LGBTQ+ Satsang: Feeding Everyone

As we prepare to enter the holiday season, join us as we reflect on Neem Karoli Baba’s instruction to “feed everyone”. As family, food, and community care enter the forefront of our consciousness, let’s dish! Bring your favorite recipes for holiday season success, as it pertains to mutual aid, family dinners, and self-care. Let’s gather together as a chosen queer spiritual family and dig into what it means to feed everyone.

“… I just think about it for a moment and I realize that this whole ritual of praying over food is part of all form, it’s part of law, it’s part of the universe. The food I’m praying over, the bowl of oatmeal or whatever I’m eating, is part of God and I, who am making this prayer, offering up this food, am part of God. And the hunger that I’m using the oatmeal to quiet, the pangs in my stomach, the desires, the fire which will consume this food, that’s also part of God. And I begin to sense the oneness of everything; I start to experience a quietness and then I understand that the deeper I appreciate that it is all one, the deeper I become one with it all, and sense that all separateness is over.” -Ram Dass
