QMoB: Queer Men's Tea/Coffee Klatch: Heart's Pace Teahouse (N. Adams, MA)

Beau, who is the owner and creator of a unique tea house healing arts space, has graciously agreed to host a very special gathering for queer men who want to enjoy tea (coffee or cacao), great conversation, and a space dedicated to heart-opening healing and hospitality. Queer men in the North Berkshires have long wanted a regular space where they can gather for fun, community, especially in the cold, dark months of the year. With your support this will become a monthly gathering of queer men who long for open-hearted connections and playful banter in the spirit of gratitude and gentle vulnerability. This gathering is for queer men of all ages, gender expressions, races/ethnicities, and backgrounds who want to see and be seen as both sacred and real.
