Friends,

For this upcoming Thursday, April 3 Eastside Insight Meditation sit, we are happy to  again welcome friend and  colleague Emily Carpenter as a guest teacher.
 
Emily has visited Eastside Insight many times before, and is teaching this April 3, and last session March 20, while Ellen and  I are on Southwest pilgrimage. For these two weeks, Eastside Insight will only be online, because Emily will be Zooming from Portland.
 
Emily’s talk will be “Joy  on the path.”

She wrote:

 “We’ll explore joy in the Buddhist teachings, and as an experience in our practice and lives, and explore how it can help us stay balanced in times of great change and uncertainty.”

Emily has been practicing insight meditation since 1998. She was on staff at the Insight Meditation Society from 2009-2012 and graduated from Spirit Rock’s Community Dharma Leaders program in 2017. She deeply appreciates retreat practice and has completed over a year of silent retreat, mostly at IMS. Emily calls Portland home, where she owns a web design business and also works as an Internal Family Systems-informed life coach. In her free time, you can often find her enjoying the beautiful Pacific

The URL for the evening will be  https://tinyurl.com/Eastside-Insight-2025. Just to repeat, this sit will only be online.

You’re invited to offer dana to Emily, with the  Venmo link below.
