Trans Day of Remembrance is a time to honor our trans siblings who have been taken from this world too soon by acts of violence. It is also a time to come together, to hold the weight of this loss, and to remember that none of us should have to carry our grief alone.

We invite our community to gather for an evening of remembrance, connection, and collective care. Through an indoor and outdoor gathering space, we will create opportunities to move, reflect, connect, and be together in whatever ways feel right. Ceremony and some gathering spaces will take place around a campfire.

You may choose to join ceremony, you may choose to walk through the enchanted forest trail and enjoy time inside! This is a space for you to be, to connect, and to ground yourself.

Grief lives in our minds, but it also settles into our shoulders, our breath, and our bones. Throughout the evening, we will make space to acknowledge what we carry, while also actively engaging with our nonhuman elemental kin land, water, fire, and air. These elements will offer points of connection and reflection as we navigate loss, offer our intentions to those who have passed, and hold space for one another.

Through facilitated group ritual, community altar spaces, music, spoken word, and shared reflection, we will bring our hearts and minds together to honor those who have passed on. This is an invitation to remember, to feel, to be witnessed, and to find connection in the company of others.

We hope to create a space where grief and love can coexist, where tears, laughter, silence, and conversation are all welcome. A space to honor our trans ancestors not only in memory and grief but as active beings who shape and strengthen our community in the present.

No experience is needed. Come as you are.
