Description
Queer Bridges: Mindfulness Workshop
with Alan Lessik
The stresses of a new life in a new place can be difficult. We’ll explore several simple ways that you can reconnect to your body and release the mental and physical pressures facing you. No experience is necessary as you learn the tools to approach life’s challenges with hope, strength and the ability to respond to new situations.
Alan Lessik is a novelist, queer activist and Zen practitioner. He taught meditation at Queer Dharma at the San Francisco Zen Center and was a guest teacher at the SF LGBTQ Sangha.
Queer Bridges: Forging connections and providing resources for LGBTQIA+ people with experiences of migration and/or displacement.
Queer people with experiences of migration and/or displacement in Berlin often face unique challenges in their daily lives that can limit their access to supportive communities and inclusive environments. 
With the support of the Deutschen Fernsehlotterie Stiftung, we have developed the Queer Bridges program to overcome these barriers We provide resources, networking and support in a welcoming environment for queer immigrants and refugees through our special program. Our goal is to foster a sense of belonging to the local LGBTQIA+ community, enabling smooth integration and an improved quality of life for queer folks with experiences of migration and/or displacement.
✅ Our Queer Bridges program will continue to evolve and we are always happy to hear about your needs. If you are interested, you can send us an e-mail to stay informed about further updates.
