Open to Self-identified LGBTQIA+

An LGBTQIA+ Retreat featuring meditation, music, and movement.

Description:
Practicing compassion for ourselves and others in community allows us to be sustainable in our personal and community struggles. It also often supports us in allowing new wisdom, joy, and love as part of our life experiences.

Join us, as we dip into the Buddhist practices of compassion for self and other. We will delve into compassion phrases, guided and silent meditation, mindful movement, as well as explore voice work and sound healing.

No previous experience with meditation or singing needed to join. Movement offerings will be accessible for all practitioners.

All are welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of funds as space allows. For more information, please email Registration@spiritrock.org.
