Evening Delight: Sacred Queer Connection

As we return to the bustle of January, take an evening to soften—into the quiet, into the slow, into who you really are. From that place, we’ll connect with one another from our deeper, stiller selves.

Queerness is about questioning and dissolving the boxes we were placed in, and allowing who we truly are to emerge from the space between. In this intimate, heart-centered workshop, we’ll begin by leaning into the yin: the receptive, the feminine, the dissolved. Together, we’ll invite our nervous systems to slow down and reattune.

From this softened foundation, a more authentic yang energy—the masculine, the active, the expressed—can arise naturally. From here, we’ll connect with one another through the subtle dance between doing and non-doing, giving and receiving, holding and being held. You’ll be invited to find your find your own true place of “yes” — for yourself, and with others in the room.

Any time we meet from essence to essence, connection becomes both a queering of the world and a sacred act.

From this place of grounded, shared centeredness—within yourself and as a group field—the second half of the evening opens into unstructured connection time.

Guided Experience (60-75 minutes)
A lightly structured, facilitated playshop focused on slowing down, attunement, and authentic connection. Exercises may be solo, paired, or in small groups. You are always welcome to opt out or take space.

Open Connection Space
After the guided portion, the evening opens into free space to mingle, rest, and connect at your own pace, including:

• a giant cuddle daybed
• a massage table
• tea service and light snacks
• connection games and oracle cards
• cozy nooks for conversation or gentle touch

Closing Circle
We’ll close together as a group, offering a intentional, relational completion to the evening.

• This is a sober event
• Consent is central; touch is always optional
• Please arrive on time so we can build the container together
• We invite you to stay for the full three hours, including the closing circle
• Parking in the Mission can be challenging—please plan extra time or take public transit
