LGBTQ+ Satsang: Acts of Civil Disobedience – Good Trouble
April 10, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 6:15 pm PDT
“I can disagree with actions that are not compassionate. But I want to keep my heart open. If I don’t, I am part of the problem, not part of the solution. And that’s just not interesting enough. That’s what the inner work is—to become part of the solution.” – Ram Dass
In this session, we celebrate social justice movements and actions, while examining the role our emotions and humanity play in creating equitable social systems. Readings and talks from Ram Dass will lead us through an exploration of anger, fear, and righteousness, and root us in our compassion.
Join us for a spirited gathering to honor our queer fellowship community. This event will include meditation, social discussion time, and kirtan.
For those who identify as LGBTQ+.
