Community Gathering
Saturday, September 6 | 10am – 12pm
The PIMC Board of Directors will host a community gathering on Saturday, September 6, to share updates on leadership, governance, and community safety. This gathering is part of our response to the recently submitted report compiled by leaders of the Zen Community of Oregon (ZCO), following last September's tragedy and the resignation of PIMC's founder and guiding teacher. We'll discuss key takeaways from the report, outline a vision for strengthened governance, and provide space for questions from the community.
More information about the report and the evolution of PIMC's leadership can be found on our updated FAQ page.
