Spirit Rock - Rainbow Sangha

The Rainbow Sangha is a weekly gathering of self-identified practitioners within marginalized gender and sexuality groups such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, two-spirit, gender non-conforming, and same-gender loving. Together, we’ll explore the Dharma in ways that welcome our lived experiences and build community that honors our diverse voices.

Program includes meditation, a dharma talk, and a practice-oriented discussion.

All levels of meditation experience welcome!

Practical aspects of generosity were addressed, including maintaining healthy boundaries and understanding motivations. Personal stories and reflections were shared to illustrate different types of giving and the long-term benefits of a generous mindset.
