with Dr. Leroy Ballard
Come join us for a Queer & Trans Mindfulness Retreat led by Dr. Leroy Ballard, author of A Queer Dharma: Yoga and Meditations for Liberation.
This retreat is open to all members of the local LGBTIQQA2S+ community. No prior experience in yoga or meditation is necessary; just bring your heart and body as they are. Come alone or come with a friend, and feel welcome to take up space in community.
We will explore queer joy and brilliance-naming, sharing, and celebrating the unique contributions, resilience, and leadership of our community. We will move freely and expressively, and we will rest deeply. We will practice breathing techniques that can keep yourself uplifted when times are hard. We will laugh together and we will connect with one another’s beautiful hearts.
