Cultivating Compassion: Emerging from the Shadow of Shame

Tuesdays 630-830p
Location disclosed to registered participants
Space limited 12 attendees-
Join us for a 12-week journey designed for queer men including trans men and non-binary individuals in recovery, held in a confidential, closed-circle setting. Each weekly 2-hour session invites you to address and transform the shame stemming from cultural conditioning, as well as the intersections of queer culture, addiction, and recovery.
Through a blend of ancient wisdoms, cross-cultural tools, and contemporary trauma-informed practices, you will move from isolation to connection, from self-judgment to self-compassion, and from stigma to solidarity.
Together, we will explore the cultural and personal messages that shape shame and self-concept. We'll examine how queer culture, childhood experiences, and addiction intersect—and learn to disentangle them without blame.
Session Format:
- Weekly 2-hour closed-circle meetings
- Guided dialogue and psychoeducation
- Experiential exercises and shared processing with peers
- Normalizing experiences to reduce isolation and build accountability
- Access to cross-cultural and ancient teachings reframed for modern healing through anthropological, spiritual, and psychological perspectives
Expected Outcomes:
- Reduced shame and heightened self-compassion
- Deeper insights into the roots of addictive patterns and strategies to alter them
- More authentic connections within the recovery community
- A living toolbox of practices to support ongoing healing beyond the 12 weeks
Who This Is For:
- Queer men in recovery seeking a compassionate, trauma-informed approach
- Individuals ready to explore the impact of cultural conditioning and childhood experiences on current behaviors
- Participants who value peer support, lived experiences, and an inclusive, nonjudgmental space
