Lecture Series
We are thrilled to announce our upcoming lecture series Expanding Your Queer Love: Finding Home in Oneself and the World! For this series, RAD is teaming up with Brother Bao Tang of the Plum Village Upper Hamlet. In four lectures, we will journey together from self to other to community to the world. The series begins with Queer self-love, where we will learn practices for letting go and healing. In the second lecture, Queer relationships, we will explore deep intimacy beyond romanticism and sexuality, through partnership, friendship, and family. In the third lecture, The Buddha in the community, Brother Bao Tang will go deeper into Thay's vision that the Next Buddha will be in the form of community, and why that includes the queer community. For the final session in the series Brother Bao Tang will be In dialogue with transgender practitioners, taking an honest look at the obstacles still to be overcome and sharing an optimistic vision for the future.
The lecture series is open for all, whether new to the practice or with many years experience. Each session will include an opening meditation, lecture, and ample room for questions and answers with the Brother. Sessions will be held monthly on Saturdays.
