Together, cultivating a safer space for LGBTQIA+ peoples to be with their personal and professional experiences and needs.<\/p>\n This space is an opportunity to bring our fuller selves, i.e. the intersections of GSRD, race, heritage, culture and any other\/all intersections (e.g. age, disability, class, neurodiversity), that may have limited invitation, space or safety elsewhere. Here the invitation is to breathe into our fullness, all our intersecting parts, identities and experiences to further reflect and process the content and experience of the conference.<\/p>\n Integral to the offering of this space is holistic attention and care. Whatever emerges, let us access and cultivate our resources to freely bring ourselves and be met, with and by fellow queer bodies, minds and hearts.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Cacao – text ” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n Dee Albert<\/a> – Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist, Integrative Supervisor and Shamanic Practitioner.<\/span><\/p>\n Workshop Outline<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Join me in this community healing ritual practised by the Mayans and Aztec for centuries.
