What is a Queer Warrior? Someone dedicated to a meditative practice and to living their identity in a brave, compassionate, kind and open-hearted way. Many of us who identify LGBTQ are raised in faiths that are often unwelcoming. In contrast, the Shambhala Buddhism lineage offers LGBTQ individuals an opportunity to explore a spiritual path with like-minded people in a safe and accepting environment. And many of us have developed a tough exterior in order to protect ourselves from a discriminatory world; yet the Shambhala path of warriorship encourages us to soften our hearts in order to live a more embodied, spontaneous and liberated life.
LGBTQ individuals and allies welcome! Come learn to meditate or brush up on your technique in a supportive queer and ally-friendly environment. Explore mindfulness strategies you can use in everyday life. LGBTQ individuals involved in Refuge Recovery will also find a welcoming environment here.
