Guest Teacher Talks and Other Special Events
Guest teachers will generally offer a public talk on the Friday before their non-residential weekend. Seattle Insight is also fortunate to have regular guest teachers who come to hold evening talks and non-residential retreats. Some of regular guest teachers at Seattle Insight have included Sharon Salzberg, Ajahn Sumedho, Norman Fischer, Christina Feldman, Phillip Moffitt, Steve Armstrong, and numerous others who visit and freely offer their wisdom and deep practice to our sangha.
