Refuge Circles


Register here: bit.ly/bpfrefuge

We are called to practice together in sangha during these heart-shattering and activating times. This is a spiritually-politically aligned space for us to ground in our practice with community, especially in times of grief, loss, rage at ongoing harm from systems of oppression. This is a space to hold all of the spectrum of feelings and experiences that may be arising during this time.

This is not a space for discussion and sharing of views. We are committed towards peace and liberation so all beings may be safe and free from harm. As such, we call for an immediate complete ceasefire on Gaza and in solidarity with Palestinian liberation. We welcome politicized teachers from various Buddhist lineages lifting up Heritage and BIPOC voices.
