Queer Sharing Circle

Connect with fellow queers this holiday season—every Saturday in December.

Join Kirien and their partner Soren for a cozy, heart-centered 90-minute circle of authentic sharing, storytelling, and mutual support. Simply come as you are—no experience necessary.

Our Queer Sharing Circle offers a space to slow down, connect with your heart, and share what’s alive in your world during a season that can feel stressful or isolating. The circle is guided by principles of authentic relating, meaning you are encouraged to show up as you are, practice unmasking, and express whatever is in your heart. No prior experience with authentic relating is needed.

Am I “queer enough” to join?

Yes! If the word “queer” is relevant in any meaningful way to describing your self~life~world experience, your unique way of being is valid and enough.

What we’ll do (90 minutes):

• Opening & welcome: Introduction to authentic relating principles (as adapted by AR-GO)
  • Grounding & self-connection exercise to settle in and connect to your heart
  • Sharing circle: Take turns expressing what’s alive for you—stories, feelings, joys, struggles, pets, treasures—whatever you wish. You can ask for the kind of presence or feedback you want: listening without advice, questions, appreciations, or other forms of support
  • Closing exercise to integrate the session

Who it’s for:

Anyone who identifies with or resonates with “queer” in their life experience. Beginners and seasoned participants are welcome. Your presence is enough.

Practical Notes

Create a comfortable, private space for the session. Turn off notifications, light a candle, gather blankets or pillows, make tea—whatever helps you feel safe, cozy, and fully present.
