Unashamed: Coming Out as LGBTQ+
LGBTQ+ youth who face high levels of parental rejection are eight times more likely to attempt suicide and six times more likely to experience high levels of depression than their LGBTQ+ peers who have parental support. Coming out as a queer person, especially if you come from a conservative faith background, can feel extremely daunting and come at a very high cost. This workshop takes a holistic approach that supports LGBTQ+ people of all ages who are considering coming out or are currently in the process, giving them the tools they need to not only survive, but thrive. Contents from this workshop is pulled from Amber Cantorna-Wylde’s book of the same name.

Embodied Living: Tools for Those Living with Chronic Illness
Nearly 50 million Americans live with at least one autoimmune disease. Isolation, mental health struggles, medication coverage, and feeling repeatedly misunderstood are just a few of the challenges they face on a daily basis. In this workshop, participants are invited to bring all of themselves (especially the parts that are often unseen by the rest of the world). Attendees will walk away with resources, helpful tools, and a sense of reduced isolation that empowers them to continue their journey.

 

Radical Well-Being​: An Invitation to Self-Care 
An evening of music, breath, and guided conversation around what it means to care for ourselves in a world that keeps us constantly hustling.

When Your Heart Breaks: Navigating Grief and Loss

ARTISTIC & INTERACTIVE:

 

Wild and Free: An Intro to Loving Who You Are
This interactive experience incorporates personal introspection, photography, and collaboration with others to help participants overcome the barriers that hold them back. When we expose the lies we believe about ourselves, they lose their power. And when we share them with others, we create an opportunity where everyone is more free and able to be the most authentic version of themselves.

Healing Within: An Introspective Artistic Experience 
Experience the power of art to unlock the healing that our hearts and souls need. This introspective activity will incorporate meditative practices with ceramic painting and invite you to build connection within yourself and with those around you to create something beautiful. No artistic experience necessary! (*Artistic content credit given to Lanecia Rouse)
