Queer Sangha / Community Meditation + Dharma

This group is queer and trans facilitated. It is intended to be a safe space for queer and trans people to listen and share alongside one another in an accepting community. Everyone is invited to introduce themselves and the facilitator will share an introduction along with a brief dharma teaching. The facilitator will guide the group into a short meditation, and the remaining time will be spent in community discussion. All paths are welcome and all people are encouraged to attend.

This group is led by Elias Flowers! Learn about them below:

My name is Elias Flowers and I have been studying and practicing meditation and yoga since 2016. I have my RYT 500 hour certification from the Raja Hatha School of Yoga in Madison, WI. My interest in Buddhist psychology and meditation is what initially drew me to the practice of yoga. Now, it is a very personal practice for me, and I hope to help others to cultivate their own personal relationship to yoga. I work for a non-profit as a resiliency specialist in individualized trauma services. I also have a master's degree in education, and am back in school pursuing a masters degree in clinical mental health. I also enjoy climbing, backpacking, traveling, running, biking, cooking, and reading.
