Tova Green will be meeting with LGBTQIA+ identified AZC sangha members. She will share her experience of co-founding and sustaining a Queer Dharma group at San Francisco Zen Center, with time for questions. After that we’ll each have an opportunity to share our way-seeking, queer-seeking journeys. We’ll close with tea and cookies.
