Palestinian Grief Retreat

Queer Palestinians residing in the so-called "U.S." - we invite you to tend to your grief with us <3

The ongoing genocide in Gaza has left many of us carrying immense grief, rage, and a deep sense of displacement. This pain is compounded by navigating a queer identity alongside the erasure of Palestinian existence in the U.S. and beyond.

This grief-centered retreat will offer a vital space to process collective mourning, honor ancestral ties, and reclaim narratives of resilience. For those at the intersection of marginalized identities, creating intentional spaces to grieve and connect is an act of radical resistance—affirming our humanity and transforming grief into strength and renewal.

Drafted Itinerary can be found on the application (subject to changes, but this will give you an idea of what to expect)
