East, South and South East Asian Healing Circle
March 21 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Free
In this healing circle, connect with fellow LGBTQ+ people through guided meditation exercises, group discussion and modes of play, in a warm, inclusive and supportive environment.
If you feel like you need to ground yourself surrounded by like-minded individuals in a low-pressure, open format, please come along!
All exercises will be optional and can be adapted to any accessibility needs.
There will be comfort breaks between each exercise. People are not required to stand for any of the exercises, but may do so for the Play portion which will be 20 minutes. No handouts will be used.
We will be breaking into groups for the Play portion, but otherwise the session will be all together!

1. Introduction
