ANNUAL FALL GAY BUDDHIST FELLOWSHIP WEEKEND RETREAT

The Buddha spoke of the Eight Worldly Winds: Gain and Loss, Praise and Blame, Pleasure and Pain, Fame and Disrepute, as experiences that often toss us around in our daily lives. As we practice to meet the ups and downs of life, we learn valuable insights about ourselves and each other. Rather than getting entrenched in dichotomies and blown around by uncertainty, we cultivate the capacity to meet the world with more compassion and grace. As we deepen our practice we learn ways to cope and to survive in these perilous times.

This retreat will include noble silence, and opportunities to connect in spiritual friendship, still and walking meditation, guided heart practice and chanting together.

We invite GBF members, friends, queer people of all genders, to join us for our retreat at the beautiful Land of Medicine Buddha in Soquel, CA: https://landofmedicinebuddha.org .
