An insightful talk from Guest Teacher, Rev. Syd Yang, at A2Z Meditation Group, 7-20-26. A jump-off, in some ways, from Rev. Syd' interview of Rev. Liên earlier in July for their new podcast "The Dharma of Loneliness."
Stay listening for Rev. Syd's A.I.R. practice near the end of the episode!
GUEST:
Rev. Syd Yang, MDiv (they/them), host of The Dharma of Loneliness podcast, is a mixed race/Taiwanese American queer trans/non-binary Buddhist Minister, movement chaplain, spiritual counselor and writer who engages decolonial possibilities for shared liberation through their practice, Blue Jaguar Healing Arts. Syd’s work and writing finds its resonance in the stories we each hold at the intersection of memory, body, sexuality and mental health. Syd works primarily with queer and trans BIPOC as well as regularly leads workshops and facilitates community based practice spaces for wellbeing + healing justice, body liberation and recovery.
