Queer & Well Presents: Recharge & Unplug

Rooted in Connection: A Queer-Centered Forest Experience

This guided hike invites LGBTQ+ community members to reconnect with land, self, and each other through the elements of nature—water, earth, air, and fire. At each stop, we’ll explore forest ecology while engaging in meditation and gentle somatic movement practices like Qi Gong. Each element will serve as a metaphor: grounding with earth, flowing with water, expanding with air, and igniting inner light with fire. Together, we’ll cultivate a deeper sense of belonging—to ourselves, our community, and the living world. This program invites participants of all experience levels to engage mindfully with the forest through curiosity, breath, and gentle movement.
