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!
Fees: $220. Open to all levels of experience, with a special invitation to beginners.

How have you experienced these intentions in your life? How have you experienced them in your dharma practice? Live them in a weekend of meditation practice which includes exploring how your practice is not about changing your life, but rather about allowing the teachings of the Dharma to transform your relationship to your Life. With the support of other spiritual friends, move through the weekend with your highest intention to be Aware, Mindful, Open, and Free. Each day contains silent sitting, walking, and eating meditation, question + answer session and dharma talk. There will be opportunity to meet in small group discussions. We will conclude by moving from silence into a community sharing circle.
