Seattle Insight is fortunate to have regular guest teachers who hold evening talks and nonresidential retreats. Some of the guest teachers who have visited Seattle Insight include Sharon Salzberg, Ajahn Sumedho, Norman Fischer, Christina Feldman, Phillip Moffitt, Steve Armstrong, and numerous others. These teachers have freely offered their wisdom and deep practice to our sangha. Guest teachers will generally offer a public talk on the Friday before their nonresidential retreat weekend. Visit the guest teacher page to read their biographies.
