Sisterly

What was it like to come out in the 1970s and 80s? What is it like to come out now? What stories would you like to tell about coming into your full gender expression, whether as trans, butch, femme, androgynous, nonbinary, agender, or something equally glorious? What other stories are important to your lesbian or queer development?

Stories are how we connect, how we learn about one another, how we come to love one another. As elders, middle-aged people, and young queer and trans people in a world too often hostile, we need each other. Let’s build friendships across the generations.

This retreat builds on nearly 40 years of “Sisterly Conversations” retreats for people who identify as lesbians of faith and spirit. The weekend is open to anyone who relates to identities that might be named that way. Trans and nonbinary people are warmly welcomed.

NOTE: Scholarships are available for this event! To inquire, email lydiawk [at] kirkridge [dot] org with the amount you can pay. We will do our best to cover the rest.
