A meditation group for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex & Same-Gender Loving Communities
With Larry Yang, Shahara Godfrey, Phyllis Oscar, Joan Doyle, and other guest teachers
You are invited to join us at our weekly meditation group for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex & Same-Gender Loving communities. Because that's such a mouthful, we call ourselves the Alphabet Sangha. We gather for Buddhist meditation practice, Dharma teachings, and friendly, supportive community. Together we explore mindfulness and awareness for cultivating an open heart in our everyday lives.
We are a diverse, multicultural community, committed to social justice and to maintaining a Sangha that's welcoming to people of all races, ethnicities, classes, genders, abilities, sizes and ages.
We welcome people at all levels of practice. Simple beginning meditation instructions are always offered. If you have specific questions about meditation, a teacher is available to answer questions.
