The format is one hour of sitting meditation (with a brief instruction), a reading & discussion, and time to nosh & socialize. We hope that by holding GLBT meeting on a weekly basis it will be easier for everyone to further their personal regular meditation practice as well as begin to get to know other LGBT persons and possibly make friends.
