Queer Dharma

November 21st (2013)

Date details +

    Queer Dharma is open to any queer identified person interested in combining the practice of meditation with the study of Buddhism. We offer meditation instruction to newcomers, and we encourage seasoned practitioners to join.  The Wednesday Learn to Meditate sessions are longer and more thorough, and are recommended first - but not necessary.  Please join us!

    The evening begins with meditation, followed by a small break and a group discussion on the relationship of dharma to being queer. What is 'queer' and how does it relate to dharma practice? If these ideas interest you, you are invited to join our group.

    Topic this month: Facing homophobia - working with hostility, fear and aggression

    Programs without a price are free. For those programs with a price listed, please do not let price be an obstacle. Visit our generosity policy page.

    When available as an option, your generosity in offering the patron price helps cover the costs for others who are not able to pay the full price. Any amount offered above the Program Price is considered a charitable donation to the centre, and will be included in a tax receipt issued by email in February of the following year.

    For programs that have a register button, it is helpful for us if you can indicate your intention to attend by registering ahead of time. In order to prevent duplicate entries in the Shambhala Database, all registrations are reviewed before you will receive a confirmation email.

    Our Refund Policy:  For convenience you can pay online using a credit card via PayPal. If we cancel the program for any reason, we will give you a full refund. We understand that sometimes after you have pre-paid, you might be unable to attend.  We will be happy to refund your payment if you request it at least 24 hours before the program starts.  Due to the difference in PayPal charges for purchases and refunds, we charge a nominal amount of $5 for a refund.
