The 2SLGBTQIA+ Talking Circle Series is a culturally grounded space designed to support Indigenous Two Spirit & LGBTQIA+ relatives (ages 15-24) in the Phoenix metro area, through community connection, healing & empowerment.

Rooted in traditional values of respect, storytelling & collective care, the series provides a safe & affirming environment where participants can share experiences, strengthen identity & build supportive relationships. Our facilitator is Lenny Hayes (Sisseton Wahpeton) a member of the LGBTQIA+ community & licensed counselor who invites relatives to join in the talking circles.
