LGBTQ+ SATSANG: Allowing Your Own Beauty

Sometimes, being who you/we are, doesn’t easily fit into this binary, either/or world. Our journeys into living/being our full selves, our unique gender identities, sexual orientations, can often be an integral part of our spiritual journey. 

“So I think that being gay {LGBTQ+}  in this society at this time has a psychic cost to it that can be seen from a spiritual point of view as a nurturing process in spirituality, because in a way it keeps you separate from a certain identity with the mainstream culture, and that helps free you, which is part of the whole spiritual journey.” – Ram Dass

Shana and others from our LGBTIQ+ Satsang, will talk about their journeys, and how these connect with the teachings of Ram Dass.

“You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don’t have to do anything to earn it.” Ram Dass

For those who identify as LGBTQ+.

LGBTQ+ Satsang Mission Statement

The LGBTQ+ Ram Dass Satsang’s mission is to cultivate loving awareness and heart connections in a community of kindred souls. We celebrate our unity in the full spectrum of gender and sexuality in and from a space of supportive openness.

• Explore the intersection of seva/service & the spectrum of gender and sexuality 

• Hold a space for exploring being LGBTQ+ from the perspective of consciousness
