SUMMARY:The Light within the Dark: Turning towards Wholeness with Amie Diller
DESCRIPTION:The Light within the Dark: Turning towards Wholeness\nNew Years Retreat with Lama Amie Diller\nFriday 12/30/2022 – Sunday 1/1/2023\nPre-registration Required \nIn Tibetan Buddhism there is a deep appreciation for the messy\, dark\, even destructive sides of human experience. The wisdom of their myths and deities teach us that only through facing and embracing all of ourselves can we truly find our way back to wholeness\, freedom and genuine well-being. Jung called this “working with our Shadow”. In this New Year’s retreat\, even as the seasons turn from darkening to light\, through meditation\, journaling\, and movement\, we’ll explore: \nWhat is the Shadow?\nHow do we turn to meet it?\nWhy might it be important in the context of our spiritual path?\nWhat is the “Golden Shadow”?\n3-Day Retreat\, Please plan to attend all days\, no partial retreat available \nHybrid Retreat: \nLimited Capacity for In Person Retreat at Diamond Light Meditation Center in Sacramento\, CA\nRemote option available via Zoom. \nPre Registration Required: https://bookwhen.com/diamondlightsac/e/ev-s71r-20221230000000 \nSchedule\n• Friday 12/30 8:30am-6:00pm\n• Saturday 12/31 8:30am-6:00pm\n• Sunday 1/1 8:30am-5:30pm (we will end the retreat with a Fire Puja and New Year’s Celebration)\n• Optional Early Morning Meditation\n(Schedule subject to adjustments) \nRetreat Cost: $150\nScholarships available\, please email diamondlight.sac@gmail.com to request a scholarship. \nIn person attendees will be required to be vaccinated\, COVID tested (preferably PCR) within 48 hours to attend.

In 2010 she was requested to start the Diamond Light Tibetan Buddhist Center in Sacramento & in 2019 Amie received Dharma Transmission from Sensei Sokaku Kathie Fischer.  \nAmie has a deep interest in recognizing the often unacknowledged\, marginalized parts of ourselves and our culture – and learning how to skillfully invite them into our practice. As a certified nurse-midwife\, mother\, hospital chaplain\, prison\nvolunteer and “Cultivating Emotional Balance” teacher\, she enjoys encouraging students in meditation retreats\, and in taking our meditation off the cushion into the world. \n \nAnand Parikshak  is a meditation teacher with a focus on the teachings of Taoism and the cultivation of emotional wellbeing. As an Indian-American\, Anand was first taught meditation and posture from his father- the son of a yogic acrobat and Vedic educator. During his teens\, Anandtook a personal interest in meditation inspired by a connection to Nature and his main mentor\, Dr. B Bayard\, a Taoist practitioner and physician.  Additionally\, Anand has studied meditation\, qigong\, and Tai Chi Chuan with many kind Buddhist and Taoist teachers. \nWith respect to the teachings given to him\, Anand now leads and developments meditation and mindfulness based programs for individuals from all walks of life. He has been honored to teach all around the world including with prestigious institutions such as UCSF’s Osher Center\, American University’s School of International Service\, and the United States Department of State. \n \nMojo Tchudi is a clinical mental heath counselor (in training) and holistic health coach with an emphasis on psychedelic integration\, religious experiences\, and philosophy as a way of life.

SUMMARY:Tai Chi with Anand Parikshak
DESCRIPTION:Join Anand for an evening class on the Inner Alchemy of Tai Chi Chuan. During the class\, we will meditate\, practice qigong\, and explore the first movements of the Cinnabar Style Tai Chi Form.

SUMMARY:Mindfulness for Dark Times with Sunil Joseph
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays 6:30 pm- 8:30 pm\nDecember 6\, December 13\, December 20\, December 27 \nClick on the Zoom link to join: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/2247358115 \nThe beginning of winter can be challenging with the time change bringing darkness early in the evenings\, the shortening of daylight hours\, colder weather\, and a shift in our rhythms as nature slows down around us. How do we hold our hearts with care as we travel through this winter? How do we find connection and belonging while caving at home? \nEach session will be a combination of body awareness meditations and felt-sense listening practices to slow down and invite the grace/mystery that allows things to be as they are. Body awareness can withdraw energy from our busy\, stimulated minds to help us find the open space of the present moment. \nIn the words of Rachel Naomi Remen – “The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention..A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.” \nThis event is offered for free. We welcome donations you can make without hardship ($10-$20 ). This will help us cover ongoing rent for our Center\, fees to provide online services\, and supporting our teachers. Thank you.\nwww.diamondlightsac.org/donate\n–OR–\nVenmo “Diamond Light”\n–OR–\nwww.paypal.com/biz/fund?id=NMYP6MK36UBCS \nAbout Sunil Joseph: Sunil has been a student of Compassionate Communication since 2004. He graduated from BayNVC’s NVC Leadership Training in 2008. Sunil is also a certified Mindfulness Teacher. He facilitates healing and accountability programs for men incarcerated in California’s prisons. Website: myempathycoach.com.

SUMMARY:Online: Meditation in the Tibetan Tradition
DESCRIPTION:Evidence shows that even 5 minutes of meditation a day can go a long way to reduce stress\, increase happiness\, and sharpen focus. Sometimes it seems just getting to the cushion is the biggest obstacle! \nLama Tsongkhapa describes the stages of studying Dharma: first is hearing the teachings\, (or reading the texts and commentaries). The second is contemplation\, where the student reflects on what they have learned\, examines the felt meaning\, and how it relates to one’s own life. The third is meditation\, placing focused concentration on the subject\, deepening our understanding\, and achieving realizations on the truth and nature of the dharma. \nEnjoy community\, support\, and inspiration. Join long-time meditator and Tibetan Buddhist practitioner David Drabble as he shows us what it takes to set up and keep a daily practice! Each class will have instruction\, discussion\, and meditation. \nDrop-ins encouraged! \nMondays 6:30pm-7:30pm\nClick the link to join our virtual classroom: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/2247358115 \nsuggested donation: $10-$20 per class\, no one turned away for lack of funds \nhttp://www.diamondlightsac.org

SUMMARY:Healing from the Source: Vajrasattva Retreat with Rob Preece
DESCRIPTION:4-Day Online Retreat\nFriday March 4\, 2021-Monday March 7\, 2022\n7am-5pm PDT\nPlease plan to attend all days\, no partial retreat available \nSliding scale $200-$300\nScholarships available\, please email diamondlight.sac@gmail.com to request a scholarship. \nThis retreat will be open to anyone who has a background in the Tibetan tradition\, no specific empowerment is required to attend. \nSpace is limited so register now: https://bookwhen.com/diamondlightsac/e/ev-s8ku-20220304000000 \nWe each have within us an innate source of health\, vitality and wisdom known as our Buddha Nature. In the Tantric tradition we can awaken a relationship to this source of healing through the practice of Vajrasattva. This retreat offers an opportunity to experience the extraordinary nature of this way of healing and\, combined with the practices of Mahamudra and Kum Nye\, it can begin to enable the liberation and transformation of the energy of emotions\, stress and tension held in the body. \nTraditionally the practice of Vajrasattva is one of the preliminary practices for Tantra. It is regarded as profound foundation of awakening to our innate nature that can become a resource throughout our life. The practice of Mahamudra opens us to the innate\, pristine nature of the the mind and the experience of non-duality.The practice of Kum Nye is valuable in deepening our capacity for meditation and freeing energy that can become stuck within sitting practice.\n​\nDuring this retreat we will also begin to explore the practices associated with the cultivation of Tummo or “inner heat” and will be particularly appropriate for those who have worked with Rob before. We will be exploring the healing potential of this practice as it opens up our relationship to the energy body. \nThis retreat is for those who have some experience of meditation within the Buddhist tantric tradition\, it is not considered an introduction for those without experience. Anyone wishing to attend who has not worked with Rob before may be asked to give some clarification of their background of practice. \n \nRob Preece\nRob has been a practicing Tibetan Buddhist since 1973. In 1980 he went to India and was in retreat for around five years exploring in depth the practice of tantra\, meditating under the guidance of his teachers Lama Thubten Yeshe\, Gen Jhampa Wangdu and Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Returning to the West\, in 1985 he began a Jungian based psychotherapy training\, gradually developing a synthesis of Jungian and Buddhist understanding. He worked as a psychotherapist for around 28 years and then began to focus upon spiritual mentoring. Since 1985 he has been leading meditation retreats\, following the influence of Lama Yeshe who particularly encouraged his integration of a more Western approach to tantric practice.

SUMMARY:A Skillful Approach to Emotions with Sunil Joseph
DESCRIPTION:A Skillful Approach to Emotions with Sunil Joseph\n4 Tuesdays January 4th\, 11th\, 18th\, and 25th; 6:30pm-8:00pm \nHow to Attend:\nThis class will be in-person and online (Sunil will be teaching online from home).\nIn person: 2791 24th Street Room 14\, Sacramento CA 95818 (upstairs\, parking lot in back)\nBe sure to follow the Diamond Light COVID-Protocols.\nJoin live online with Zoom: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/2247358115\n(Meeting ID: 224 735 8115) \nDescription:\nWhat if our emotions were messengers from a deeper intelligence attempting to guide us to fulfillment? Emotions are generally viewed as irrational\, confusing\, challenging\, disruptive\, threatening\, unreliable\, messy\, etc. This is caused\, in large part\, by the fact that we are not taught how to listen to our emotions and understand their messages. Emotions are the currency of human relationships. Our ability to navigate our emotions and the emotions of our loved ones has a direct impact on the quality of all our relationships and thus our lives.\nIn this class\, we will introduce Marshall Rosenberg’s model of emotions as messengers helping us enrich life within self and others. This class will deepen both your cognitive vocabulary and your somatic (bodily) awareness of emotions. It will introduce Rosenberg’s method of compassionate inquiry into emotions to discover their underlying life-serving messages. About 20% of our class time will be spent on theory related to the model. The remaining 80% of our time will be invested in experiential learning. Please bring some paper and something to write with. You are encouraged to experiment with the model and make your own conclusions about its value in your life. No prior knowledge or experience is necessary. All are welcome. You can drop-in to one or more sessions if you cannot attend the whole series since the core principles will be woven into each session. \nCost:\nSuggested donation of $10-$20 per class to cover the cost of the class and support the teacher. No one turned away for lack of funds. You can give online: https://www.diamondlightsac.org/donate/ or through our business page on Venmo (@diamondlight)\nFor more info: http://www.diamondlightsac.org or email diamondlight.sac@gmail.com \nAbout Sunil:\nI have been a student of empathy-based approaches\, including Nonviolent Communication (NVC)\, Mindfulness\, etc.\, since 2004. I completed BayNVC’s NVC Leadership training in 2008 and have been sharing NVC with groups and individuals since then. I completed the 2-year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program offered by Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach in 2021. I am currently a trainee facilitator with GRIP Training Institute\, grip-traininginstitute.org\, which offers a 1-year healing and accountability program to incarcerated populations.

SUMMARY:Mahaprajapati: The Woman Who Raised the Buddha with Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:Mahaprajapati: The Woman Who Raised the Buddha \nTuesday December 7\, 6:30pm-8:00pm\nThis class will be in-person and online (Diane will be teaching online from home). \nHow to attend: \nIn person: 2791 24th Street Room 14\, Sacramento CA 95814 (upstairs\, parking lot in back)\nBe sure to follow the Diamond Light COVID-Protocols.\nJoin live online with Zoom: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/2247358115\n(Meeting ID: 224 735 8115) \nFor more info: http://www.diamondlightsac.org\nMahaprajapati was the Buddha’s mother (actually his aunt who nurtured and raised him).  Oddly\, little was written about her or her influence over her son\, or the establishment of the female sangha — both lay and monastic.  Ancient stories about her made their way to China\, Sri Lanka\, Tibet and Thailand but were excluded from the Pali Canon except for one volume\, the Therigatha – “versus of the elder nuns.” Her life experience\, her approach to teaching and her relationship with the women of her sangha was generally ignored by the monks of her time\, and even now.  New research and access to ancient “herstory” are now slowly becoming available.  What this new information offers is a picture of a compassionate woman\, a gifted leader — who was beloved by her entire community.  Mahaprajapati and her community of women had to approach the Dharma with a different sensibility due to the misogyny of that time. Their approach to the Dharma\, which we will discuss\, may be what is needed in today’s world as Buddhism continues to evolve. \nCost: Suggested donation of $10-$20 per class to cover the cost of the class and support the teacher. No one turned away for lack of funds. You can give online: https://www.diamondlightsac.org/donate/ or through our business page on Venmo (@diamondlight) \nAbout the teacher:\n \nDIANE WILDE (Community Teacher and Buddhist Minister)\nDIANE WILDE was born in Verona N.J. In her mid-twenties\, she moved to California where she married\, had two sons\, and was a small business owner for thirty-five years. In 2001 she was a founding member of Sacramento Insight Meditation. In 2003 she began attending yearly Vipassana silent retreats\, and also began annual thirty day silent solo self-retreats at her home.  Her eldest son was sentenced to prison on drug related charges just prior to her husband’s death. This event caused her to volunteer in prison as a meditation teacher for over eighteen years.  She became a Buddhist prison chaplain and in 2010 founded Buddhist Pathways Prison Project (aka Boundless Freedom Project). She completed a two year mentorship program at Sacramento Insight Meditation in 2006 where she is currently a Community Dharma Teacher.  She is a 2008 graduate of Sati Center’s Buddhist Chaplaincy program and in 2012 graduated from Spirit Rock Meditation Center’s Community Dharma Leadership Training Program. In 2015 after two additional years of study\, she was lay-ordained as a Buddhist minister by Gil Fronsdal. Her Pali/ordination name is Reverend Vimuttipala\, meaning “Defender of Freedom.”  She is a board member of Sati Center for Buddhist Studies in Redwood City\, as well as the Sacramento Dharma Center.
