Teen and Young Adult Two Spirit/ LGBTQIA + Talking Circle

Join Santee Dakota relative and facilitator, Lenny Hayes, for our 2-part Talking Circle series!

The 2SLGBTQIA+ Talking Circle Series is a culturally grounded space designed to support Indigenous Two Spirit and LGBTQIA+ relatives (ages 15-24) in the Phoenix metro area, through community connection, healing, and empowerment. Rooted in traditional values of respect, storytelling, and collective care, the series provides a safe and affirming environment where participants can share experiences, strengthen identity, and build supportive relationships.
