emptiness with Kerry Neal
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, February 16\n2:30-3:30 PM\nA small group is sitting in silence.\nSomeone claps their hands and\nspeaks a line of poetry.\nMore silence until\na responding line of poetry arises\nin the mind of another\nwho then claps their hands\nand speaks that line.\nReturn to empty mind.\nContinue. \n\nPoetry from Emptiness is a technique from the Daoist literary tradition of China. It promotes creative friendship through shared verbal images and the pleasure of just quietly sitting in tranquility. \n\nNo right\, no wrong\njust thoughts that continue\na cascade of images. \n\nYou do not have to think of yourself as a poet to enjoy Poetry from Emptiness. You only need to be open\, curious\, contemplative and spontaneous. Poetry from Emptiness is not based on a philosophy or religion. It only requires a mind empty of preconceptions.

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:Tergar New Year Online Meditation Retreat
DESCRIPTION:New Year Meditation Retreat\nwith Tergar Guides\nSaturday\, January 18\n8 AM – 11 AM\nwith Q&A from 11-11:30\nSocial time afterward\nTergar Bozeman is excited to stream this retreat offered by Tergar.org. This retreat is free and open to everyone and donations are gratefully accepted for the BDC and Tergar Bozeman sangha. Please register (at no charge) so that we know how many to expect. \nThis is a great opportunity to get a taste of Mingyur Rinpoche’s view of meditation from the ancient teachings of the two linages of which he is a Master. That being that we are already whole and complete\, we are not broken.  Through these practices we recognize our innate love and compassion from a place of self discovery. \n“Working with awareness\, compassion\, and wisdom\, we open our hearts and minds\, rippling out towards a more joyful and peaceable world.” — Mingyur Rinpoche \n  \n \n\n\nFROM TERGAR.ORG:\nStarting a new year is not just about changing the calendar — it’s a chance to redefine ourselves and align our actions with the visions we have for the future. The turn of the year brings a renewed sense of energy\, a fresh slate for our aspirations\, and an opportunity to embrace practices that nurture growth in every aspect of our lives. To make the most of this transition\, we need to balance ambitious goals with thoughtful\, purposeful routines that pave the way for these dreams to become reality. \nWHY SHOULD I ATTEND?\nThis retreat will offer reflections and practices to help you set the aspirations that will chart the way for the year to develop. You will meet with fellow practitioners from around the globe coming together to practice awareness\, compassion\, and wisdom\, and you will also hear from our instructors about their own experiences practicing with these qualities. \nWHAT WILL I LEARN?\nIn this program\, you will explore and establish a deeper understanding of your own innate awareness\, love and compassion\, and wisdom — setting a foundation for your commitments to yourself and the world in the year to come. \nWHAT IS INCLUDED IN THIS PROGRAM?\nThis event will include: \n\nA New Year video from Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche\nA talk about the importance of aspirations by a Tergar guide\nGuided meditation on awareness\, compassion\, and wisdom
