Rooted in Love; PRIDE Healing Circle for Parents & Families of LGBTQ Youth
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.

Black Queer Storytelling
LGBTQIA+ members of the African Diaspora are invited to Black Queer Storytelling; a sacred space to reclaim our narratives through the ancestral practice of Oral Histories.Tues. Feb 24 | 5:30 PM - 8 PM | Parkside Bookshop
What is your story? This is an open, communal space for sharing. Bring a poem, a short story, or a song you’ve been working on. Offer divine wisdom or reflection. Or simply come to listen: Your presence as a witness is just as vital to the circle.
Why we gather: Those who were enslaved used spoken word, song, dance, and proverbs to ensure our history was never lost. As a wider queer community, we have also faced erasure. As black queer folx, that pressure to conform is multiplied—nonetheless, we have endured. There would be no American queer rights or justice without the life, legacies, and sacrifice of Black queer people and our elders.
Deep gratitude to our collaborators: We couldn’t do this without their incredible support.

Join us for a heartfelt and intentional Chosen Family Thanksgiving.
This holiday can be complicated for many of us. We are reclaiming this day to celebrate the most valuable thing we have: Each other.
The Vibe: A warm and joyous celebration.
The Mission: To give thanks for our found families, the safe spaces we cultivate together, and the powerful, messy, and revolutionary act of building family outside of tradition.
Open to all queer and trans folks: If you need a sanctuary, a hot meal, or a loving place to come home to this holiday—you are welcome here.
Come as you are. Bring your whole self. Let's make some new traditions.
Our host, a southern belle, is preparing some delightful southern soul foods for us: Collards greens, black eyed peas, candied yams, pork neck bones, biscuits, Honeybaked Ham, and more.
There will be variations of traditional foods like cranberry sauce(but fermented), cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes, turkey gravy and more.
Optional: Bring desserts, beverages, and any home traditional dish you'd like to share.
Sponsored by Sir Doula: an intentional, family-centered, and community based doula practice with concentrations in gender-affirming care, pregnancy, and childbirth.
