Colors of Hope Retreat

October 7-10, 2024

Christmount Retreat Center

Black Mountain, North Carolina.

Gather with LGBTQ+ people of faith and allies from across the Church to hope in color at the most colorful time of year.

Hope is an act of resistance.  Rest is an act of resistance. 

At this retreat, there is an emphasis on connection over content but the themes of hope, joy, and rest will guide our retreat.
