Rooted is a community for queer, gender-awesome, non-binary, and trans youth ages 14-16

Imagine spending four days in the beautiful mountains of Colorado with other gender-expansive teens, where you can hike, create, sing, explore, and just be yourself. Rooted is a chance to find community, connect with nature, and feel truly at home in your wild, awesome self. 

Queer guides have a unique wisdom born of finding and nurturing our authenticity, a wisdom the world is yearning for. These times are calling us into our roles as guides to support people through transitions and deepen into rite of passage ceremonies. More than ever it is time to remember and offer the experience of belonging, to be held, to be seen, and to show up in our collective responsibility.

This ceremonial rite of passage is created specifically for anyone identifying as or adjacently as a queer man+ (beyond the binary!) Now is the time to take our full place in community, to claim our belonging, and to bring the unique gifts we carry into the world.

Join us in a supportive circle, surrounded by the tallest peaks of Colorado and sleeping beneath a sky full of stars and step into deep relationship with yourself, your community and the earth!
