A Note About Registration

To ensure a strong and supportive container, only individuals able to attend one of the first two meetings will be permitted to attend the full series. Before registering, please make sure that you are able to commit to attending at least three of the six weeks. Book clubs require a minimum of six participants to run. We aspire to create and hold an intimate space of deep learning, healing, and transformation.


Donation-Based

In order to support the continued offerings of the Mixed Race Meditation Group, we ask all participants to offer some type of dana or donation to confirm their registration. If you are unable to offer any dana at all, you can also register for free, no questions asked. There will also be an opportunity to offer dana at the end of the book club. All donations go to supporting administrative costs, future offerings, and the energy and time of our facilitators.

 

“When I am able to walk in the door embracing all aspects of my intersectional identity while allowing myself the grace to teach through my identity, I am transmitting a dharma from my experience of being at home in my body, where I am least likely to reproduce psychic violence, by offering dharma through a mind that denies and reject vital parts of myself.“

— Lama Rod Owens in Radical Dharma: Talking Race, Love and Liberation
