Welcome to Wellbeing: Nurturing Mental Health for LGBTQIA+ Community

At Wellbeing, we are dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive space for the LGBTQIA+ community, where mental health is given the utmost importance. We believe that everyone deserves access to resources and support to foster their overall well-being. Our project group is committed to organizing a variety of events and activities that promote mental health, including meditation, guided sound journeys, yoga, and much more.

Understanding the unique challenges faced by the LGBTQIA+ community, we strive to address the specific mental health needs of individuals within this diverse and vibrant community. Our events are designed to provide a nurturing environment that encourages self-reflection, healing, and personal growth.

Meditation is one of our core offerings, allowing participants to find moments of tranquility and inner peace. Through guided meditation sessions, we facilitate a deep sense of relaxation, stress reduction, and emotional balance. By incorporating mindfulness techniques, we help individuals develop a stronger connection with themselves and their surroundings.

Another popular event we organize is guided sound journeys. These sessions utilize the power of sound to promote emotional release, healing, and self-discovery. Participants immerse themselves in a soundscape created by various instruments, such as singing bowls, gongs, and chimes. The harmonious vibrations produced during these sessions aid in relaxation, heightened awareness, and emotional well-being.

Yoga is another integral part of our program. We offer classes specifically tailored to the needs of the LGBTQIA+ community, focusing on gentle movements, breathwork, and mindfulness. Yoga promotes physical and mental strength, flexibility, and self-acceptance. It is a powerful tool for managing stress, anxiety, and depression, while also enhancing body positivity and self-esteem.

In addition to these core activities, we organize various other events that cater to the diverse interests of the LGBTQIA+ community. These may include workshops on self-care techniques, creative arts therapy, and peer support groups. We collaborate with mental health professionals, yoga instructors, and mindfulness experts who specialize in working with the LGBTQIA+ community to ensure the highest quality of support and guidance.

At Wellbeing, we firmly believe that mental health is a fundamental aspect of overall well-being. By providing a safe and inclusive space for the LGBTQIA+ community, we aim to promote self-care, resilience, and a sense of belonging. Our events empower individuals to embrace their identities, express themselves authentically, and cultivate a positive and nurturing relationship with their mental health.

Join us at Wellbeing as we embark on this journey of self-discovery, healing, and personal growth. Together, we can create a community where mental health is prioritized, and every individual is celebrated for who they are. Get involved today and let’s nurture our mental well-being, one event at a time.

Trans nights

Friday evenings are for the trans community. Those nights are dedicated to trans folks to build community. Together we explore gender expression/identities in a communal setting where we can connect with other trans folks. The evenings start with a workout followed by a workshop from trans experts. Think scar tissue massage, improv, dance workshops, intimate conversations and more TBA. We are not looking to reproduce the gender binary, but encourage trans folks to sign up for the gender expression they would like to explore on a deeper level in a community setting. Non-binary/genderfluid/agender trans people are welcome.
