Description:
Join beloved teachers and life-long spiritual friends Sylvia Boorstein and Sharon Salzberg for a four-part discussion series exploring the past and present of Dharma teaching in the West. In this special series, Sylvia and Sharon will share treasured stories and moments from their varied Dharma paths, honoring the teachers and teachings that have touched their hearts and shaped their practice—including those from Dipa Ma, Munindraji, Rina Sircar, U Pandita, U Sivali, Neem Karoli Baba, and others.

Each session will feature structured dialogue between Sharon and Sylvia, periods of guided meditation, and Q&A. Participants will be invited to submit questions in advance of the sessions and online during the sessions to establish a sense of inclusivity for Saṅgha near and far.

All are welcome. Come celebrate the diverse teachings and techniques that have informed our Insight Meditation lineage, and the teachers and spiritual friends with whom we travel on the path to liberation.

All are welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of funds as space allows. For more information, please email Registration@spiritrock.org.

*Recording Note: If you would like access to the recording, you must register by the deadline above. You will have ~90 days from the original program date to view the recording of this program.
