About us
A gathering place for queer men who want more than small talk and swipe fatigue. The Queer Men’s Sangha brings together meditation, honest conversation, and nature-based experiences to help us show up to our lives—and to each other—with a little more presence and a lot more community.
We meet online and across the SF Bay Area for guided meditation and group discussion, exploring themes drawn from yoga, Buddhism, and the lived reality of being gay, bi, or curious in a world that still loves to test our equanimity. Think mindfulness through a queer lens and a raised eyebrow.
For those who prefer their enlightenment with fresh air, our Pathfinders hikes and outdoor meditations take us onto beautiful trails where the natural world becomes the teacher, the backdrop, and sometimes the comic relief.
Our community extends beyond the meetups through the Q-MindBody Podcast, where conversations on queer wellness, spirituality, and personal growth continue in long-form.
What we’re about:
- Meditation and mindfulness for queer men
- Community discussions that go deeper than “How’s your week?”
- Mindfulness hikes and nature-based gatherings
- Online meetups for accessibility and connection
- A growing community committed to curiosity, compassion, and collective growth
- Ongoing inspiration through the Q-MindBody podcast
Whether you're seeking grounding, connection, or a place where your full self is not only welcome but reflected back with warmth and humor, you’re invited. Bring your questions, your stories, and your desire to build something real with other queer men.
