Open to self-identified LGBTQIA2S+ Community Members
Description:
Practicing compassion for ourselves and other in community allows us to be sustainable in our personal and community struggles; it often supports us in allowing new wisdom, joy, and love as part of our life experiences.
Join us in our second year offering this beautiful and healing space online. We will dip into the Buddhist practices of compassion for self and other and share resources for calling in joy. We will explore compassion phrases, guided and silent meditation,
mindful movement, (including a dance party) and discover voice work and sound healing.
This day is open to all levels of practice from new to sages. There will be time for discussion throughout the day and time for gathering at lunch and/or taking breaks offline.
For this gathering, “A” is exclusive of allies, otherwise, all LGBTQIA2S+ community members are welcome.
You are welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of funds, as space allows. For more information, please email Registration@spiritrock.org.
