SUMMARY:Redwood Grove Meditation (In-Person\, Nature-Based Practice)
DESCRIPTION:Nature calls us into ourselves—into natural rhythms\, into listening\, into seeing what is alive. With gentle encouragement to be present\, to let the busyness of our minds settle\, and to allow the power of nature to bring us back to ourselves in stillness\, movement and sharing with each other\,  Amma Thanasanti will let the power of nature\, awareness\, guide the day. \nWe’ll meet at the bench at the Big Trees trail head leaving to walk to the site together at 4:30 PM. \n \nWe’ll be gathering in a quiet grove in Joaquin Miller Regional Park\, in Oakland. This is a different venue from where we met in May. It’s a gentle walk on level ground for about one quarter a mile to the site. \nWe’ll settle beneath the redwood canopy. Starting with a circle\, alternating sitting/lying down meditation with walking/movement meditation and ending with discussion.  Unlike the photo\, we’ll be in a cleared\, moderately flat area. (With foot traffic nearby.) \nWe will be invited to turn our phones off for the time together. \nWhat to bring: \n\nA mat/ cushions/ bench to sit on\nA blanket/tarp\nLong pants and socks\nBug repellent\nLayers for the cool air\nA water bottle\n\nDrinking water will be available nearby. However the closest restrooms are in Roberts Regional Park\, 30 minutes walk away. \nThis is a dana-based retreat. Dana means generosity. It is based on the principle that teachings\, opportunities to practice and communities that practice together are priceless. You’re warmly invited to give what is generous\, affordable\, and meaningful here. \nThis is an invitation to return to presence\, held by the forest\, the earth and the company of others seeking the same.

SUMMARY:Enhancing Goodness Together: IMP Online Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Mark your calendars—this is a first. \nFor the first time ever\, members from IMP Cohorts 1 and 2 are gathering for a weekend retreat that brings together everything we’ve been learning in the Integrated Meditation Program with a new dimension: SHINE. \nWhat is SHINE?\nSHINE is a practice Amma developed to help us actively enhance positive qualities—love\, joy\, delight\, connection\, aliveness. It complements the deep healing work of IMP and the emotional inquiry of RAIN. As meditators\, we often become skilled at being dukkha sniffers—noticing what’s painful or difficult. In this retreat\, we’re making space for joy to be just as real\, just as important. \nWhy This Retreat?\nHealing isn’t complete when we’ve only processed our pain. Integration also means cultivating what feels good\, what brings us alive\, and what helps us delight in being here. \nThis retreat combines: \n\nIMP’s 3 pillars: collaboration\, mentalization\, and IPF support\nSHINE practices: enhancing positive mind states like joy\, love\, connection\, and play\nCommunity connection: finally meeting members from both cohorts\n\nSchedule Includes \n\n🧘 Guided Meditation – Practices integrating IMP and SHINE\n💬 Inquiry Circles – Building on the skills you already know\n🎵 Movement & Play – Because joy lives in our bodies\n🤝 Community Connection – Meeting your people\, sharing your journey\n\nRetreat Flow\nWe’ll move between stillness and movement\, between depth and lightness\, between individual practice and collective joy. This isn’t about forcing positivity—it’s about creating conditions where delight can naturally emerge. \nPractical Details \n\n📅 When: November 1st and 2nd\, 2025\n⏰ Time: 10 AM – 1 PM Pacific Time\n💻 Where: Online (Zoom)\n👥 Who: Only for IMP Cohort 1 & 2 members\n💰 Cost: Dana—you are invited to give what is generous\, affordable\, and meaningful\n\nWhat to Bring \n\nYour practice\nYour questions\nComfortable clothes for movement\nWillingness to play\nCuriosity\nA clean floor space to move\n\nThis is what we’ve been building toward—not just healing what hurts\, but actively cultivating what helps us thrive. \nCome play. Come practice. Come be with your people.

SUMMARY:Enhancing Goodness Together: IMP Online Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Mark your calendars—this is a first. \nFor the first time ever\, members from IMP Cohorts 1 and 2 are gathering for a weekend retreat that brings together everything we’ve been learning in the Integrated Meditation Program with a new dimension: SHINE. \nWhat is SHINE?\nSHINE is a practice Amma developed to help us actively enhance positive qualities—love\, joy\, delight\, connection\, aliveness. It complements the deep healing work of IMP and the emotional inquiry of RAIN. As meditators\, we often become skilled at being dukkha sniffers—noticing what’s painful or difficult. In this retreat\, we’re making space for joy to be just as real\, just as important. \nWhy This Retreat?\nHealing isn’t complete when we’ve only processed our pain. Integration also means cultivating what feels good\, what brings us alive\, and what helps us delight in being here. \nThis retreat combines: \n\nIMP’s 3 pillars: collaboration\, mentalization\, and IPF support\nSHINE practices: enhancing positive mind states like joy\, love\, connection\, and play\nCommunity connection: finally meeting members from both cohorts\n\nSchedule Includes \n\n🧘 Guided Meditation – Practices integrating IMP and SHINE\n💬 Inquiry Circles – Building on the skills you already know\n🎵 Movement & Play – Because joy lives in our bodies\n🤝 Community Connection – Meeting your people\, sharing your journey\n\nRetreat Flow\nWe’ll move between stillness and movement\, between depth and lightness\, between individual practice and collective joy. This isn’t about forcing positivity—it’s about creating conditions where delight can naturally emerge. \nPractical Details \n\n📅 When: November 1st and 2nd\, 2025\n⏰ Time: 10 AM – 1 PM Pacific Time\n💻 Where: Online (Zoom)\n👥 Who: Only for IMP Cohort 1 & 2 members\n💰 Cost: Dana—you are invited to give what is generous\, affordable\, and meaningful\n\nWhat to Bring \n\nYour practice\nYour questions\nComfortable clothes for movement\nWillingness to play\nCuriosity\nA clean floor space to move\n\nThis is what we’ve been building toward—not just healing what hurts\, but actively cultivating what helps us thrive. \nCome play. Come practice. Come be with your people.
