Freedom and Ease of Being: A Meditation Retreat for Our LGBTQAI+ Community

We’ll create a space of ease and support for LGBTQAI+ people to cultivate mindfulness, kindness, and wisdom through insight meditation. Sharing silence and meditative space with community allows us to make greater peace with ourselves and our lives, one moment at a time. While listening to the teachings of wisdom and compassion and mindfully sitting, walking, eating, and resting, liberating insights arise and clarity and freedom are gained. We can learn to find an ever-deepening sense of well-being, touching joy, and fostering the heart's release. We practice in this way both for our own benefit and for the benefit of others.
