Co-hosted by the LGBTQIA+ ministries at Christ Church NYC and Marble Collegiate Church, the 2026 ILLUMINATE Day Retreat is a half-day opportunity for LGBTQIA+ and allied folk to withdraw from a typical weekend routine and connect in celebration of queer spirituality.

The retreat includes a conversation with special guest & Emmy-Award winning actor Jeff Hiller about what church to LGBTQIA+ people. Hosted by Rev. Tyler Heston Wolf, Minister for LGBTQIA+ Development at CCNYC, the day will begin with contemplative worship and conclude with opportunities to interact and reflect in community.
