Our meet-ups are a great chance to connect with other local LGBTQ+ people and allies and take part in some creative activities. This month Poorvaja from elop will lead a therapeutic movement workshop: Somatic Sensation and the Self!
The session offers an introduction to therapeutic movement to promote self-care and connection with your somatic sensations. The calm, low-impact workshop includes movement-based activities using specially curated music around the theme of healing. The activities are person centred, accessible and facilitated in a safe and non-judgemental space.
