Experience Joy & Compassion in Community: Winter QTPOC Retreat
A Residential Retreat with Ramón Honea, Fresh “Lev” White and Kimi Mojica
December 14-18, 2022
WINTER 2022 QTPOC RETREAT
Overview
Let’s enhance the season with compassion and joy together! As queer, trans, gender-fabulous, and intersex People of Color we may find themselves at odds with all the celebration and joy during the holidays. Particularly this year with emboldened media attacks on our bodies and attempts to control our choices to live authentically, many of us may find ourselves left out and alone – separate from the families and communities that we need.
Please join in creating a refuge where we can meet each other as we are with compassion, as we also fuse in meditation, ritual, dharma, and music that encourages joy. We’ll experience silence, nature walking, altar making, and dancing along with lots of freedom and opportunities to rest.
This retreat welcomes all self-identified people of color who are LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex, asexual, and beyond). Our retreat is suited for new and seasoned practitioners of meditation.
