Let us increase our capacity to bring empathy into our lives. We all deserve to meet ourselves, and the complexity of our experiences with empathy, non-judgment, and support, in this session we will explore how to do this.
Through different solo and small group exercises, we will meet our feelings, and needs, and see how it feels to give empathy to our experiences and responses in a supportive, non-judgemental way. We will give space to acknowledging hurt and grief, explore a self-empathy practice, and find physical ways to restore a sense of grounding and self-connection.

Safety Concept & Regulation

Who is this event for?
LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, agender.
Friends describes people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity, needs, and boundaries of a queer safe(r) space and its marginalized community.
When you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgement to and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression and do not assume, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others. You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender straight privileges.
Friends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all pro-actively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
