Online: Creating a Life of Integrity in a Chaotic World
with Joseph Goldstein and Sharon Salzberg
Sunday, April 13th, 2025 | 5:30pm – 7:00pm ET
In a chaotic world, where do we find our moral compass? This spring, join renowned meditation teachers Joseph Goldstein and Sharon Salzberg for a special online evening event all about renewing your commitment to living with integrity.
We may notice that when we don’t speak or act from our own sense of what’s right, we feel lousy. Joseph and Sharon will unpack what it means to cultivate the qualities of a “life of integrity,” with special attention paid to the Buddhist paramis of generosity, virtue, renunciation, wisdom, courage, patience, truthfulness, resoluteness, loving-kindness, and equanimity.
Join us to discover how each parami is a step on a path that transports us to an empowered place of clarity, commitment, and joy. As we strengthen and weave these qualities into our daily lives, they become our trusted first response in a world that needs our integrity now.
This event will include a guided meditation session and a Q&A.
