The Queer Richmond Sangha (QRS) welcomes and serves people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual or otherwise gender or sexuality non-conforming. QRS offers a community for exploring topics of dharma and meditation from and for the
LGBTQIA+ perspective.

Rumi said: “Stay together, friends. Don’t scatter and sleep.
Our friendship is made of being awake.” Bell Hooks said: “Beloved community is formed not by the eradication of difference but by its affirmation.” And Larry Yang said: “Changing the demographics can provide a safer space
for marginalized communities.”

Let’s come together and explore spiritual growth through a felt sense of belonging.

Mindful movement and meditation
