We have been running our Out in the Open Summits for Rural & Smalltown LGBTQ+ Folks since 2015.

Summits are places to gather in community, (re)connect with and actively queer rural traditions, build relationships and trust among other rural and small town LGBTQ+ people, celebrate & grieve together, and create a roadmap to move us closer to our collectively liberated and joyful futures.

We’ve offered sessions on goat care & cheesemaking, alternatives to policing, creating your own drag character, and everything in between. Join us at these now more-than-annual gatherings!

We’re building on our years of successful Summits by moving into longer gatherings of smaller groups, aimed at deepening connections, giving us more time to dig into topics and skills, and more power for rural LGBTQ+ people. All of the good things about Summits just more of it!

We have offered five day Audio Retreats in 2023 & 2024. Read more about our first Retreat offering below. And hear audio from the 2024 Retreat here.

We ran the first four successful cohorts of our Rural LGBTQ+ Power and Belonging Fellowship in 2023 & 2024. We’re currently reflecting and regrouping following this first round of fellowships! See some of the beautiful work that was generated from those cohorts here.
