Open Sky serves the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community by offering Buddhist teachings and meditation practice in an open and inclusive environment.

We are dedicated to providing you with a diverse and practical experience of the dharma by sharing it in a way that is accessible and relates to our modern day circumstances.

Open Sky provides a space for meditation instruction and practice, dharma talks and discussions, contemplative arts workshops, mindful movement practice, and mutual support. We meet several times each month at various locations within New York City.

Our teachers, dharma talks and events encompass a rich and diverse range of relevant Buddhist teachings and subjects.

We meet on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month at the New York Insight Meditation Center and on the 1st Thursday and 1st Saturday of each month at the LGBT Center.

We are open to newcomers, seasoned Buddhists, and everyone in between. Everyone is valuable and everyone is welcome.
