It’s not easy being Queer right now. That’s why I’ve co-created a virtual space for Queer people to come together to be raw and real. To Rage and despair and shed those tightly held tears.
The first time I took a turn sharing my despair and fear and grief and anger in a Circle of Humans that welcomed it all, I knew I’d found my emotional home.
I deeply felt how transformative it is to access and express my emotions while being tenderly held by a circle of witnesses. And how validating it is to witness other people’s emotions in turn- for the first time I knew I was not alone in my despair.
I didn’t know I was Queer then. But I had been feeling despair for what humans are doing to the Earth and each other for 30 years.
That was in April of 2016, when I went to my first Work That Reconnects workshop. By October of 2016 I’d become a Work That Reconnects facilitator, offering in-person workshops in Ithaca NY.
By January of 2019 I’d co-created the Despair and Discovery Circle, a monthly 2.5 hour opportunity for people to share their emotions- all the hard and heavy ones we are taught to suppress.
My Queerness journey began in June of 2023, and in forging ahead into all the places my queer heart is taking me, I’ve now let go of the Despair and Discovery Circle in order to create the Queer Despair and Resilience Circle.
The next Queer Despair and Resilience Circle is Monday, July 14, from 6:30-9 pm (EDT- USA). To create an intimate and sacred space, attendance is limited to 10. Register now to hold your spot!
And I’d love to hear from you if any of this resonates! Send me an email!
Blessings and Courage,
