A silent mindfulness retreat for the LGBTQIA+ community. This is an opportunity to come together in the safety of community, embracing all of ourselves, as we cultivate the wholesome and loving qualities of our hearts and minds.

Suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners who self-identify as LGBTQIA+.
