Queeriousities

Transform, restore, and remember your power in community.

In a world that often asks us to shrink, Queeriousities invites us to expand — into our bodies, our truths, and our collective power.

Together, we will journey into the queer magic inherent in our bodies, emotions, minds, eros, community, and in our integration with wider systems and nature. In community, we will discover and share more integrated expressions of the beauty of queer consciousness, and cultivate the gifts queerness brings to the world in these complex times.

This gathering is designed for multi-spectrum queers of all ages — including non-binary, Two Spirit, gender-fluid, gender non-conforming, trans, bisexual, and pansexual people, as well as the LGBTQIA2S+ people who support them. Here, we especially invite parts of the queer spectrum that are not often centred, and we welcome every expression of queerness as sacred and whole.

Set against the breathtaking natural beauty of Gabriola Island, this immersive experience will include:

• Nature immersion & connection

• Embodiment & movement practices

• Queer philosophy & exploration

• Group therapy & process

• Joy practices

Through deep rest, shared ritual, and playful exploration, Queeriousities becomes a container for both personal restoration and collective liberation. Join us on a journey of discovery — of who we are, and the magic we hold when we come together.
