Honoring Our Teachers: Sylvia Boorstein and Sharon Salzberg in Conversation (SB1C25)

Registration closes at 4:00pm (US Pacific Time) just prior to the third class on May 22, 2025. A waiting list will be created if the program fills early. A recording* will be available following each class.

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, 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.

Online Only: We are offering this program online via Zoom.
