About
A sharing circle is a facilitated gathering with a structured format. The focus is on finding your own words to talk about your experiences, meeting others and creating connections through listening. These are fortnightly in-person events that run for 2.5 hours, with a maximum of 8 participants. There are two current facilitators: Archie (they/them) and Hana (she/her), who alternate hosting.
These sharing circles are a confidential space separate from the ciscentric, heterocentric world. Collectively we value, support and welcome your experiences of gender identity and expression, transition, sexuality, sex, the medical industry, mental health and anything else you might want to talk about.
To learn more about what happens at a sharing circle, watch the description videos by one of the current facilitators, Archie, on instagram: @tgdsharingcirclesnaarm
Register to come, or join the waiting list for the next sharing circle! The address and further info will be emailed to you the week before the sharing circle.
