PIMC Quilt Circle
Calling all fiber-craft enthusiasts—and the fiber-craft curious! The PIMC Quilt Circle is an intentional, community-building group coming together to create a quilt similar to the one pictured (created by Connie) to be raffled in support of PIMC. Everyone is welcome—from experienced quilters to complete beginners, with plenty of non-sewing ways to participate. Donations of cotton fabric, thread, and quilting supplies are gratefully accepted; to RSVP or ask questions, email office@portlandinsight.org

Community Potluck with Passaddhi Vihara Ayyas
All are welcome to join a special community potluck following our Sunday program. We’ll be joined by the Ayya monastics from Passaddhi Vihara, who will offer a blessing of the meal.
​
Please bring a dish to share and enjoy food, conversation, and connection with fellow Sangha members. If possible, consider bringing a gluten-free option, as one of the visiting monastics is gluten free.
