Join us on in a joyful celebration of Queer Mystical Resilience, drawing on the ecstatic contemplative traditions of our walks-between, two-spirit, queer, non-binary and LGBTQ ancestors!
Throughout human history, our Queer ancestors have served as bridge-people, shamans, scouts, storytellers, artists, healers, mediators and diplomats – but above all, as mystics. From the ancient Greeks to the Sufi Masters, from Troubadors to Christian Hesychasts, from Medieval Beguines and Beghards and Two-Spirit Traditions to contemporary Queer Mystics and Radical Faeries, something inherent to the queer spirit calls us to stand in the spaces between, integrating spirit and flesh, male and female, light and darkness, immanence and transcendence in our own being. We cross all boundaries of race, class, religion and gender, shattering the categories of human understanding. We feel the ecstatic pulse of the holy in our bones, and throughout human history this deep inner knowing has called us to acts of extraordinary love, creativity, and spiritual devotion.

Our gifts have never been more needed than they are right now.
For six days, we invite you to unplug from your devices, catch your breath, and remember what it feels like to relax, play, and enjoy the company of other soulful gay men. In this playful and inspiring meditation retreat in the magnificent landscape of New Mexico, we will draw upon the wisdom and practices of our queer mystical ancestors to:
- Cultivate ecstasy and use it to transcend differences, divisions and separations
- Embrace our otherness, seeing ourselves in non-binary, radical, and life-giving ways
- Relax our hearts, minds, and bodies into joyful, loving presence
- Rest our attention in the deepest truths of our being through contemplative practice
- Celebrate our lives and our gifts by enjoying, enacting, and appreciating our truths in the world
- Grow our Resilience, drawing strength from our truths to navigate adversity, adapt, change, and thrive
