QTIPOC Strong, BIPOC Retreat 2023: Experience Joy and Compassion in Community with Fresh “Lev” White, Ramón Honea, and Kimi Mojica: Dec 14 - 18

We want to celebrate with you!! 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 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 and song that encourages joy. We’ll experience silence, nature walking, and offer plenty of opportunities to rest in the magical Joshua Tree Desert..

This retreat welcomes all self identified BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Asian, Latinx, and all other people of color) and will be majority LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex, asexual, and beyond).  New and seasoned practitioners are welcome.
