Teachings from the Satipatthana Sutta on the First Establishment of Mindfulness

The body is a multifaceted field of sensory experience. The Buddha taught in the Satipatthana Sutta that investigating the experience of embodiment can bring practitioners all the way to full awakening. Woven through this day of sitting, walking and movement meditation will be practice instructions to guide contemplation of the breath, the four elements, the positions and parts of the body, and the inherent impermanence of the body.

Join Angela Sullivan and Denise Barclay on a journey through the senses to deepen our understanding of this early and foundational teaching of the Buddha.

Denise Barclay has been teaching yoga since 1998 and has been practicing Vipassana meditation since 1995. In May 2012, she completed the Mindfulness Yoga and Meditation Teacher Training under Phillip Moffitt and Anne Cushman through Spirit Rock Meditation Center. Her deep commitment to the Buddha Dharma, QiGong and yoga, along with her studies with Heather Sundberg since 2013—especially through Heather’s Committed Students Program—further underscore Denise's spiritual and teaching journey. Over the years, her dedication to teaching mindfulness, movement, and meditation, alongside her extensive retreat experience, has earned her the role of Dharma Leader/Teacher for the Dharma Zephyr Insight Meditation Community.

Angela Sullivan began practicing yoga in the 1980’s and brings a lifetime of mindful movement training to her teaching. Her classes are a masterful blend of biomechanics, humor, Dhamma and yoga principles. Her never ending curiosity of human experience and form inspires her practice and she is dedicated to her Sangha and students. Angela fell in love with Insight Meditation through the local Vipassana community and has furthered her study over the years with DZIMC retreats, and most recently, Heather Sundberg’s Committed Students Program.

Denise and Angela welcome beginning as well as experienced meditators.
The teachings are offered without charge. Your generosity provides a donation to O2 Yoga & Wellness for the space and support for the teachers.

A Daylong Retreat Exploring Right View with

Dharma Zephyr Center
Carson City
I, Me, Mine — three small words that carry the weight of a lifetime of self-construction. This daylong of silent practice and inquiry invites us to look closely at how we habitually turn the raw flow of experience into something owned, defended, and personal — and to discover what happens when awareness begins to relax that grip. Drawing on the Buddha's teaching of Right View as the forerunner of the path, we will explore the texture of self-clinging not as a problem to solve, but as a doorway into seeing experience as it actually is: nature unfolding, moment by moment, through the miracle of awareness. The day includes periods of sitting and walking meditation, dharma reflections, and group sharing and Q&A.

All levels of meditation experience welcome.

Adam Stonebraker has been dedicated to Buddhist practice and meditation since 1999 and serves as the Guiding Teacher for Mountain Stream Meditation in Nevada City, CA. Since 2010, he has been sharing the Buddha’s teachings with diverse audiences locally and internationally. His approach is deeply influenced by the Thai Forest Tradition, the Bodhisattva path, and the transformative power of meditation.

Please bring a sack lunch. Chairs are provided. If you prefer to sit on the floor, bring your cushions or bench. Dressing in layers is encouraged.

There is no charge to attend the retreat. You will have the opportunity to show your gratitude to the teacher and Dharma Zephyr by offing a donation to each.

The Dharma Zephyr Center is located inside Sierra Foot and Ankle
2350 S Carson St, STE 3
Carson City, NV 89701
(Corner of S Curry St and Rhodes St across from The Greenhouse Garden Center)

This Messy, Gorgeous Love:
A Buddhist Guide to Lasting Partnership

Presented by Dharma Teachers
devon and nico hase

On Zoom
Friday, May 8, 2026
4:00 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.


Join devon and nico hase for an online event to discuss their new book This Messy, Gorgeous Love: A Buddhist Guide to Lasting Partnership.

Devon and nico write, “If you're struggling, you can use that struggle to open your heart and connect with your partner.” Instead of chasing an idealized relationship, “fixing” your partner, or losing yourself, discover how your current committed relationship can become a vehicle for opening your heart, clarifying your mind, and awakening to deeper truths.

This book, which will be released on April 14th, isn't about everlasting happiness―it’s about building something even better: a partnership where you can be happy in love, thrive in conflict, and have honest fun together, all while embracing the beautiful mess that makes your connection uniquely yours.

nico hase lived in a monastery for six years before earning a PhD in counseling psychology and becoming an Insight Meditation teacher. He helps people bring Buddhist wisdom to life's challenges, including the beautiful complexity of partnership. Together, they are the authors of How Not to Be a Hot Mess.

devon hase teaches at Insight Meditation Society and Spirit Rock Meditation Center. She integrates deep Buddhist practice with everyday experience to help students cultivate authentic connection in all relationships.

This event is beginner-friendly.
Free of charge – donations are gratefully accepted.
