The LGBTQ+ community faces daily challenges in our world, especially right now. Coming together as a community with our allies allows us to revisit the essential nature of our pride in who we are.
The kind of genuine pride we need is brought about by heartfelt self-compassion. This self-compassion comes from learning to gently, kindly, and lovingly show up for ourselves daily and knowing how to care for and love ourselves. We draw boundaries to protect ourselves (kindness), find others who are like us (common humanity), and see and speak what is true (mindfulness). We ask ourselves what we need and listen to the answer. We take steps to fulfill our longings (kindness) supported by knowledge of our authentic needs (mindfulness). Mindfulness and deep kindness help us envision the world we want to live in. The world we all need to live in. We will celebrate the wisdom and artistry of our own LGBTQ+ siblings as they reflect on self-compassion.
This workshop will help people in the queer community find strength and self-acceptance while navigating unique challenges. You will learn powerful self-compassion practices tailored for LGBTQ+ experiences, fostering resilience and authentic self-expression.
Who can benefit from this workshop? Anyone who identifies as part of the queer community, or else who is a parent of or works closely with LGBTQ+ people.

Personal safety and emotional wellbeing are the foundation of self-compassion training, and you are responsible for your own safety.
Teachers and facilitators are not expected, or able to provide medical and/or psychological care. Course experiences may bring up challenging memories or feelings.
