StoryTell x Queering Existentialism 4/9: Radical Acceptance
*This event is intended for queer folx and allies*
Join StoryTell and Queering Existentialism for an evening of connection through conversation and personal storytelling. We'll explore our perspectives, curiosities, and personal stories on the theme of "Radical Acceptance".
What does it mean to radically accept our identities, especially the parts that are not typically appreciated or valued by mainstream society? What was a time that accepting a difficult truth outside of your control led to transformation and inner peace? How can we balance surrender with a sense of agency and self trust?
Here's what to expect:
🏡 We'll gather at Sound Mind Live in Brooklyn, a cozy space with a warm and inviting atmosphere. We will begin promptly at 7pm, so please arrive on time.
☕️ Snacks and tea will be provided. Feel free to BYODinner!
🗣️ We'll start by getting to know each other through small group discussions, expanding on our deeper feelings, emotions, and perspectives around our theme. We'll be referencing and getting inspired by the 9 Attitudes of Mindfulness by Jon Kabat-Zinn.
✨ Whether it was a memory that sparked during our conversation or a story that came to mind, you'll have the opportunity to share your personal story with the group. This is a low-stakes opportunity to share your story with an empathetic, open-minded community in a casual "campfire stories" setting. Stories are optional, open to anyone, and are limited to 5-7 minutes.
💖 During our time together, we will connect with ourselves and in community through vulnerability, courage, and shared experience. Show up and we're sure you'll walk away with a new friend and a new perspective.
Come join us on a journey in realizing that we're not alone in our human experience. You belong here, and we can't wait to see you.
