Finding Home In Your Body, For Trans* People
Living in a trans* body can be challenging. Minority stress, family and social conditions are some of the factors that can lead us to cut ourselves off from our somatic awareness and distrust or become unaware of the wisdom that we have inside. We may find we are in our heads, live in the past or future, get stuck in moods, have a hard time giving or accepting love or setting boundaries, or are unable to fully feel ourselves or make decisions that align with what we care about.
Join us for this 1.5 hour workshop in which we will explore why and how we disconnect from our bodies and learn practical strategies to help us get back in touch with ourselves, so that we can live with dignity and find more peace, joy, and connection.
Maximum 16 participants. For adults. A similar workshop for youth aged 16–21 is called Finding Home In Your Body, For Queer Youth.
The workshop is hosted by

Trans*parent is a Prague-based organization dedicated to advancing the rights and fostering positive societal change for transgender, non-binary, and intersex people. Founded in the spring of 2015, Trans*parent emerged from a need to share information, lived experiences, and advocate for policy changes in the area of trans equality. The organization works to promote understanding and acceptance of trans, non-binary, and intersex individuals both in society and within legal frameworks.
