John Frias Morales, Dr.BA, conducted an empirical case study of the GBF under the guidance of Golden Gate University professor Lee Robbins, Ph.D. Morales analyzed hundreds of GBF historical documents (1994-2012) and elicited 24 oral histories to answer the question: how does the relationship between gay fellowship and dharma inquiry impact a nonduality consciousness? Morales will reflect on the transformation and values he observed and documented. He lives with his partner in Sacramento, works as a data scientist in healthcare, and teaches management courses as an adjunct professor.
