Taking Refuge: A Weekend for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Communities

 
With Larry Yang and Furyu Nancy Schroeder
July 2-5 (Fri-Mon) $220
Open to all levels of experience, with a special invitation to beginners.

The Buddha’s teachings on Liberation strengthen the capacity to hold and love our lives with compassion, appreciation and balance, and to create more freedom.

Taking Refuge is one of the most beautiful aspects of the Buddhist meditation practice. We take Refuge in the potential for each of us to awaken and be free, in the wisdom of spiritual teachings, and in the community of spiritual friends. We offer this invitation for Refuge and Renewal to all queer-identified folks. Come, get into a seat, settle your mind, soak in the baths, keep your heart open, and see what you discover!
