We know how to live through their eyes. We can always play their games, but are we denying ourselves by doing this? If you're going to carry the ugly green frogskin of conformity over you, you are going to suppress the beautiful prince or princess within you

Retreat Center Mission

We call all Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered People:
healers, shamans, visionaries, truth-tellers, artists and activists
to join hands and hearts to celebrate and explore who
we are as a queer global tribe!

Radical Faerie Banner in Sydney Pride ParadeThe world is changing rapidly. We are more globally interconnected than ever before in the history of humankind. How will our international family of queer people step up and claim our freedom and security everywhere?

Let us join together to celebrate our love, lives and sexualities while strategizing how to improve the well-being of queer people everywhere.

Gather with us for a seven-day International Pangender Convocation that celebrates our virtues as a people and explores the state of LGBT liberation and wellness.

Queer people of every culture on the planet join together!

Let us consider and articulate the gifts we possess and the crucial role we play in contributing  to our own cultures around the globe. Where are we respected and honored? Where are we misunderstood and oppressed? What strategies can we create to link arms and form an intentional worldwide network of loving companions?

Let us strengthen our global tribe by sharing stories of our own journeys and the insights we’ve gained. Let’s create a planetary community of love and support for all LGBT people.
