Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to better support the gender-diverse individuals in your life—whether they’re family, friends, co-workers, or members of your community. 

One of the most replicated findings in positive psychology and the science of happiness is our primal need for social connection. Healthy relationships strengthen our immune system, increase life satisfaction and decreases anxiety and depression. In short, we need each other. This workshop will explore three levels of connection - with ourselves, our community, and ‘others' - through movement, meditation and interactive exercises.
