Why Do We Practice? A BIPOC Meditation Retreat

In this half day retreat, we’ll meditate and be in community together, with a theme of connecting to why we practice: what’s the point of meditation and Buddhist practice, where does stress relief come in, and is that different from relief of suffering?

The day will be facilitated by Nashville POC Sangha co-founder Jennifer Wang and will include guided and silent meditation, a talk given by Jennifer, and group discussion and Q&A. The retreat is meant to be experienced in its entirety so please arrive a few minutes early to get settled into your seat so that we can start promptly at 10am. To experience the retreat fully, we encourage you to plan ahead so that as much as possible, you can disconnect from your device and dedicate yourself to your practice for the duration of the retreat.

This retreat is free of charge, suggested $25 donation. Facilitators are not compensated, funds go directly toward the sustainability of Nashville People of Color Sangha and a donation to Wild Heart Meditation Center for hosting us. Tea and snacks will be provided.

Open to all self-identified people of color. Come as you are, no meditation experience needed!
