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).
