About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

What was it like to come out in the 1970s and 80s? What is it like to come out now? What stories would you like to tell about coming into your full gender expression, whether as trans, butch, femme, androgynous, nonbinary, agender, or something equally glorious.

Stories are how we connect, how we learn about one another, how we come to love one another. As elders, middle-aged people, and young queer and trans people in a world too often hostile, we need each other. Let’s build friendships across the generations.

This retreat builds on nearly 40 years of “Sisterly Conversation” retreats for people who identify as lesbians of faith and spirit. The weekend is open to anyone who relates to identities that might be named that way. Trans and nonbinary people are warmly welcomed.

 

 Facilitators: Riot Mueller and Grace Aheron

Humility and Dignity Retreat
Excellent leadership. Well-paced. Community building. Beautiful setting. Gardening built into the weekend. Sessions were intimate and creative, especially appreciated the collective dream work. Another good fit for the entire program. Thanks to the Kirkridge Community.

Love this place!
I've been 3 times now and each time was in a new place/space. It's a rustic blast from the past vibes is filled with love, the charge of hope and action towards community. I have enjoyed every stay and appreciate the leadership team at Kirkridge. They are fantastic human beings. <3

very wet wild church!
So I showed up for a very wet Wild Church on Wed. April 3-- and it was great!

What sweet, caring people! What a nice, thoughtful, short & compelling worship service- also wet!

What a nice, simple - but yummy- covered dish supper, to boot!

And what a nice, warm and dry night's stay afterwards at an extremely affordable price!

The best simple evening I've had in a long time. I will do it again. You should, too!
