Hi, we are Circle Somatics: A Queer, Trans, Nonbinary and Intersex Somatic Healing Institute. We are a virtual platform beginning to offer accessible somatic and holistic mental health and healing for the Queer, Trans, Nonbinary and Intersex (QTINB) community. We were born out of the impact of the last few years of even more oppressive legislation across the so called US and the inaccessibility of much needed body based and holistic mental health care for our communities. We are grounded in the principles of decoloniality, abolitionism, anti-fascism, BIPOC liberation, QTINB liberation, Palestinian liberation, fat liberation, sex worker liberation, disability justice & mutual aid. 

We feel that somatic healing not only encompasses the body/mind connection, but it's also more than that. The body of community, nature, Spirit, ancestors, resistance movements, and patterns of relating. We want to acknowledge and honor the ancestral lineages these various somatic and holistic healing modalities come from.

Why “circle”? We chose this name because we hope to be a gathering place, a circle, for the diverse queer, trans, non binary and intersex communities to come together to find connection and healing.

We are starting slow and small, and are hoping to get feedback from our various communities to hear what would be most supportive to you for us to offer. Please fill out our survey to let us know what would be of interest to you.
