Opening Our Hearts: A Day of Lovingkindness Practice for the Transgender, Nonbinary, Genderqueer and Gender Expansive Communities

June 15, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 4:30 pm

Open to all self identified Transgender, Nonbinary, Gender Queer, Gender Variant, and Gender Non-conforming people

With Bri Barnett, Fresh! “Lev” White, Kalash Ka and René Rivera

Lovingkindness is a powerful practice that enables us to cultivate our capacity for an open, fearless, and loving heart. This day will include meditations, sharing, and discussions that nurture kindness and love.

We will join in community, as Trans* and Gender Queer/Gender Variant people to share our stories, our practice, and create a space to practice freeing our hearts, not only for ourselves, but for our communities and for the freedom of the planet.

This daylong is suitable for both new and experienced meditators and is an opportunity to practice in a space which will be lead and held by Trans* identified individuals.

Space is limited and advance registration is requested.
