Moving Through vs. Bypassing Emotions Session

Moving Through vs. Bypassing Emotions Session

Tue, Aug 18, 1:00 AM
From Bay Area Active & Social - 20s, 30s & 40s
4.8

Hi everyone, I hosted 2 previous intimate sessions where I gathered those interested in introspective work together. We shared more about our life experiences, collaborated with each other through deep listening and reflective sharings, and built a really beautiful, wholesome hour to connecting. Excuse all the words. I want to have this kind of continuity by hosting a kind of event/session where strangers come together with whatever they’re going through (good, bad, everything in between) and practice being open in a space that feels safe. The topic of this session will be about the practice of moving through and processing our emotions, especially the more difficult ones. Often times, there are distractions we can redirect our attention to which can be helpful. However, it can be a form of bypassing. We’ll share and explore more of what it looks like to move through them in a way that feels most healthy and helpful to us individually. Being in a group/community setting allows us to share and connect in a more authentic and deep way. I capped the group to 5/6 people because a small group would be more conducive to that sense of inclusiveness. The location will be finalized once I get confirmation of the attendees who will come. And we’ll find a location that’s convenient for everyone involved. The location will be in a nature setting. Please feel free to leave a comment or message me if you have any questions. Previous events I hosted similar to this: [Gratitude Session](https://meetu.ps/e/QbT9C/12NwFZ/i) and [“What gives us energy” Session](https://meetu.ps/e/Qc9Rt/12NwFZ/i) [Image Credit](https://www.instagram.com/p/DbAm4irjf6o/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==)

Yoga & hike at Redwood Regional Park!

Fri, Sep 18, 11:30 PM
From Weekly Hikes at Redwood Regional Park and more
4.9

🌿 Yoga & Hike at Redwood Regional Park Join us for an evening of movement, mindfulness, nature, and connection. We'll gather at 4:30 PM on the grassy area across from Canyon Meadow Parking Lot for a casual meet-and-greet. Everyone is invited to introduce themselves and share one or two things that brought them joy this week before we welcome our yoga instructor for the day. We'll begin with a gentle introduction to standing yoga poses and mindful movement. No yoga mat is needed—just wear comfortable clothing and bring layers for the hike afterward. The session is designed to be welcoming for all experience levels. We're delighted to have Sheena guiding our yoga practice. Community contributions help fairly compensate our instructor for sharing her time and expertise and make it possible to continue offering wellness experiences like these in the future. If you'd like to support this growing community, donations of any amount are warmly appreciated and can be made directly on the day of the event or through the Pledge link. Your generosity helps create a sustainable space where people can improve their well-being, build meaningful relationships, and reconnect with nature together. Suggested contribution: $10–20 (completely optional). No one will be turned away due to financial circumstances. As this community continues to grow, we also ask that you RSVP thoughtfully. If you sign up, please make every effort to attend. Your reservation helps us plan appropriately and reserves a spot that another member might otherwise enjoy. If your plans change, please update your RSVP as soon as possible so someone else has the opportunity to join. Please come prepared with adequate water, appropriate footwear, and clothing suitable for changing weather conditions. Be respectful of fellow participants, the environment, and the shared experience. Participant Responsibility & Safety: By attending this event, you acknowledge that you are voluntarily participating and are responsible for your own health, safety, decisions, and personal belongings. Please hike and participate in yoga within your own abilities and comfort level. The organizers, volunteer hosts, and instructors are not responsible for injuries, accidents, losses, or emergencies that may occur during or in connection with this event. Thank you for helping us create a kind, respectful, and supportive community. We look forward to sharing the trail with you.

From Queer Crush Climbing (NorCal)
4.8

🎟️ free for [@touchstoneclimbing](https://www.instagram.com/touchstoneclimbing/) gym members! 🎫 $20 day pass for non-members (thats a 33% discount on the regular price!) 🧗🏻‍♂️rentals are FREE for QC attendees, so no need to worry if you don’t have climbing shoes or a harness (if you wanna climb ropes!) 🎉this is an all levels meet up, so no matter your experience, you’re welcome to join us! ⏰come early so that you make it to our intro circle and you get to make community with other members RSVP: [https://portal.touchstoneclimbing.com/missioncliffs/programs/queer-crush](https://portal.touchstoneclimbing.com/missioncliffs/programs/queer-crush) NOTE: Mission Cliffs offers bouldering or rope climbing. With bouldering, you climb up to about \~15 feet from the ground, are not secured to a rope, and do not need a partner; it's probably the easiest way for beginners to explore climbing for the first time! **With rope climbing...** * You climb in pairs - the climber on the wall & the belayer on the ground ensuring the climber doesn't fall. Belayers need to learn how to belay & pass a test administered by the gym staff for safety reasons! * At this gym, the climber doesn't need to take a test (the belayer can check safety for both people); however, it's unlikely that for you to find a partner who only ever wants to belay from the ground while you're climbing. * Therefore, if rope climbing is really important to you (getting that adrenaline rush from going \~60 feet up!), you should plan when you're going to 1) learn to belay and 2) do the belay test with gym staff (which also depends on gym staff availability) * For many first-time ever learners, learning to belay can take the entirety of the Queer Crush session (and also depends on our ability to have someone who can teach you). Since the gym closes soon after our session, this means that you may not get much time, if any, on the wall! * At Mission Cliffs, most days before Queer Crush, there is an Intro to Climbing Class that the gym offers. We highly recommend you taking this class, then , time-permitting taking a belay test with gym staff, and then joining our group. This would be the best way to do rope climbing as a beginner with other queer crushers
