Daylong to be held on the land only!
Open to all self-identified BIPOC
Description:
Come together at Spirit Rock for an on-land daylong version of the Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) Saṅgha. Our weekly BIPOC Voices gathering of self-identified BIPOC practitioners provides a safe place to meditate and explore the Dharma. As a beloved community, this saṅgha supports exploration of the Dharma in light of our experiences. Together we cultivate an environment that welcomes diverse voices and builds community.
We will practice in silence, with walking, sitting, and lying down practice. At the end of the day, we will make room for community connection and reflection.
Special Opportunity! We invite you to extend this 11am – 4pm daylong by enjoying BIPOC Voices in the Great Hall from 9:00-10:30am PRIOR to this daylong segment. Our weekly BIPOC Voices will be held as a hybrid on this particular Sunday. The daylong program will only be held on the land and is not a hybrid. Separate registrations will be required for each program segment. If you’d like to add on the morning segment, click here to register.
Come for one, or the other, or both!
