Guiding Teacher Council
For many years, a small group of senior and founding teachers – known
as the Guiding Teachers – has steered the organization, with support
from the IMS Board, in areas of retreat programming, selection of retreat
teachers and a dharma program for staff.
As IMS evolved from managing a single retreat facility to today’s
more complex operation of two centers, the number of faculty who offer
the Buddha’s teachings here increased. “It became apparent
to us all that we needed a larger council to better serve this growing
teacher body, and to represent the faculty in IMS processes,” explained
Guy Armstrong, a teacher with over 20 years’ experience who is
based in California.
And so a new Guiding Teacher Council was elected by the teachers. Current members
now number seven in total – they are IMS co-founders
Joseph Goldstein and Sharon Salzberg, Christina Feldman (of Gaia House
in the UK), Carol Wilson (who has also served on the IMS Board), Narayan
Liebenson Grady (of the Cambridge Insight Meditation Center), Guy Armstrong (from Spirit
Rock) and Rodney Smith (of the Seattle Insight Meditation Society).
