This group is open to queer* women, nonbinary, and gender-expansive individuals who identify as people of color. *The definition of queer is very open-ended, welcoming pan/bisexual and questioning individuals, regardless of relationship partners or relationship status.

No. Although weekly attendance is beneficial to the group dynamic, group members are encouraged to find balance in their social, work, and personal lives. Cancellations made within 24 hours of the session will incur the fee for the missed session.

Mostly. Opportunities may arise that might invite group members to meet in-person for social events, dinners, and affinity events. Attendance for in-person events is not mandatory, but certainly encouraged!

As we open each session, each group member will "check in" with whatever is coming up for them that week, be it work-related, personal life, or new developments. Check-ins are a time to be present for how you are arriving into the space and to connect with others. After check-in, the floor will open for individual group members to pose a question or topic for group discussion. Occasionally, group members may present with similar themes (work stress, for example) which allows other members to contribute to the dialogue, offering personal experiences, validation, support, or suggestions. Group members can sometimes be nervous to start a conversation topic. This is normal, and I encourage group members to challenge themselves to lean into the vulnerability of sharing personal experiences. Group members will never be pressured to contribute to a conversation. Supportive listening is helpful! Sessions end with a "check-out," giving group members the opportunity to reflect on what they are taking away with them (example: I was inspired by another person to go on more walks), or sharing any final thoughts.
