These days, it may feel like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders—especially as global politics and policies seem determined to diminish our presence. But together, we hold the power to change this. Join us in this welcoming intergenerational space dedicated to trans, queer, and LGBTQIA2+ community members. Through solidarity and understanding, we can transform shared experiences into inspiring insights, fostering resilience and collective strength. Let's unite to challenge the forces trying to erase us and create a future rooted in support, reflection, and empowerment.
A healing circle is a powerful and transformative group process, rooted in Indigenous traditions, where individuals come together to share their experiences, build meaningful connections, and embark on a collective journey of healing. It provides a safe and welcoming space for open dialogue, emotional expression, and the sharing of collective wisdom, all of which significantly enhance personal growth and community well-being.
Circle Structure:
Participants sit in a circle signifies continuous self care and the evolving nature of collective healing
We use a Talking Piece: An object (like a stone, feather or Crystal) is passed around, allowing only the person holding it to speak, ensuring everyone has a chance to share without interruption.
Active Listening: We ask you to remain present during as participants are sharing.
Confidentiality: What's shared here stays here, be a vault.
Shared Responsibility: We encourage you to support each other and contribute to the collective healing process.
Focus on Connection and Belonging: We aim to build strong relationships and foster community.
Community Altar:
We will have a community altar as a part of this community session. Community altars serve as a space for remembrance, collective grieving, and healing. You are welcome to bring an item to add to the altar.
The Healing Circle is Thursday June 25th from 6:00pm-8:00 pm on 930 Massachusetts Ave. Cambridge
We will email folks the day before the event with a Zoom link for those joining us virtually. For questions, contact fitness4allbodies@gmail.com.
