An invitation to my trans friends, the wider LGBTQ+ community and allies.

offering a place to gather together in community, stillness and healing

This week has been hard on top of the continual day to day effort of dealing with the barriers the trans community come up against.  

By way of supporting the community I am offering to run a series of live meditation circles (via Zoom) - as a safe container for trans people, the wider LGBTQ+ community and their allies to come together.

I don’t begin to know what being denied feels like. 

Please know I see you but never presume to experience life through your lens. 

Every day I watch my child getting on with her life 

As she should. 

When loving her spills over into the pain of fear that it could all be taken away I have to go inward. 

Pause, breathe, get still and give myself - my body, my mind, my whole system - a break. 

To be there to fight for her rights I have to take myself away little and often to be there for me.

This keeps the fire burning without it consuming me and leaving me as ashes unable to support at all.

Through my cancer diagnosis, treatment and emerging since, I find peace and resilience within a 

meditation practice give me power like no other.

Note: cameras can be on or off and there is no obligation to speak or share unless you would like to. Or you could watch the replay if that suits you better. 

My heartfelt intention is for this to be a safe space and hatred and intolerance are not welcome. I will  be proactive about removing anyone who violates those rules.

If you are interested in taking part in these circles then please either comment or get in touch with myself or

Robin Taylor (he/him)

directly. 

with gratitude
