Difficult Conversations and Identity

The Black, Indigenous, and Person of Color Satsang have formed to help cultivate heart connection and allyship among people within the Ram Dass Community who identify as such. As an affinity group, this BIPOC Satsang offers individuals with similar backgrounds who have historically been marginalized an opportunity to socialize, share ideas and explore shared experiences

Affinity groups are shown to be an integral part of creating an inclusive environment. Ram Dass said, “We don’t try to deny or manipulate individual differences. We honor them, in fact, we seek them out—because we understand that before we undertake any serious social action, we need a strong sense of who we are.” If you would like to learn more about the need for affinity groups and why we honor diversity within the unity, please read this article by Ram Dass on Honoring Diversity within Unity.

Each month has a different theme and topic. This month is “Difficult Conversations and Identity”.

To participate in this specific group, you must identify as Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Color. If you do not, please sign up for the general Satsang.
