This Soft Place
For those bringing presence into practice. For those letting rest become resistance.
🌿 Two Events. One Vision of Liberatory Care.
We are living in a time that asks too much and offers too little. Providers are burning out. Trans folks are carrying grief and joy in the same breath. Healing work often happens in isolation. And allyship too often lives in the head, not the body.
We believe it doesn’t have to be this way.
This Pride month, we're offering two separate, interwoven events—each a different kind of invitation into embodied, relational, liberatory care. One is for cisgender and allied providers who want to deepen their allyship. One is for trans and nonbinary providers to gather in rest, joy, and togetherness.
✨ Offer One: For Cis + Allied Providers (CEs provided!)
Embodied Allyship: Reimagining Gender-Affirming Care
A 90-minute virtual workshop for cisgender providers and space-holders
📅 Friday June 27th @ 1pm CST| 💻 Zoom | 🎟️ Sliding Scale ($25–$100) | 📹 Recording Included
You want to be a better ally but you feel unsure of where to start…
Or maybe you have started—and now you're realizing how much deeper this work goes. You want to move past scripts, checklists, and fear of “getting it wrong.” You want your care to live in your body, not just your brain. But no one taught you how.
Allyship isn’t a destination; it’s a relational and embodied practice. One that must be rooted in humility, nervous system awareness, and the willingness to move beyond performance and into presence.
This workshop is a space to:
- Explore what embodied allyship actually feels like in your body
- Recognize and shift disembodied or performative behaviors
- Learn somatic tools for increasing capacity and accountability
- Practice showing up relationally with trans and gender-expansive clients and colleagues
- Reimagine gender-affirming care as a living, breathing relationship
You’ll walk away with:
- A deeper understanding of your own patterns + possibilities
- Somatic and relational tools you can use immediately
- A stronger internal foundation for building safer, more attuned connections
Learning Objectives:
Participants will...
- Explore intellectual vs embodied learning, and how integrating embodied practices can create a deeper, more compassionate understanding of gender.
- Cultivate greater empathy and awareness of the unique challenges faced by gender-expansive clients, leading to more inclusive and affirming care.
- Identify areas where implicit biases may be present and learn strategies to mitigate these biases for more equitable and compassionate care.
This is not a 101. It’s a calling-in. A remembering.
A chance to reorient not around perfection, but around practice.

🌒 Offer Two: For Trans + Nonbinary Providers
Easy Rest
A free 60-minute virtual gathering for trans and nonbinary providers, healers, and space-holders
📅 Thursday June 26th at 7:30pm CST| 💻 Zoom | 💜 Free | ☁️ Live-only, no recording (this space is sacred)
You’ve been holding a lot.
Clients. Communities. Movements. Memories.
You give so much and often without time or space to let yourself feel. You long for a moment where you don’t have to explain or perform. You crave connection without obligation. A place to be witnessed. A place to let go.
This space is for you.
No agenda. No expectations. Just presence, tending, and the quiet joy of being together. This is a place to remember that your rest matters. That your grief is not too much. That your joy is not indulgent. That you get to have both.
This gathering will include:
- Gentle grounding + light somatic invitations
- Spacious witnessing of grief and joy
- A sense of shared humanness without hierarchy
- The safety of being with people who just get it
You don’t have to earn this.
You don’t have to be ready for it. You don’t have to be anything other than what you already are. This is your space to be soft, complicated, glittery, tired, radiant, uncertain.
Because rest is a kind of resistance.
And togetherness is a kind of healing.
💜 Free to attend
