Join us for a conversation between the Very Reverend Winnie Varghese and Dr. Rima Vesely-Flad followed by a book signing. Dr. Vesely-Flad’s new book The Fire Inside: The Dharma of James Baldwin and Audre Lorde engages the voices of these two renowned Black, queer thinkers/writers in discourse with Buddhist teachings and practices. It is also both part memoir, as Dr. Vesely-Flad describes the emotional process of connecting with her Black family roots, and part expressly political within a dharma context.
Discussion: 1pm-2pm
Book Signing: 2pm-3pm
Tickets are free with reservation and will be available beginning on April 6 as part of the Cathedral’s Pride programming.
