An Undefended Heart and Mind: A Retreat for the LGBTQI Gender-Queer Community

This retreat is a wonderful opportunity to come together as LGBTQI gender-queer community, to give and receive support in cultivating the beautiful qualities of mind and heart that support awakening into freedom.

Mindfulness sees clearly what is happening moment to moment, and guides us to end the dynamics of suffering. Lovingkindness creates an environment of friendship, softening and opening the heart. We will grow these qualities through sitting, walking and eating meditations, group inquiry and talks about the teachings. As we become less defended, we are able to delight in who we are as LGBTQI and gender-queer.
