🌈 Queer Siblings Circle: An Embodied Sharing Space
✨ In collaboration with Queer Groningen ✨
Come as you are.
Leave more connected, more alive, and more at home in your body.
The Queer Siblings Circle is a 2.5-hour embodied group experience created specifically for LGBTQIA+ people who long for real connection and belonging. It’s an alternative to traditional sisterhood and brotherhood circles - a space where we meet not as roles or labels, but as siblings in humanity.
🪷 Theme: Collective Rest
This circle is an invitation to lay down the armor and soften into presence together. In a world that demands constant doing, we’ll explore the radical power of resting in connection - letting our bodies, hearts, and nervous systems exhale in community.
Rooted in the Heart iQ methodology, this circle invites us to:
🌿 Slow down and arrive in our bodies
💗 Share from the present moment rather than from stories or the mind
🌊 Feel what’s alive now - sensations, emotions, longings
🤝 Be witnessed with attunement, compassion, and zero fixing
🔥 Co-create a collective field that becomes the real medicine
You won’t find long monologues or purely intellectual conversation here. Instead, you can expect gentle embodiment practices, playful duo/trio exercises to warm up, and short, alive shares that keep the space vibrant and real.
🌈 This circle is for those of us who are ready to:
- be deeply seen in our shared humanity
- reclaim intimacy, presence, and connection
- experience the power of community healing
👉🏻 IMPORTANT TO KNOW
- no previous experience needed
- everything is an invitation, and you are always encouraged to feel for what is right for you in the moment, and whether you want to participate and in what capacity
- all practices can be adjusted to your personal level of energy and physical mobility
- this is a feminist and anti-racist space
👉🏻 IMPORTANT PRACTICAL DETAILS
- please make sure you come sober (sensitive nervous systems will be affected by your altered state as we drop in together)
- wear comfortable clothing that allows for free movement + makes you feel cozy and relaxed
- do NOT wear perfume and be mindful of intense synthetic smells (lotions/hair products). Natural essential oils in moderation are ok
