A little wisdom for your Thursday morning.

"Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet. It is a way of entering into the quiet that is already there - buried under the 50,000 thoughts the average persona thinks every day."

Q***r Dharma is a weekly meditation session for anyone who identifies as a part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Meditation practice provides a warm, genuine basis for realizing the full potential of our inherent wisdom. Through the practice, we learn to touch into this wisdom, allowing us to live our lives with a mind that is more present and fully engaged. Waking up to our own inherent goodness has a natural impact on our family members, friends, co-workers, and our world at large.

Every Sunday from 5:30pm-7:30pm

37 N Carpenter St
Please arrive at 5:15pm
