Passing along... I've been to several of their events, and I really recommend them!
The Nehirim Queer Shabbaton is a weekend-long “urban retreat” of community, culture, and spirituality for GLBT Jews, partners, & allies. featuring cutting-edge workshops, services, networking, yoga & meditation, delicious kosher food, and plenty of time to connect.
