with Dr. Vimalasara Valerie Mason – John and Shahara Godfrey

Open to Self Identified People of Color

This is a day for us to come together as People of Color to explore one of the seminal text in the Buddhist teachings -‘ Non-Self’. Paraphrasing the late Pat Parker – she once wrote ‘first you remember I’m a person of color and second you forget I’m a person of color’. What would it be like to be free from all our labels and not attached to the identities we give ourselves and identities forced upon us? Join senior teachers Shahara Godfrey  – Vimalasara (Valerie) Mason-John for a day of meditation, dharma talks and compassionate inquiry.
