​

Make life long meaningful LGBTQIA+ connections through fun, soulful and creative activities in fabulous scenery. Part of Out & Wild's Queer Connections retreats & weekenders, with experienced leaders from within the community. Connecting you through fun and creative workshops on the theme of 'Our Journey', we will be combining art making, creative activities and writing exercises to look at how far we have come, where we are now and where our wellness journey will take us. All with a focus on meeting new people to create deep connections and fun. Absolutely no previous experience or 'creative bone' necessary, aside from a willingness to be playful, have a go and get your hands (and feet...) dirty!
