2017 Accomplishments

• Inclusive Communities: Northwest Dharma Association participated in a dialogue with a World Affairs Council delegation of Christians, Jews and Muslims from around the world (May 2017).
• Contemplative Caregiving: NWDA co-sponsored the Buddhist Recovery Summit for practitioners, teachers and clinicians, to collaborate and share resources and perspectives (October 2017).
• Dharma Arts & Culture: NWDA’s “Celebrating the Sangha” event at Nalanda West was a marathon festival exploring Buddhist-inspired dialogue, chanting, song, dance, clowning and art (November 2017).

2017 Financials

Income pie: donations, sustaining members, events.

Expenses pie: This including paying for the Northwest Dharma Association website, Northwest Dharma News, programs, member services, administration and office.

We were not able to meet our 2017 budget. Income in 2017 was $20,588. Expenses would have totaled $24,890 if we had fully paid our contract staff, which we were not able to accomplish.

Coming in 2018

We started out 2018 with a Contemplative Caregiving workshop with Jonathan Prescott of Wise Caregiving, the third NWDA has sponsored with Prescott.

On May 5 there will be a Gathering of Buddhist Teachers and Leaders at the Seattle Koyasan Temple. Click here for more information and registration.
