IMS/Spirit Rock Founders’ Evening Series
Seattle Insight is pleased to announce a three part IMS/Spirit Rock Founders’ Evening Series. Jack Kornfield, Sharon Salzberg and Joseph Goldstein are offering events as a benefit for our sangha. All proceeds will go to supporting our ongoing programming.
This is a special opportunity for the Seattle Insight Sangha to hear from these three very senior teachers who established the Insight Meditation Society Retreat Center nearly fifty years ago. They have had a profound influence on the Insight Meditation tradition both nationally and globally.
Please attend and support Seattle Insight with your generosity and bring your questions. The teachers will be online only but we will host both in-person and online gatherings at the center.
Here are the dates:
-
- Jack Kornfield: Sunday, Aug 3 from 4 – 6 PM (Pacific)
- Sharon Salzberg: Saturday, October 18 from 3 – 5 PM (Pacific)
- Joseph Goldstein: Sunday, April 12 from 3 – 5 PM (Pacific)
