SUMMARY:Family Friendly Sit
DESCRIPTION:This monthly group welcomes families of all ages to join.  Keri Pederson and rotating facilitators will lead a guided meditation followed by open discussion time for parents\, while a second person supports kid play in a separate room. Afterward\, parents and kids will reunite for tea\, snacks and connection. \nWe will rely on a cooperative model to make the “quiet” meditation possible: depending on the number\, age and needs of children joining\, some parents may need to join the kid room while others practice in the meditation hall. Older kids who can sit or read silently can also stay with their parents during the meditation and discussion. Some coming and going between rooms is expected\, and the noisy warmth of family life is most welcome for this group! \nFormat\n\n10:00-10:10am Arrival and settling in\n10:10-11:00am Parents’ meditation and discussion in main hall; kids play in the North Room\n11:00-11:30am Family tea and connection (optional – stay as long as you like)\n\nQuestions\nWe would love to make this event work for every type of family. If you have specific questions or needs\, please contact Danielle at danielle.sewell@gmail.com. \nRegistration & Donation\nThis is a drop-in group welcome to all practitioners. Your support of this group and other programs at Seattle Insight is what sustains the center and enables us to help many people access these powerful teachings. Donate here

SUMMARY:The Joy of Practicing the Dhamma
DESCRIPTION:The Dhamma is not merely a philosophy to study but a path to be lived and experienced. Every step taken in accordance with the Noble Eightfold Path brings greater peace\, freedom\, and genuine joy . In fact \, true joy  arises not from external possessions or worldly success\, but from seeing the mind become lighter\, kinder\, wiser\, and more liberated.\n\n\nWe will explore how joy naturally develops through generosity\, ethical living\, mental cultivation \, mindfulness\, and wisdom. We will discover that the Dhamma transforms ordinary moments into opportunities for inner growth\, replacing fear with courage \, anger with loving kindness/ compassion\,  attachment with generosity\, and delusion with wisdom. The gathering will include guided meditation\, Dhamma talk \, question and answer session.  This is the first of two offerings.  The next one will be on Monday\, September 21. \nRegistration & Donation\nRegistration is not required for this event.  If you would like to join online\, the zoom link will be available 30 minutes before the event at the link above.   Dana is a term for generosity\, or freely offered giving. You can read more and offer dana to Seattle Insight and to the teachers here.  Dana for Bhante Buddharakkhita can be offered at the event.

SUMMARY:Monday Morning Metta (MMM)
DESCRIPTION:Many folks start their week with Monday\, so we’ll start it off with kindness\, care\, love\, and goodwill. A rotating cast of leaders (Temira\, Judith\, Adam\, and perhaps others) will offer up a variety of forms of metta. Each week we’ll have a 30 minute sit. Sometimes\, if the leader has time\, there will be space after for questions and reflections\, but that’s totally optional for all involved. We’re there to open our hearts and create some goodness together as a sangha before we head out into the world. All experience levels are welcome! \nRegistration & Donation \nRegistration is not needed for this event. Dana is a term for generosity\, or freely offered giving. You can read more and offer dana for both Seattle Insight and the teachers here.

SUMMARY:Living With\, Not Against: Mindfulness for Persistent Conditions
DESCRIPTION:Many of us live with conditions that persist—chronic pain\, illness\, disability\, neurodivergence\, aging bodies. The Buddha taught the Four Foundations of Mindfulness as the direct path to freedom\, inviting us into wise relationship with our actual embodied experience\, not an idealized version of it. \nOver four sessions\, which will be held online and in person\, we’ll practice with the Four Foundations—Body\, Feeling Tone\, Mind\, and the Hindrances as one of the Dhammas—as companions for persistent conditions. Drawing on my experience as a person who stutters\, an invisible disability often misunderstood as something to overcome\, we’ll explore how these teachings support liberation through meeting what persists with wisdom and compassion. \nChanging our relationship with difficulty takes time. But the practice itself can reveal what we might not expect: that what persists can become a teacher\, can become a doorway\, can even become a gift. \nEach session includes practice\, a dharmette\, and time for questions. All bodies and minds are invited to join. \nRegistration & Donation\nIf you are joining this class after the first session\, please RSVP at the bottom of the page at this link. You will receive a zoom link before the event begins.  You can join the class for any or all of the weeks. \nDana is a term for generosity\, or freely offered giving. You can read more and offer dana to Seattle Insight here.  You can offer dana to Shawn here: \nVenmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Shawn-Y-Holmes\nZelle: shawn.theuinu@gmail.com\nPayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/shawnyvette \nQuestions?\nPlease contact Shawn with any questions at shawn.holmes@seattleinsight.org

SUMMARY:Introduction to Meditation Class Series (In-Person & Online)
DESCRIPTION:Insight Meditation\, also known as mindfulness or vipassana meditation\, comes from the early Buddhist tradition. Through learning to bring a steady and spacious awareness to direct experience\, moment by moment\, the practice aims to free the mind from the distortions of self-centeredness\, negativity\, and confusion. Seeing life as a constantly changing process\, one begins to accept pleasure and pain\, fear and joy\, and all aspects of life\, with increasing balance\, compassion\, and freedom. \nThis six-week series offers participants teachings about what Insight Meditation is\, how it works\, and how to do it. The focus is on bringing insight and loving-kindness practices into daily life\, both on and off the meditation cushion.  Many people take the class more than once\, to refresh and strengthen their existing practice. \nThis class will include: \n\nGuided meditation instruction\nSitting and walking meditation practice\nMeditation posture and techniques\nTalks and guidance on understanding the principles of meditation\nGroup discussions\nWeekly practice suggestions\nDaylong meditation retreat (see date at top of the page)\n\nAll class dates are listed above. \nRegistration and Sliding Scale \nNote: Registration is required for this class\, and closes after the second class. Please register below. \nAffordability and access are at the heart of our values. No one is turned away for lack of funds. The “suggested” donation for the six-week series is $90\, which includes the day of mindfulness. A “supported” donation of $60 is also acceptable\, if this better fits your budget. If you wish to support another student’s registration fees\, you are invited to donate $120 for the series. You are welcome to offer what is right given your circumstances. \nPlease consider offering teacher dana\, a term for generosity\, during the course of the series. None of your registration donations go directly to the teacher. \nIf you need more information about this class series\, or if you have a question for the teacher\, please contact registrar@seattleinsight.org.

SUMMARY:Monday Morning Metta (MMM)
DESCRIPTION:Many folks start their week with Monday\, so we’ll start it off with kindness\, care\, love\, and goodwill. A rotating cast of leaders (Temira\, Judith\, Adam\, and perhaps others) will offer up a variety of forms of metta. Each week we’ll have a 30 minute sit. Sometimes\, if the leader has time\, there will be space after for questions and reflections\, but that’s totally optional for all involved. We’re there to open our hearts and create some goodness together as a sangha before we head out into the world. All experience levels are welcome! \nRegistration & Donation \nRegistration is not needed for this event. Dana is a term for generosity\, or freely offered giving. You can read more and offer dana for both Seattle Insight and the teachers here.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Meditation Class Series (In-Person & Online)
DESCRIPTION:Insight Meditation\, also known as mindfulness or vipassana meditation\, comes from the early Buddhist tradition. Through learning to bring a steady and spacious awareness to direct experience\, moment by moment\, the practice aims to free the mind from the distortions of self-centeredness\, negativity\, and confusion. Seeing life as a constantly changing process\, one begins to accept pleasure and pain\, fear and joy\, and all aspects of life\, with increasing balance\, compassion\, and freedom. \nThis six-week series offers participants teachings about what Insight Meditation is\, how it works\, and how to do it. The focus is on bringing insight and loving-kindness practices into daily life\, both on and off the meditation cushion.  Many people take the class more than once\, to refresh and strengthen their existing practice. \nThis class will include: \n\nGuided meditation instruction\nSitting and walking meditation practice\nMeditation posture and techniques\nTalks and guidance on understanding the principles of meditation\nGroup discussions\nWeekly practice suggestions\nDaylong meditation retreat (see date at top of the page)\n\nAll class dates are listed above. \nRegistration and Sliding Scale \nNote: Registration is required for this class\, and closes after the second class. Please register below. \nAffordability and access are at the heart of our values. No one is turned away for lack of funds. The “suggested” donation for the six-week series is $90\, which includes the day of mindfulness. A “supported” donation of $60 is also acceptable\, if this better fits your budget. If you wish to support another student’s registration fees\, you are invited to donate $120 for the series. You are welcome to offer what is right given your circumstances. \nPlease consider offering teacher dana\, a term for generosity\, during the course of the series. None of your registration donations go directly to the teacher. \nIf you need more information about this class series\, or if you have a question for the teacher\, please contact registrar@seattleinsight.org.
