Expansive Resources for Parents
with Anna Gatmon and Leon Segal
An intimate conversation about how consciousness, creativity, and psychedelics can support your family’s gender journey.
Parenting a trans kid includes navigating the ongoing strain of social pressures, challenging school systems, and worries about your child’s well-being, while also bringing up deeply personal hopes, fears, and expectations about gender and your child’s future. In this intimate session, we will explore how expanded awareness, creative reframing, and psychedelic insights can offer greater steadiness and new possibilities for moving through the journey.
