Join our queer hearts at a chill meet-and-greet event with a sampling of informational talks and experiential demos from queer wellness practitioners. Meet counselors, massage therapists, acupuncturists, creatives, and other queer practitioners, and learn more about their services; all in a queer-owned community space! Stay for the whole day, or pop in for the segments that interest you. Our schedule  for the day can be found below.

​

This years event will include resources for care, practitioner information, and small offerings that give you a chance to learn a bit more about how we show up in health and wellness for you.

In addition to all of this we encourage you to engage with us through a fun scavenger hunt that will invite curiosity with an opportunity to win avariety of prizes!

 

This event does not require monetary exchange; rather, curiosity and engagement with community. We are so excited to gather with community in this way and hope to see you at the event!
