Agape Unbound: Unapologetically Queer

A family inclusive weekend retreat to playfully dance, explore, and play with our ever-changing identities surrounded by friends and family.

* Email laceyh@kirkridge.org if you want to add on Thursday night + additional meals 

What does it mean to be queer a quarter of the way into the 21st century?  What is it to identify as belonging somewhere on the queer spectrums? How do our ever-changing identities intersect and shape the way we move through our lives? How do we build community that affirms and lifts our identity and supports our needs now as we move through the middle of life? Join us for a weekend to joyfully dance with such questions, and many more, with old friends and new as we consider what it is to be queer and alive in this time. We will open space for the universal energies of renewal, rebirth, and love to come pouring in as we welcome the fire of alchemical transformation of spirit while deconstructing dualism and hierarchy…and giggle as we do.

This special weekend will offer a Thursday evening start for those who wish a longer retreat on Blue Mountain with formal programing running Friday evening through Sunday lunch. This is a family inclusive event, littles are welcome too. Childcare and activities will be provided to allow participants to fully focus on the group sessions as well as finding personal time for reflection. Saturday night will conclude with the traditional “dance” and talent show so bring your fabulous outfits and whatever, if any, talent offerings you wish to contribute. Please, we can only accommodate one tuba flugelhorn duet this year.
