This spring join us for another Queer & Well inspired by our cosmic connectedness! We know the personal is political, that we all are interconnected. We feel the importance of strengthening our communities and fortifying our safety as we continue to face the violence & oppression of the systems around us. As we continue to imagine, live, and build the liberatory futures we dream of, Queer & Well aims to nurture ourselves & our community as we know our self-care is inherently tied to our collective care.

We are honored to be joined by special guests including...
