Introduction

I was a member of a queer Taoist group 10 years, maybe more back. I'm thinking I might have met some of your current members from that previous Taoist group. I identify as a Buddhist who mixes a healthy dose of Taoist philosophy in my life.

Majority of SF Queer Taoists group members are gay/lesbian, are you OK with that?

I'm queer so that is just fine.

SF Queer Taoists meets in San Francisco biweekly on Wednesday nights, either in a member's home or at a Cafe, does this sound good?

Yes, sounds like the previous group.

SF Queer Taoists is a "study" group, we read a short text from Lao Tzu or Chuang Tzu, and members get to talk about how the ancient text applies to our daily life. It may be related to any current personal, social, and political events. Interested?

Like before, sounds like previous group.

SF Queer Taoists is a small and intimate group. Are you looking for a large group? If yes, our group may not be a match for you.

Not a problem I prefer small groups.

How much do you know about Taoism? It is definitely not an requirement, as long as you are interested in this philosophy. We do talk about Feng Sui, Ying & Yang, Tai Chi, I-Ching etc. in addition to ancient Daoists classics.

What I know is how Taoism has played a part in my spiritual progression. I'm by no means anywhere near scholarly in my knowledge, but that seems beside the point. It calls to me, that is what matters.

  • Hi Laura! I'm so glad you've joined us! Welcome. We are very crafty and you don't need any experience, so we'll have some fun. :) My best friend comes to most of our events and she just wrapped up 4 years at a Buddhist Monastery, so perhaps the two of you can have some nice chats. See you soon!
