Join us for a calm morning of mindfulness and meditation exploring the relationship between identity and presence. Pride and queer identity are not distractions from practice, and they are not things to be hidden or overcome. They are lived, real experiences in human life.
Pride, when it restores dignity after shame rather than inflating the ego above others, is not a barrier to Zen but a return to clear, honest presence. When layers of unconsciousness fall away, what remains has always had room for difference, embodiment, and truth. Through simple reflection, shared silence, and quiet presence, we sit with identity without needing to justify it, explain it, or dissolve it.
