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.

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.
