This Sunday: Kirsten Rudestam
Dharma Talk Topic: "Reflections on Sila in Times of Moral Confusion"
Sunday, May 31
10:00am - 12:00pm
Offered In-Person & Online via Zoom
This Sunday, May 31, we’re pleased to welcome guest teacher Kirsten Rudestam back to PIMC. A longtime Insight Meditation teacher, environmental educator, and wilderness guide, Kirsten brings a warm, grounded, and thoughtful approach to the Dharma.
Kirsten's talk, "Reflections on Sila in Times of Moral Confusion" explores how Buddhist practice cultivates an inner refuge through the development of sīla (ethical integrity). As insight deepens, ethical conduct arises naturally, not as rigid rules but as an expression of care, connection, and non-harming -- qualities of being that our world needs now more than ever. The morning will include guided meditation, a Dharma talk, and time for questions and discussion. All are welcome.
