Open to all self-identified BIPOC
Description:
The Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) Sangha is a weekly gathering of self-identified BIPOC practitioners that provides a safe place to meditate and explore the Dharma. As a beloved community, this sangha supports exploration of the Dharma in light of our experiences. Together, we will cultivate an environment that welcomes diverse voices and builds community.
Donation-Based (Dāna): Please support our Spirit Rock teachers, staff, and scholarships by giving as generously as you can. Suggested amount is between $10-$25. You can pay as much as you want.
On-Land in the Community Meditation Center:**
Space is limited for the on-land program! Pre-registration is required. We are asking everyone to pre-register for the in-person event. No “at-the-door” registrations. If you cannot join us in person, we encourage you to register for the Online version and you can participate by Zoom or watch the program later.
Special Opportunity! If you would like to extend your day on the land and join the daylong for BIPOC Voices following the morning session, click here. Or if you can’t join the morning session, you can come for the daylong only (11am – 4pm). The daylong program will only be held on the land and is not a hybrid. Come for one, or the other, or both! Separate registrations required for each part.
**Volunteer/Work Exchange opportunities for the On-Land program, which include full or partial Scholarships, may be available for the in-person program. For more information, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator at volunteering@spiritrock.org.
