About

Queer+CommunityNetworkingWellness & fitness

The session will include restorative yoga and energy and sound healing. Held is a series created to give this community spaces to slow down, exhale, and remember what it feels like to simply be supported. The intention for this series is to create a consistent space for queer community members to experience safety and rest in their bodies by easing the nervous system into a state of deep calm. No performance, no pressure, just permission. Why Nourish Queer people are often taught to give before we receive. We show up for our communities, our chosen families, our activism, and everyone else's needs, sometimes at the cost of our own. Nourishment gets treated as something we'll get to later, after the caretaking is done. But a body and a nervous system that are never nourished, physically and energetically, cannot sustain the work of healing or the work of showing up for each other. This evening is about reversing that order, putting your own nourishment first. What to Expect Intro (15 min) — We open together and set intentions for the evening Restorative Yoga & Group Reiki Healing (45 min) — Gentle, supported yoga poses held with props, paired with group Reiki to ease the nervous system into rest Sound Journey (30 min) — Close the evening in stillness as we play crystal bowls, ocarina, chime, and ocean drum, letting the sound biologically reset the nervous system How to Prepare Wear comfortable, loose clothing you can move and lie down in We will provide blankets, yoga mats, and bolsters please bring anything else that helps you feel cozy and supported Eat lightly beforehand. A full stomach can make it harder to settle into stillness Arrive with an open mind and no expectations of yourself. There is nothing to do here except receive Your Hosts Sun (@theelovebridge) is a self love and relationship coach, Kundalini reiki master, intuitive tarot reader, and sound healing practitioner based in Denver.
