For the past 10 years there have been activities for Gender Diverse practitioners in the UK, including day and weekend retreats, mitra study both in person and online, awareness training for centres, and an international meeting for gender diverse allies and friends in the Order. These have seeded activities for gender diverse people in local centres and provided a vital context for those who do not feel met by the binary system. As well, a chapter of gender diverse order members are involved in supporting mitras and those training for ordination, and were involved in running the retreat at Adhisthana this year (our retreat next year is Sept 12-15 at Adhisthana). Some of the activities of this chapter in supporting gender diversity inclusion are supported financially by the European Chairs Assembly.
If you consider yourself gender diverse and would like to connect with others in Triratna, please contact Nagakusala (fremder@riseup.net) to be added to an international Whatsapp group.
