Consent Is Queer: Exploring Boundaries, Autonomy & Affirmation Together
Consent isn’t just a checkbox—it’s a dynamic, ongoing practice rooted in respect, communication, and care. In this interactive session, we’ll explore how queer experiences and identities offer powerful insights into the meaning of consent. Together, we’ll unpack how boundaries, autonomy, and affirmation show up in our relationships, communities, and everyday lives. Through discussion, reflection, and shared learning, we’ll create a space where all bodies, identities, and voices are honored. Whether you're new to conversations about consent or looking to deepen your understanding, this session invites you to reimagine consent as a liberatory, queer practice of connection and empowerment.

Together We Thrive: Building Trans Wellness Communities
Trans wellness is not a solo journey—it’s a collective one. This session centers the power of community in nurturing the health, joy, and resilience of trans and gender-diverse people.

Through storytelling, resource-sharing, and collaborative dialogue, participants will gain tools to build and sustain wellness communities rooted in care, justice, and belonging.
