Ancestor ceremony
Through elemental magic, movement and writing we will undergo a meditative journey of stepping back into three ancestors of our choice.

My divine path
What does an authentic life mean?
I always felt that I had to find my authentic path and lead the life that my Atma/Self/Soul was born into my body to lead. But how would we know what that is?
What is our reality, and does it actually matter?

Qi Gong practice
Radical acceptance, deep welcome
As queer spirits we cross the veil and stand between the worlds in our myriad, liquorice-allsort ways.
Being met, seen, held and celebrated by the open loving hearts of others is key to collective change needed as well as for our own liberation.
This ritual, based on the indigenous teachings of the Dagara people, offers a powerful, deep and embodied experience. The Dagara gave special status to non-binary and queer people, who were often seen as the shamans and healers.

Rescuing Inanna
When Inanna is captured in the underworld, she is rescued by divine and undeniably queer figures.
Using this story as a jumping off point, we’ll explore how the themes of this ancient myth resonate with our personal queer experience, and dive into our own unique creativity to create a short piece inspired by it.
