OLAS was founded in September 2014 by psychotherapist Diana Shapiro who launched our first pilot weekend retreat. Since then, the program has grown every year to meet the needs of our community by offering weekend retreats, one-day workshops, holiday celebrations, training, and collaboration with community partners. We have also marched in San Francisco Pride parades! In addition, OLAS members have taken the initiative to organize their own gatherings outside of the program’s facilitated events.
