Release and take your power back!

Queer LGBTQ+ and allies, we will be celebrating and decorating a sliding box or mini casket of your choice to say goodbye to any person, place, or thing in your life journey. Each person will be given a mini-doll and a box of their own to paint or decorate. Supplies will be provided. If you have anything that you want to bring that is okay as well.

Refreshments will also be provided.

$10 per person fee.

You deserve to live freely and peacefully, so let’s take that step together ❤️
