Do you need to scream- about everything- but you keep not letting yourself?
Come scream, cry, rage, and release in a
Queer Only Space!
This is a Powerful Virtual Circle that Offers a Safe Space* for LGBTQIA2S+ Folx who:
- Feel scared, confused, alone, betrayed…
- Want to be witnessed in their despair, anger, grief and rage.
- Can come as you are, without judgement, without a need to mask.
- Wish to hold space for others to know they are not alone.
- Crave healing connection in a time of terrifying brutality and chaos.
- Want to live in a just and beautiful world.
* Although we recognize that safety can never be guaranteed, we find it important to try to create safety in this Circle. We define Safe Space as a space where everyone’s identity is respected, discrimination and harassment aren’t tolerated, and where we can be vulnerable without fear of judgment or consequences.

- Feel, express, and release our deeply held emotions.
- Move energy through our bodies.

- Witness and be witnessed, hold and be held.
- Experience the transformations available when we go deep together.
What this Circle IS NOT:
- This is not a clinical space, therapy, or a treatment.
- This is not a replacement for professional support.
- This is not about fixing each other, giving advice, or solving problems.
- This is not a space where we will tell you everything is going to be okay.
