Going for Refuge
Mitra Community
Welcome, GFR Mitras!
This Mitra-initiated page lists some of the activities of our growing community. It is a welcoming space where GFR mitras can come together, support projects, including fundraising, and build a deeper sense of sangha.
Increasing Communication
In 2024, there was a desire to increase communication between GFR mitras.
This begins by creating an email list. If you would like to connect with other GFR Mitras, please complete the GFR Email Share List (opens a Google Form).
