Gender Diverse Sangha Retreat

Beyond the binary

This retreat is led by a team of gender diverse people for gender diverse people who who want to explore Buddhism with like minded people. Have you ever felt that you don't fit into the single-sex structures of Triratna? The retreat is for order members, mitras and those thinking of asking to become a mitra. We welcome all gender-diverse people including trans, non-binary, intersex, gender fluid, gender non-conforming and gender-questioning people to this event.
