Mindfulness for the LGBTQI+ Community

Friday, May 17
7-8:30 PM

with Anushka Fernandopulle

This evening is for queer meditators or wanna-learn meditators of all stripes and rainbow colors. Anushka will offer an evening of Mindfulness instruction, practice and Q&A just for LGBTQI+ people. Come meet other mindful folks and let’s see if there’s interest in launching a Queer sangha at the Dharma Center. No registration necessary! This event has been underwritten by two members of the BDC community who want to support the Rainbow community.
