SUMMARY:In-Person: Exploring the Power of Love - InsightOut LGBTQI Gathering
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: Exploring the Power of Love – InsightOut LGBTQI Gathering\n \nwith Elaine Retholtz\n \nMonday\, March 27th\, 2023 from 6:30pm – 8:30pm ET\n \nLocation: New York Zendo (Shobo-Ji Zendo) at 223 East 67th street\, New York City\n \n\n  \nCome join us for meditation and discussion to meet and socialize with other LGBTQI practitioners. \nNew York Insight Teacher Elaine Retholtz will present a dharma talk titled Exploring the Power of Love based on the quote by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr:  \n“Power without love is reckless and abusive\, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. \nPower at its best is love implementing the demands of justice\, and justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love.” \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. \nPlease RSVP\nIf you are registering via a mobile device such as a phone or tablet\, you can scroll right and left and up and down within the below form if it is partially obscured or cut off.\nCLICK HERE to open the registration form in a new browser window.\nPlease contact registration@nyimc.org if you need assistance. \n\n \nNYI’s Covid Protocol for In-Person Indoors Programs:\nWe continue to strongly encourage all Sangha members to take advantage of vaccination against Covid and influenza\, including booster shots.\nAll participants must register in advance before attending the program.\nWe ask that each Sangha member carefully and honestly assess their health prior to heading to class\, and ask that anyone who is even mildly symptomatic (including sore throat\, cough\, sinus/nasal congestion\, loss of smell\, fever\, or unexplained body ache or fatigue) stay home. Symptoms may precede a positive Covid test result by several days\, or may indicate influenza or other infections that will not be detected by standard testing.\nWhile we appreciate the hardship of missing an event that you may have made significant sacrifices to be able to attend\, this is the single most important precaution you can take to protect both yourself and your fellow Sangha members.\nAll participants are strongly encouraged to wear masks during these classes.\nDisclaimer:\nProcedures adhere to current CDC\, NY State\, NYC\, and New York Zendo Shobo-Ji guidelines.\nChanges may be applied at any time\, based on these third-party guidelines. \nAll in-person programs may become online programs if circumstances dictate. \nFor the health and safety of our staff\, teachers\, and community\, please do not come onsite if you are feeling unwell.\nIf you have questions about your registration (cancellation policy\, membership discount\, email confirmation\, etc.)\, please read our FAQs. If your question is not addressed in the FAQs\, please email registration@nyimc.org. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact registration@nyimc.org. \n
