Embodying the Third Noble Truth: Brothers Becoming the End of Suffering

March 18, 2017 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

Daylong for Alphabet Brothers of Color

We warmly invite all self-identified men of color and people of color who are on the spectrum of masculine identities including gay, bi, trans, queer, non-binary and gender nonconforming.

with Patrick Brown, Nils Heymann and John Mifsud

As Alphabet Brothers of Color, we sometimes feel isolated and unsupported facing formidable odds. Sometimes, spiritual communities feel alienating. Still, we know the joy of our shared identity as Brothers of Color on a spiritual path. There is healing in our hearts and in our community.

Let’s come together for a day of spiritual practice including sitting, walking and eating meditations. Let’s explore teachings that can help end suffering for ourselves and others. We will share stories of joy and sorrow. Our safety will include silence and shared identity. Together, let’s create inclusion and belonging. We’ve got this.
