TransLiterate
Customized for facilitators and participants of your organization, TransLiterate is a workshop to learn to use language and build embodied compassion to be skillfully inclusive or lovingly exclusive of trans and genderqueer people.This workshop thrives on having people of all genders present. It follows a healing arc, integrates spirituality, and focuses on building relationships to dive into complex and emotional topics. I will be setting a container where people with different levels of familiarity with this topic will be welcome to come and speak their truth, though this workshop is specifically set for people who already have the intention of love and inclusivity towards trans and genderqueer people. The intention is to create a healingcontainer for trans people while cis-gender people practice fully embodying their own allyship and urgency around creating gender-safe spaces for all genders.
I am a working-class, trans nonbinary white person who strives to bring a lens of oppression and liberation into the work I do. I am white, and I try to bring anti-racism into all of my work, though being white, I am far from perfect at it and welcome accountability from people of color and anti-racist white organizers. Many aspects of oppression that affect trans folks also affect people of color, and much of the work we will be doing together involves undoing aspects of white culture that oppress all marginalized groups, including trans people.

Identity as Activism for Youth (ages 12-18)
Workshop on intersectionality for youth based in self-reflection and group activities on what identities we hold, which identites we choose and which ones were chosen for us, which ones we share out in our culture, and how that interacts with larger cultural influences, like racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, etc. - and how youth can use their voice to do something about it.
Intersectional Events 101
What does it mean to hold privilege and to lead groups that are diverse, or even that you hope will be diverse one day? This workshop is for facilitators and group leaders - we talk about creating workshop descriptions that are intentionally inclusive, encouraging marginalized voices in the room to be amplified, and skills for grounding ourselves and receiving feedback about inclusion, among other things - catered to your group.

Roots to Resilience
This workshop is an intro to rewiring our brains to create a stronger sense of self and deeper resilience in the face of hardship and trauma triggers. Fusing modern-day science with ancient pagan practices, Roots to Resilience will help participants to create long-lasting feelings of resilience and gratitude and walk away with a variety of tools to integrate into post-camp life. Roots to Resilience includes activities such as stillness, meditation, conversation and connection with others, reflection, all within a deep calmness and surrounded by healing energy. We give our "hard things" a container here.
This workshop is trauma-informed. This method is inappropriate for those experiencing a traumatic episode such as a panic attack or a severe depressive episode. If you experience any severe trauma the day of the workshop, please see a staff member to choose a different class.
