SUMMARY:Online: Insight OUT Refuge - LGBTQI Sangha
DESCRIPTION:Insight OUT Refuge: LGBTQI Sangha \n4th Monday of each month | 6:30-8:30 pm \nDue to the COVID-19 pandemic\, NYI has transitioned to online programming. For the time being  NYI will no longer hold in-person public programs\, sanghas and community meetings.

Info about online access will be listed under the description below.  \nCome join us for meditation and discussion to meet and socialize with other LGBTQI practitioners at NYI. \nOur community is open to students of all Buddhist traditions\, as well as those who are in the beginning stages of exploring their meditation practice and have an interest in the Dharma. All those who identify as LGBTQI are welcome. \nWe gather to form a multicultural community in which we can support each other in our practice with a commitment toward social change. \nFee by donation: Suggested starting donation is $15 but whatever you offer is greatly appreciated and no one is ever turned away for lack of funds. \n  \nJoin our sangha via Zoom: http://bit.ly/nyiinsightout \nMeeting ID: 845 0390 5943\nPasscode: 123 \nDial by your location\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York) \nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kbAkW4rpL2 \nMake a Donation\nPlease donate via PayPal (indicate in the note section that it is for “NYI Teacher Dana”) or use the form below.

SUMMARY:In-Person: Embracing Climate Crisis as a Spiritual Path Yearlong Course
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: Embracing Climate Crisis as a Spiritual Path Yearlong Course\n \nwith Jon Aaron and Lin Wang Gordon\n \nOne Sunday a month\, February 27th\, 2022 – December\, 2022\n \nThis is an in-person course\, with the intention to build community and connections. The community’s health and safety\, however\, is also our priority. At this time\, the hope is to hold the first two classes indoors (at Integral Yoga Institute in the West Village) with the protocols listed below. Beginning in April\, classes will be held outdoors in various parks and natural environments throughout NYC.\n \n“Action on behalf of life transforms. Because the relationship between self and the world is reciprocal\, it is not a question of first getting enlightened or saved and then acting. As we work to heal the earth\, the earth heals us.” \n― Robin Wall Kimmerer\, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom\, Scientific Knowledge\, and the Teachings of Plants \nAs the climate crisis intensifies\, society and life on Earth are changing in ways we have never imagined before. Life as we’ve come to know it\, is in the midst of massive change and upheaval as a result of many interrelated causes. How do we hold this? How do we face our anxiety\, fear\, anger\, grief\, guilt\, and overwhelm with compassion and wisdom\, and cultivate a sense of resilience? What are our individual and collective responses to respond to the climate crisis? Where do we fit into what Joanna Macy has called The Great Turning? How do we cultivate a sense of agency and empowerment? \nOver the months of this course we will discover how our embodied Buddhist practice can help us face difficult emotions with compassion and how that impacts our response to the crisis. We will explore healing and cultivating compassion\, wisdom\, resilience\, equanimity through our practices. Embracing the climate crisis is as much a spiritual\, sacred path as healing from our personal crisis. We will explore diverse voices who have been working on the responses – diversity that includes gender\, race\, and age – to provide a wide range of perspectives. We will also explore nature-based practices – integrating wisdom from our natural environment into our practices and understanding. \nThe course will include four daylong-retreats\, six half-day retreats\, ongoing small groups and regular readings. This is a hybrid course both online and in-person\, with the intention to build and nurture community throughout the course.
