WHY QUEER PEOPLE NEED THIS PROGRAM
In today’s political climate, 2SLGBTQIA+ people are under attack. This especially applies to trans and nonbinary individuals and queer BIPOC.
Transformative Queer Meditation provides a much-needed safe space for 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals to build community and transform limiting beliefs that may be blocking their potential.
While we recognize the challenges faced by our community, this group is not a space for dwelling on grievances, blaming others, or fostering a victim mentality.
Allies have played an important role in advancing our rights, so straight people who support our community are more than welcome!
HOW THIS PROGRAM WORKS
WHAT ARE
LIMITING BELIEFS?
Limiting beliefs (such as “I’m not good enough” or “I’m unlucky”) are false beliefs we have about ourselves that block us from reaching our full potential. These beliefs make us doubt our abilities, sabotage opportunities, or believe we can’t reach our goals.
IDENTIFY YOUR
LIMITING BELIEFS
At our classes, newcomers will be paired with returning guests to identify their limiting beliefs and explore how these beliefs affect their lives. If you prefer more privacy, you can work through this exercise on your own.
WRITE AN
AFFIRMATION
After your limiting beliefs are identified, you’ll create a custom Affirmation — a brief, positive and uplifting statement designed to contradict these beliefs and foster a more empowering self-image that boosts your confidence.
REPROGRAM
YOUR BELIEFS
To reprogram your psyche and transform your limiting beliefs, you’ll use your Affirmation as a mantra during meditation. Similar to hypnosis, meditation takes us to a relaxed alpha state where deeply rooted beliefs can be altered.
