Developmental psychologists tell us there is a natural progression to the lifecycle. They studied upper to middle class families in the 50s who were heterosexual and lived binary gendered lives; co-parents, pensions and comforts. Today, we live the diversity and experiences 'outside' of this mold. In 5 topics, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy teaches: (1) people are doing the best they can with what they know in the moment and, (2) there is no singular way to thrive. Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, Middle Path and Interpersonal Effectiveness. Let's help our future heroes push this boundary with grace and finesse.

We are taught from 'pre-memory' though 'adulthood' what is 'right/wrong', 'good/bad'. The secret? We get to choose for ourselves. Our caregivers were either scared to allow us freedom to be who we were or simply unaware themselves that there was a choice. Life is messy; 'and' it is magical. People bring us joy and offer passion in our daily experiences; 'and' people deplete our internal resources leaving us depressed and in pain. 'Both' of these are true. One day per week, for one and one-half hours, we will confront the 'taboo' of the human condition.

This group is built by queer folks for queer folks. The purpose is to build community in a world with shrinking spaces to collectively grow. While prostesting and activism is necessary and remains fundamental to our identities, this group is for the 'other' hard stuff: finding and developing an internal calmness, growing outside of fight narratives, places to celebrate the joys and heal from the old arguments that kept us small or belieiving the oppositionists. When we show up, we are rebellious. When we grow, we are a rebellion.
