Course Description
This course is intended to cultivate support and build tools to reduce stress and bolster well-being for parents of transgender and non-binary people of all ages. (Both facilitators are grateful parents of transgender adults.) Through mindfulness practices and River Writing* this gathering will help parents build resilience, witness and be witnessed, and lean into our common humanity as we support ourselves and each other with compassion, non-judgement and kindness.
About River Writing
We create a friendly place to practice by making community agreements. We read poetry aloud to find prompts and then write with pen and paper to say the truest things we can say. Before beginning, we agree to be kind, to keep each other’s confidence, and to listen to each other with undivided attention. We agree to take care of ourselves and to share responsibility for creating a welcoming space. Everyone is invited. We practice non-judgement by forgoing apology, critique, and praise. It can be challenging not to praise each other, but we choose to opt out temporarily in order to take respite from the culture of comparison. Sharing your writing is optional. When you choose to read, we respond simply by saying thank you.
