The Queer Mystic retreat is an invitation to breathe, listen, and give yourself space to exist wholly, in the magic all around us.
Mana Grove, Win Place Home, and A Haven for Us bring you,
THE QUEER MYSTIC
A Day of Safety, Grounding, and Support for the Queer Community
Come home to your body, come back to Earth, and find your magic in community.
The Queer Mystic is a nature-based gathering created for LGBTQIA+ people seeking a safe space for connection – to themselves, to one another, to animals, and the natural world that encompasses all of us.
Rooted in embodiment, energy work, ritual, and community, this intimate day-long retreat invites you to slow down, reconnect with your senses, explore your intuition, and experience the many ways we can care for ourselves and each other.
Think of it as Witchcraft for the soul, with resources!
We’ll explore the magic in our energy through conversation and somatic work while surrounded by nature.
Whether you consider yourself spiritual, curious, witchy, skeptical, or somewhere in between – you are welcome here.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Grounding With the Herd: Energy Work With Horses
Spend intentional time connecting with horses through guided, grounding experiences designed to encourage presence, intuition, and embodied awareness.
Horses are incredibly sensitive to energy and nonverbal communication because their hearts emit an electro magnetic field several meters out from them in what we call a coherent heart rhythm. This emf acts like an aura that stimulates our vagus nerve and synchronizes with our heartbeat, pulling us out of our humanely-wired and stressed out state, and in to a more grounded, calm, and steady one.
Through mindful interaction, you’ll have the opportunity to slow down, become more aware of your body, and explore what emerges when we connect without needing words.
No horse experience is necessary.
Wildcrafted Intentions: Build Your Own Smudge Stick
The act of burning herbs and plants for ceremonial and cleansing purposes is thousands of years old.
We’ll make space for a grounding ritual centered around queer support, connection, and collective intention, while making our own smudge sticks, or better known as sage sticks.
We’ll create space to release what no longer serves us, honor the people and experiences that have shaped us, and intentionally call in the kind of support, belonging, and community we want to cultivate.
A Ritual of Returning: Somatic Inner Work
Come curious. Come open. Come exactly as you are.
Our Ritual of Returning invites you to step out of your mind and into the magic of your body. Through movement, breath, energy, and intuitive practices, we’ll explore the sensations and emotions that move through us, uncover what may be asking for our attention, and create space for release and transformation.
Come listen to your body, trust your intuition, and reconnect with the ancient wisdom already woven into you.
Tools for the Tender Hearted, Brew & Breathe, and Mystic Market
Shop local and queer- and ally-owned goods, discover new practitioners, connect with community organizations, and support the people helping create a more connected and mystical community.
Enjoy complimentary coffee from our onsite coffee vendor while participating in an informational-focused conversation that invites you to ask questions, explore resources, and find direct support for queer individuals in the Los Angeles, and neighboring, areas.
Vibrations and Visions Sound Bath
To end the day, and before saying goodbye, attendees will bathe in the sounds and vibrations of delicate instruments as we guide you into a deeper state of rest and grounding, surrounded by the natural sounds of the mountains around. Mini horses will wander through out the crowd, synching with each heart for a more grounding and energetic experience,
A DAY OF CONNECTION
Throughout the retreat, you’ll have opportunities to:
Connect with horses and nature
Explore somatic and energetic practices
Build meaningful queer community
Participate in community rituals
Meet artists, healers, and small businesses
Rest, reflect, and reconnect with yourself
Explore resources for LGBTQIA+ people
Experience a magical sound bath
Slow down and make space for joy
You don’t have to arrive with a particular spiritual practice or belief system; There’s no “right” way to be a mystic, you simply are.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
The Queer Mystic is created primarily for the LGBTQIA+ community and our allies who are interested in nature, spirituality, embodiment, animals, energy work, personal exploration, or simply spending a beautiful day surrounded by good people.
Whether you’re deeply connected to your spiritual practice or just curious about exploring something new, you’re invited.
Come as you are.
Bring your curiosity.
Bring your questions.
Bring your weird little magic.
