Unashamed: A LGBTQIA+ Retreat for Individuals and Couples

Our Summer 2023 retreat is designed for LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples! If you're part of the queer community and looking to for a chance to get away, recharge, and build meaningful relationships in a safe space with other queer people, you are invited to join us for this 4 days/3 nights gathering! Whether you're energized or burnt out, recently out or have been out for a long time, we invite you to come away for a weekend of restoration, rejuvenation, and rich conversation with others who understand  the intricacies that come with being queer. Our schedule will allow for conversation and fun, introspection and healing, laughter and tears. Wherever you're at and whatever you're facing in your current season of life, investing in this weekend will provide you the opportunity to recharge and have a whole new group of friends to come alongside you for the journey!

• This retreat is intentionally limited to 14 people to maximize community building and facilitate both personal introspection as well as cultivate relationships designed to last a lifetime.
   

• This retreat has space for 4 couples and 6 singles. Singles will have a private bed in a shared a room with one to three other people. Couples will have a private room to themselves with a queen or king bed and en suite bath. Friends who are willing to share a queen or king bed, or individuals who want a room to themselves are also welcome to register for a “couples” room. (See accommodations)
   

• Spots are on a first-come, first-served basis. Come by yourself or with your partner/spouse for a true getaway! (Poly/ENM are fully affirmed in this space. If you are part of a triad/group and are interested in attending together, please reach out so we can accommodate you.)
