Rainbow Yoga Retreat - September 2024 (Deposit)
Powerful being,
You are cordially invited to a Rainbow Yoga Retreat for Queer & Trans Folx in Ravenna, Ohio on September 20th - 22nd, 2024!
Connect deeply with your innermost Self, with the healing power of Community, and with the ancient teachings of Yoga...
🌀 We will gather to share daily Yoga & meditation, nature time, a ritual to celebrate the Autumn Equinox, community connection, and so much more. 🌀
*Note: This offering is open to any and all folx who identify as being a part of the LGBTQ+ community, and is a dedicated safe space by and for transgender and genderqueer people. 🌸 Please contact us with questions.
If you have not attended a retreat with Paisley before, please fill out an application prior to placing your deposit.
Our Intentions:
The intention of this gathering is to create a shared space to celebrate our identities! Queerness and gender expressions outside of the traditional binary are beautiful, even revered in some cultures. They enrich the human experience.
The "powers that be," namely the larger structures of capitalism, patriarchy, and organized religion, are inherently threatened by queerness. When we begin to see the concept of “gender” as one of many social constructs, other cultural and social expectations begin to unravel.
Taboos around self-expression disconnect us from our own innate power, and cause us to rely on external authority for spiritual guidance, health, and direction. We gather in community to share & integrate our experiences, to cultivate self-compassion, and to ultimately reclaim our power! 🤘🏽🏳️🌈
