Salida Insight Meditation Community

YOU ARE WARMLY INVITED!

• Saturday, October 17, 2026
• 10:00am to 1:00 pm
• SIMC House - 248 D St, Salida, CO

Join us for our annual fall cleanup and stay for a catered lunch at noon. Or skip the cleanup and simply join us for lunch!

And who is invited? Anyone who considers SIMC part of their community. If you attend sits, retreats, or other SIMC events—or contribute your time or financial support—you are part of this sangha, and we’d love to have you with us.

This year, our lunch will be about more than saying thank you to the volunteers whose generosity keeps SIMC alive and vibrant. We’ll also be looking ahead.

In Buddhist practice, dāna – generosity – is one of the ways we care for and sustain community, and it takes many forms. 

As our sangha grows, we’re creating and exploring new ways for more people to participate in its life and stewardship. At lunch, we’ll share some of what’s ahead and introduce new opportunities to plug in - large and small, occasional and ongoing.

There’s no commitment required. Come celebrate our sangha community, hear what’s happening at SIMC, and perhaps discover a way of participating that feels meaningful to you.

Whether you’re a longtime volunteer, curious about getting more involved, or simply want to be part of the conversation, we hope you’ll join us.

Please register by October 10 if you plan to stay for lunch so we have an accurate headcount for food quantities. Lunch generously donated by Amica's.
