Grow another root of your 2SLGBTQIA+ community by joining this series of intimate seasonal and nature-based virtual gatherings of entrepreneurs, artists, healers, and leaders from around the region.
Together, we’ll co-create a culture of care, joy, vulnerability, and connection as we dive into the energies of the Autumnal Equinox and explore its resonance in our professional and personal lives, relationships, and communities. With space for reflection and sharing, we’ll look at how this season is a beacon for balance and harmony, and how we can engage with this in ways that allow us to reset and rekindle our inner light.
2SLGBTQIA+ creatives near and far are welcome to gather in this virtual space! Participants can either register for the first circle of this series before committing to the full series or they can register for all three circles.
