LGBTQ+ Satsang: Being Love – Our Stories & Reflections on Social Action + Being Counted
“Remember, we are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we are so deeply interconnected with one another. Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is a supreme creative act.”
— Ram Dass
🌟 Be Included Now 🌟
This month, we gather in loving awareness to honor the beauty and complexity of our identities, our stories, and our collective impact.
In the spirit of Being Love, we invite you into a sacred space of community reflection and dialogue as we consider the name of our fellowship group.
This is not a debate, but a dharmic inquiry—a heart-centered conversation about inclusivity, visibility, and love in action.
We’ll explore the recent community poll about expanding our name to 2SLGBTQIA+ Satsang, reflecting on how our language and labels can become vehicles for belonging, acknowledgment, and service.
🕊️ The evening will include:
-
Guided meditation
-
Open-hearted reflection and discussion
-
Space to share your voice and be heard
-
A community kirtan to close
✨ The poll will remain open for two weeks after the event rebroadcast is shared.
Your voice matters.
Join us in deepening our commitment to walking each other home—together, just as we are.
With love,
The LGBTQ+ Fellowship
For those who identify as LGBTQ+.
