A deeply precious opportunity to practice meditation, build community and cultivate joy with other LGBTQ+ folks – finding the courage to turn towards ourselves, others and the fullness of our lives.

When we deeply inhabit our body it gives us a resource from which to walk through life more easefully, freely and joyfully. On this retreat, we will use different methods to help us find the support to witness and engage with ourselves, and others, with love, kindness, courage, and joy. 

Alongside meditations focusing on breath, body and heart, there will be exercises focussing on the energy centres in the body that lead to an increasing awareness of our energetic/somatic being. This builds our resources both inner, outer and higher to help us find the true ground of our “being-ness”. From this ground we can courageously meet life, and see the deeper truths of reality. 

We will be working in healing circles several times during the week which is a practice of deep listening and speaking, which allows for connection and healing, and serves as an interpersonal meditation practice. 

This retreat is suitable for people with at least six months regular meditation practice, are comfortable with periods of unguided practice, and who have attended at least one full week's retreat before. For more information, read the retreat information sheet.
