Monthly BIPOC Affinity Group, CC 11/14
Description
In the Conference Center at 310 Page Street
This monthly affinity group offers a space of connection and support for those who identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color. All are welcome. We gather to sit zazen for 30 minutes, followed by a time of study—often engaging with teachings by Suzuki Roshi—and open conversation over tea. The group offers an opportunity to explore the Dharma together, reflect on shared and individual experiences, and enjoy each other’s company in community.
Sign up for our mailing list for upcoming events and news.
