LOVE YOUR TRANS SELF
SELF LOVE AS A VERB FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST (With The Gender Doula)
Self-love…what a concept! Its been a rough time for a long time and who among us doesn't need a little (or a lot) more self-love in their life? And/but also, the quest for self-love is a tough one. Positive affirmations can help, and they can also feel like a lie on the tongue. For trans, nonbinary, and other gender expansive people, self-love can seem impossible in the face of hyper visibility, transphobia, and the current political climate.
If any of this resonates, LOVE YOUR TRANS SELF is for you. This workshop is a straightforward, action-oriented primer on self-love as a verb. The goal is that you will leave with strategies that you can implement right away, and with some thought given to how you can work one or more of these strategies into your day to day life.
We will meet for two hours. I will cover some of my thoughts and experiences with self-love, then teach you some of the strategies that have helped me develop a practice of self-love. These strategies were forged through my experiences of fatness, transness, queerness, trauma, and perhaps most of all through living with intense chronic illness. This is not a "love and light" workshop. The self-love I've cultivated is ferocious and fallible - it’s a devotional practice and I'm ready to share it with you.
Participants will receive a 2 hour workshop, the zoom recording for download, and worksheets for the exercises we cover.
(Note: This workshop is for trans, nonbinary, and other gender expansive people specifically and is a closed space. If you aren't sure if attending would be appropriate for you, please contact me directly).
