A Day of Practice for the Alphabet Sangha

with Shahara Godfrey

As Lesbian, Gay, Genderqueer, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Same Gender Loving and/or Two-Spirit people (LGBTQISGL) and others in our Alphabet Sangha, we are often faced with societal challenges that can marginalize us. Together in community, this daylong will focus on the practice of compassion, which is the energy of our hearts that calls forth love in response to our own suffering, to the pain in the world, and to historical suffering carried within us and by institutions. Compassion practice is a powerful antidote to help transform suffering and allow us to engage with, rather than distance from, challenging situations.

All who self-identify as LGBTQISGL, are welcome to this day of cultivating gratitude in sangha.
