A silent mindfulness half-day retreat for the LGBTQIA+ community. This is an opportunity to come together in the safety of our beloved sangha, embracing all of ourselves, as we cultivate wholesome qualities of our hearts and minds. There will be alternating sitting and walking meditation, instruction, and relational practice. 

This retreat is open to both experienced and beginner meditators who self-identify as queer, questioning, trans, nonbinary, genderqueer, bisexual, lesbian, gay, agender, intersex, or two-spirit.
