SUMMARY:Awakening-The Path of Friendship: An Insight Dialogue Retreat with Dave Leggatt/Anna-Brown Griswold (In-Person & Online)
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThis non-residential retreat with Dave Leggatt and Anna-Brown Griswold is taking place both in person at Bastyr University and online. When you register you will be required to choose between In-Person and Online. \nSaturday October 14th\, 9AM – 4:30PM \nSunday October 15\, 9AM – 4PM  \nSpecial note: The Friday evening session will offer an overview of the practice of Insight Dialogue and its Dhamma roots.  This is an open session and everyone is free to attend without registering for the whole weekend. Participants are encouraged to attend the Friday night talk.  There is no registration required for the Friday nigh talk.  It will be offered in person at University Friends Meeting House and online. \nWhen asked about his Path to Awakening\, the Buddha declares the first essential condition to be finding a good and virtuous friend (kalyāṇamitta). In the Aṅguttara Nikāya 9.1\, he follows the conditions of friendship and virtue with the third essential condition of talk on ten topics. In this retreat we will explore these topics of conversation using the guidelines and practice of Insight Dialogue. \nParticipants will find it supportive to have meditation experience\, but experience in Insight Dialogue is not required as we will offer an introduction to the practice as part of the retreat. \nTeacher Bios\nDave Leggatt practiced in the Vipassana tradition for many years. He was introduced to Insight Dialogue in 2011 and joined the Insight Dialogue facilitator program in 2016. Since then Dave has been facilitating and teaching in-person workshops\, retreats and online offerings. Aware of the importance of spiritual friendship and the power of Insight Dialogue practiced in daily life\, he enjoys expanding the boundaries of practice for himself and others. He founded the annual Kalyanamittata retreat and offers practice in the global Insight Dialogue community. He is active on a number of community teams. Dave lives in Toronto\, Canada. \nAnna-Brown Griswold fell in love with Insight Dialogue practice in 2012 after nearly twenty years of practice and study in the Tibetan and Zen koan lineages of Buddhism\, including monastic practice and extended solitary retreats. For most of her adult life she’s been experimenting with how to integrate the awakening power of dharma practice\, the skills of psychotherapeutic healing\, and an embodied lens of social justice. Anna-Brown currently shares Insight Dialogue practice online and locally in Seattle\, WA\, where she works as a trauma therapist and facilitator.  As a mom to a toddler\, bringing Insight Dialogue into the whole beautiful mess of parenting is an ongoing practice. \nRegistration & Donation\nRegistration for this Hybrid Retreat is required. The suggested event donations are listed below\, plus teacher dana. Dana is a term for generosity\, or freely offered giving.

SUMMARY:The Art and Practice of Equanimity with Narayan Liebenson (In-Person & Online)
DESCRIPTION:This non-residential retreat with Narayan Liebenson\, Saturday Sept. 9 9AM – 430PM to Sunday Sept. 10 9AM – 12PM\, is available both Online and In-Person at Bastyr University in Kenmore. When you register you will be required to choose between In-Person and Online. \nDescription\nEquanimity is the cultivation of a balanced heart in the midst of impermanence. The Buddha described the ways we are pushed and pulled by conditions in life as the teaching of the Eight Worldly Winds. These “winds” include praise and blame\, gain and loss\, pleasure and pain\, and honor and shame. Equanimity makes it possible to respond to these ever-changing experiences with less reactivity and with greater wisdom and compassion. \nTogether\, we will focus on various ways of cultivating equanimity in our lives. Our time together will Include sitting and walking meditation\, talks\, questions and responses\, and an optional small group. I sincerely invite you to join me for a day exploring both the art as well as the practice of equanimity. This program is appropriate for both new and experienced practitioners. Everyone is welcome. \nInstructor Bio\nNarayan Helen Liebenson finds it a joy and a privilege to share the Buddha’s teachings with all who are interested.

She was a student of the late Chan master Sheng Yen for over ten years.
