This queer-focused, queer-led group is for LGBTQI+ practitioners and those seeking fellowship with queer sangha. We will gather for practice, conversation, and community rooted in dharma, belonging, and queer lived experience.
This is a space for the questions, humor, complexity, history, resilience, and joy that queer people may bring to the path. A space for honest conversation and shared practice, where queer experience does not have to be translated, minimized, or left outside the shrine room door.
We hope this group will help KTC’s queer sangha become more visible, connected, and accessible, including for people who are newer, returning, questioning, far away, or looking for a way to connect with our community.
The Queer Sangha group will meet at 6:00 PM on the 4th Wednesday of the month in the KTC Community Room. Come in person if possible, or, if you would like to attend by Zoom, please email queersangha@columbusktc.org in advance and we will send you the Zoom information. Please also email if you have any questions or want to learn more about the group.

Thanks to the work of a dedicated core of volunteers, the KTC Children’s Class started with smiles and applause in October 2023.

Meeting in the Children’s Room on the lower level of the KTC from 11:30 to 12:30 on the First and Third Sundays of the month, youths ages 5-10 practice meditation together, hear stories told by the Buddha about virtuous actions (called Jataka Tales), do yoga poses, make crafts, play games and light candles on the special Youth Shrine and pray for those in need.

Activities are aimed at younger children, but those up to age 12 are welcome to attend.

Please register your child ahead of time through our Eventbrite link here: https://www.eventbrite.com/…/ktc-childrens-program…
