This peer-led sitting group is created by and for *racialized folks to foster mutual support and understanding for those who identify as a racialized person and who find inspiration in the practice of Buddhism. We strive to provide an inclusive space that reflects intersectional experiences.
Our sits generally/typically includes:
o Seated meditation
o Walking meditation and/or stretching
o A dharma reflection from a selected reading
o A sharing circle
o Community announcements
* In recognizing that “race” is a social construct, we are using the term “racialized person” or racialized group, instead of what may be considered less accurate terms such as “racial minority”, “visible minority”, “person of colour” or “non-White”. We are also mindful that, when it comes to “race” and the terms one uses to self-identify, using a broad term to describe a group is equally as challenging and there is no one-size-fits-all language.
