This event is a space for Men of Color to gather, connect, learn and practice together. Participants will explore dharma teachings and articles to frame our collective exploration of the divine masculine. Through storytelling, mindfulness practices, group work and ritual we will offer healing and growth in community. 

All people who self-identify with their masculinity and as a person of color are welcome to join. We know that healing is available to us in community when we practice. We lean into EBMC's multicultural agreements and practices for creating inclusive spaces.

This event is a series of four daylong events with an arc of learning exploring unifying themes. Designed to build with cumulative content, each session can stand alone and available for drop in participation.

The ticket prices are listed as different tiers with suggested donations based on income ranges. For those who wish to give more, you may choose an “add-on” to your ticket. For those unable to give, there is an option for that.
