SUMMARY:Online: Insight OUT Refuge - LGBTQI Sangha
DESCRIPTION:Insight OUT Refuge: LGBTQI Sangha \nMonday January 30\, 2023 | 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. The major reason for our closing is of course the health and safety of our teachers and community of yogis\, as well as to support the larger efforts to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. We hold our mission to provide refuge for our sangha dearly\, especially during these challenging times when a connection to one another is all the more important.  \nPlease check our website calendar for further updates regarding this sangha and other programs. 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.
