The Wintering Circle – Intros, Rest, Care, and Support Space
Let’s start by opening up a gentle space to introduce ourselves, reflect, and talk about rest hygiene. Participants are invited to share experiences, check in with one another, and engage in collective care practices.

Support Space : Adornment as Archive is a reflective collage workshop within the monthly support space, inviting y’all to explore self styling and symbolism as a form of personal and communal record. In conversation with the legacy of Marsha P, the session offers an open, intentional space for shaping identity, memory, and presence.
