Cultivating Love, Clarity, and Resilience: An LGBTQIA+ and GNC Retreat

This silent retreat offers a precious opportunity to come together in our LGBTQIA+ and GNC (Gender Non-Conforming) community. We will be encouraged to embrace all of ourselves with love and a deep acceptance. On this retreat there will be an emphasis on cultivating a continuity of awareness in all activities, with a relaxed and gentle attention. We will also cultivate the Divine Abodes (beautiful qualities) of the heart: mettā (lovingkindness), compassion, joy, and the peace of equanimity. This retreat is suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners.

This retreat is silent except for teacher-led Q&A, small groups, or other practice meetings.
