 Join other queer disabled folks in learning from and supporting each other, building community, expanding our skillsets for grounding and nervous system support, and sharing hot tips on managing pain, stress, and living with chronic conditions. Regardless of what kind of disability we live with, bringing support to our nervous systems can help ease pain and symptoms and help us manage the stress of living with chronic conditions in ableism. The general format will be 45 minutes of personal sharing around a particular topic, followed by a hands-on activity or brief informational session. We will learn about a few plants for building resilience and nourishing our bodies, bring in somatic tools, and learn about our nervous systems together. No prior knowledge of herbal medicine or somatic practice needed. 

This group is facilitated by Jean Madrone Lynch-Thomason (RH, SEP). Jean is a white, queer, nonbinary and trans, disabled and neurodivergent herbalist, somatic practitioner, and parent.

This space is for anyone who is queer and/or trans and living with chronic illness, chronic pain, or who identifies as disabled.
