After practice we will have a special guest speaker, Ella Baker. Ella spoke at the well-received panel Gender Diversity/Queerness: Creating a Welcoming Sangha, at the Kwan Um School of Zen’s Dharma Teacher Weekend and will be giving a short talk and answering questions on the emptiness of identity and skillful means in relation to gender and transitioning. Ella is a Korean-American educator, poet, and dharma teacher in training at Dharma Zen Center in Los Angeles.
