Pre-Conference Events for Attendees

Join us for a relaxed lunch before Awaken / Maranga Mai 2025 begins!

Hosted by Mace Malcolm (they/them) and Robin Acheson (he/they)

This gathering is a space for gender diverse, transgender, and questioning folks to connect, share community, and feel supported before diving into the conference experience.

Whether you’re new to Awaken or a returning attendee, this is a chance to meet others who understand the unique joys and challenges of navigating faith and our gender diverse identities.

Come enjoy a meal, and start the conference feeling seen and supported. We can’t wait to share this time with you!
