Concept: ”What is Queer Healing to You?”
Our first Queer Healing Collective event will explore the questions:
Our aim is to understand what queer healing means personally and communally. To facilitate this understanding, we plan to learn, discuss and move our bodies. The goal is to heal and grow through heart-centered dialogue and profound self-discovery.
We hope to build a solid foundation for future events, cultivating a community that supports and advocates for accessible queer mental health.
