A place for radical queer connection
Our mission: Short Mountain Sanctuary is an off-grid homestead and gathering space for the LGBTQ community. We are a 501c3 nonprofit that provides hands-on education in sustainability skills and holds space for queer and trans people to commune with one another in nature.
Sign up for The Circular and The Goatzette Express, our online publications with all you need to know about gatherings & sanctuary life.
Our community contains many LGBTQ subcultures, and our gatherings bring together Radical Faeries and our diverse queer family for celebration and connection with nature and one another.
Gatherings bring us together.

“Come Fairies, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame!”
— William Butler Yeats
Let’s meet up in real life to share in the beauty of the natural world.
