Tonight we have Greg Chaffin from Bloomington High School North to talk about some exciting news for himself and the school. Chaffin wrote and was awarded the 2020 Lilly Endowment Inc. Teacher Creativity Fellowship Grant program for his project titled “From Surviving to Thriving: Walking the Historical Pathway of Pride for LGBTQ Rights and Equality.” a grant that will help create a curriculum for LGBTQ+ topics. The mission of the project is to enhance knowledge of supportive cultural activities and develop pride by experiencing gay-affirming communities and events in predominantly Scandinavian countries. Tune in to hear more details about the project from Chaffin!

Upcoming Events:
When we gain a new perspective, we expand our ability to understand complex issues and increase our ability to empathize with others. Join us on March 6th from 6-9 at the Buskirk Chumley Theater for a night of engaging talks that will give you new perspectives and ideas worth spreading. Tickets are on sale now at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater and online.
Our social hour is always the second Monday of the month from 5 to around 7pm or so. Some of us drink, some don’t. Some of us eat, some don’t. All of us talk. Come join us.
A painful past can define us and affect how we respond now. By applying wisdom and training in meditation, we can learn how to accept and transform the past. We can find the peace we long for and feel confident about our future.
Classes include guided meditation, a talk based on practical wisdom for daily life, and Q&A. No experience is needed. Chairs and cushions are provided. Everyone is welcome!
Cost: $10 | $5 students | FREE for monthly card holders!
Our Resident Teacher is Kadampa Buddhist nun Gen Tsoglam. She has been practicing, and teaching Kadampa Buddhism for many years under the guidance of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. Her teachings are heartfelt, practical, and presented with warmth and humor, making them accessible to everyone.
