In 2023 the theme for The Gathering was “World Building”, we gathered as a community to dream of what we want to build. While it’s important to know what we stand against, we must also know what we stand for. What will we build with each other?

Join us this year, the theme is Embodied Care, we will focus on teachings from Black q***r & trans somatic and movement practitioners. This year we will be in our bodies and allow ourselves to connect with the wisdom that lives there.

Join us on March 6, 2026 for a reflective and holistic Virtual Black Joy Retreat. A space for Black 2SLGBTQIA+ people to gather centred on care. Through storytelling, somatic practice, and grounded rituals, we cultivate a space where restoration and presence are prioritized and healing becomes possible in the community.

If you are not in the GTA but still want to build community and take an evening to reconnect with yourself, this may be the perfect space for you!

If you are joining us the next day for The Gathering in person, this is the pre game to build the vibes and start connecting with us and the community.
