Every Sunday / 6-7 PM Central Time / First Sunday of the Month, In-Person Hybrid, Rest of the month online!

Q***r Dharma is a weekly meditation group where LGBTQIA+ people can form a non-judgmental community while deepening our meditation practices based on openness, curiosity, and gentleness. Please join us weekly, every Sunday from 6-7 PM.

Starting October 1st we will start hosting in-person/hybrid. The first Sunday of the month will be in person/hybrid and we will be hosting the rest of the month online. For the First Sunday of the month we will be meeting at 5:30 in person then joining everyone online with the same current schedule.

Please join at 6 - 6:10 PM for introductions, 6:10 - 7:00 PM, meditation, walking meditation, closing and checkout. Hosted by Bill O'Brien and Jonathan Parker.

Meditation practice provides a warm, genuine basis for realizing the full potential of our inherent wisdom. Through the practice, we learn to touch into this wisdom, allowing us to live our lives with a mind that is more present and fully engaged. Waking up to our own inherent goodness has a natural impact on our family members, friends, co-workers, and our world at large.

For in person sitting masks are required to be worn by all participants.

Mark Coleman is a wonderful dharma teacher in the Insight Meditation tradition based out of northern California. One of his passions is connecting to the dharma through direct contact with nature. He will be doing a short version of his Awake in the Wild retreat online on Friday, April 2 from 11 AM to 3 PM Chicago time.

On this retreat you could be meditating in your garden, on your deck or in a safe space in nature, practicing of course, social distancing.
