SUMMARY:Healing Circle: Grupo de Apoyo LGBTQIA+ con Cáncer de Próstata Para Hispanoparlantes (en Español)
DESCRIPTION:El cáncer de próstata (CP) es una realidad que también afecta a la comunidad LGBTQIA+. Es el tumor más frecuente en personas con próstata\, siendo el segundo más común en todo el mundo y el quinto en mortalidad. No hay evidencias que relacionen el CP con la orientación sexual. La mayoría de los diagnósticos se dan en personas mayores de 65 años\, siendo muy poco frecuente en menores de 40. \n\n\n\nEl colectivo LGBTQIA+ enfrenta un triple tabú en relación al cáncer de próstata. Por un lado\, es un tumor silenciado en nuestra sociedad debido a que afecta el concepto tradicional de masculinidad. Por otro lado\, este silencio se agrava por nuestra condición sexual. Esta situación puede afectar los tratamientos que recibimos\, debido a la falta de información sobre los efectos secundarios de los tratamientos en relación a nuestra orientación sexual y nuestras prácticas sexuales. Y\, para finalizar\, existe otro condicionante importante: la edad. La generación que está siendo diagnosticada actualmente ha sido marginada y discriminada por lo que tiene muchas veces miedo a compartir sus dudas. \n\n\n\nLo que proponemos es crear un espacio para hablar de nuestras experiencias\, de los tratamientos que recibimos\, de nuestras emociones\, de cómo nos sentimos\, de cómo afecta el CP a nuestras relaciones y de las herramientas que tenemos para afrontar nuestras dificultades. Es muy difícil encontrar un grupo de apoyo para hispanohablantes pertenecientes al colectivo LGBTQIA+. En este grupo encontrarás apoyo. \n\n\n\nDesarrollo 1 hora y media máximo\, primer lunes de cada mes 19:30-21:00 (zona horaria de Madrid). (13:30-15:00 ET). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProstate cancer (PC) is a reality that also affects the LGBTQIA+ community. It is the most frequent tumor in people with a prostate\, the second most common worldwide and the fifth in mortality. There is no evidence to relate PC to sexual orientation. Most diagnoses occur in people over 65\, being very rare in those under 40. The LGBTQIA+ group faces a triple taboo in relation to prostate cancer. On the one hand\, it is a cancer that is not often spoken of in our society because it affects the traditional concept of masculinity. On the other hand\, this silence is aggravated by our sexuality. This situation can affect the treatments we receive\, due to the lack of information on the side effects of treatments in relation to our sexual orientation and our sexual practices. And\, finally\, there is another important condition: age. The generation that is currently being diagnosed has been marginalized and discriminated against\, so they are often afraid to ask questions related to intimacy. \n\n\n\nWhat we propose is to create a space to talk about our experiences\, the treatments we receive\, our emotions\, how we feel\, how PC affects our relationships\, and the tools we have to face our difficulties. It is very difficult to find a support group for Spanish speakers in the the LGBTQIA+ community. In this group you will find support. \n\n\n\nThe Healing Circle for Spanish-Speaking LGBTQIA+ Men with Prostate Cancer meets Monthly on the 1st Monday of each month from 7:30 – 9:00PM Madrid Time Zone/1:30 – 3:00 PM EST. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n                \n                    \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Healing Circle Host                                                \,                                             \n                                            Alfonso Luis\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                        \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Healing Circle Host                                                \,                                             \n                                            Charles Domingue\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                                        \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer

SUMMARY:Room for Grief
DESCRIPTION:Room for Grief: A Monthly Space for Loss From Bereavement\n\n\n\n“Each person’s grief is as unique as their fingerprint. But what everyone has in common is that no matter how they grieve\, they share a need for their grief to be witnessed.” \n\n\n\n-David Kessler \n\n\n\nIf you’ve lost a loved one\, a healing circle for those in grief is an opportunity to share what’s on your heart and mind\, to listen\, and be listened to deeply and generously. \n\n\n\nOur healing circles are a safe and supportive space to walk with each other through these times.  Each circle is a blend of sharing and silence\, compassion and curiosity. Our agreements ensure acceptance and confidentiality. We honor our own unique paths to healing and respect the choices of others. \n\n\n\nThis is an ongoing circle. Therefore\, you are welcome to join at any time. \n\n\n\nPlease Note: Healing circles are groups of peers who support one another through deep listening and compassion. Circle participants abide by agreements\, including agreements around confidentiality. The volunteers who host healing circles do not provide medical or psychotherapeutic advice or treatment. Participation in a healing circle does not replace the care provided by a qualified healthcare professional. \n\n\n\nThis circle meets on the third Monday of the month.  \n\n\n\nIn order to register and receive the Zoom link\, visit the <Healing Circles Global Registration Page> \n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n                \n                    \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                            \n                                        \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Grief Team Healing Circle Host                                                \,                                             \n                                            Laqwa Matilpi\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                        \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                            \n                                        \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Grief Team Healing Circle Host                                                \,                                             \n                                            Trish Garland\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                                        \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer

SUMMARY:Grieving Together: A 6-Week Series
DESCRIPTION:Please join us in a series Healing Circles for Grief “to discover the extent and limits of what is lost\, what is left and what is possible.”  – John Schneider \n\n\n\nIf you have lost a loved one\, this is an opportunity to share what is on your heart and mind right now\, to listen and be listened to deeply and generously. Together we create a safe space for listening to messages from our inner experience.  \n\n\n\nOur healing circles are a safe and supportive space to walk with each other through these times. Each circle is a blend of sharing and silence\, compassion\, and curiosity. Our agreements ensure acceptance and confidentiality. We honor our own unique paths to healing and respect the choices of others. \n\n\n\nTo register for this program through Healing Circles Global\, please click <here> \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSome Assumptions about Grief\n\n\n\n\nThe experience of grief is unique for each individual. While we can make some general assumptions\, there is no template that describes the experience for all people.\n\n\n\nGrief is cumulative. That is\, each time loss is grieved\, the grief encompasses the lifetime of loss and the remnants of each experience.\n\n\n\nGrief following a significant loss is most often a lifelong process\, with each pivotal point in life bringing the grief back up to be processed from a new perspective.\n\n\n\nGrief\, loss and suffering fundamentally changes and reshapes the individual.\n\n\n\nGrief is not about forgetting or disconnecting. Rather\, healthy grief is about remembering the parts of self that get lost amidst the experience and reorienting the individual in their relationship with self\, the world and others.\n\n\n\nGrief is a whole body experience: emotional\, physical\, spiritual and intellectual. Each have a wide range of expression which can cue us that grief is present.\n\n\n\nWhile grief and trauma are often intertwined there are significant differences between them. Trauma should be addressed with trauma specific interventions that often go beyond what is possible in circles.\n\n\n\n\nAdapted from Khris Ford \n\n\n\nGrieving Together Healing Circle will meet Weekly on Thursdays from 1:00-2:30pm ET from June 25 – July 30 \n\n\n\nGrief Circle Dates: \n\n\n\n\nJune 25\n\n\n\nJuly 2\, 9\, 16\, 23 & 30\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n                \n                    \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Grief Team Healing Circle Host                                                \,                                             \n                                            Mark Malinak\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                        \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Healing Circle Host                                                \,                                             \n                                            Lisa Rice\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                                        \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer

SUMMARY:Healing Circle: Grupo de Apoyo LGBTQIA+ con Cáncer de Próstata Para Hispanoparlantes (en Español)
DESCRIPTION:El cáncer de próstata (CP) es una realidad que también afecta a la comunidad LGBTQIA+. Es el tumor más frecuente en personas con próstata\, siendo el segundo más común en todo el mundo y el quinto en mortalidad. No hay evidencias que relacionen el CP con la orientación sexual. La mayoría de los diagnósticos se dan en personas mayores de 65 años\, siendo muy poco frecuente en menores de 40. \n\n\n\nEl colectivo LGBTQIA+ enfrenta un triple tabú en relación al cáncer de próstata. Por un lado\, es un tumor silenciado en nuestra sociedad debido a que afecta el concepto tradicional de masculinidad. Por otro lado\, este silencio se agrava por nuestra condición sexual. Esta situación puede afectar los tratamientos que recibimos\, debido a la falta de información sobre los efectos secundarios de los tratamientos en relación a nuestra orientación sexual y nuestras prácticas sexuales. Y\, para finalizar\, existe otro condicionante importante: la edad. La generación que está siendo diagnosticada actualmente ha sido marginada y discriminada por lo que tiene muchas veces miedo a compartir sus dudas. \n\n\n\nLo que proponemos es crear un espacio para hablar de nuestras experiencias\, de los tratamientos que recibimos\, de nuestras emociones\, de cómo nos sentimos\, de cómo afecta el CP a nuestras relaciones y de las herramientas que tenemos para afrontar nuestras dificultades. Es muy difícil encontrar un grupo de apoyo para hispanohablantes pertenecientes al colectivo LGBTQIA+. En este grupo encontrarás apoyo. \n\n\n\nDesarrollo 1 hora y media máximo\, primer lunes de cada mes 19:30-21:00 (zona horaria de Madrid). (13:30-15:00 ET). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProstate cancer (PC) is a reality that also affects the LGBTQIA+ community. It is the most frequent tumor in people with a prostate\, the second most common worldwide and the fifth in mortality. There is no evidence to relate PC to sexual orientation. Most diagnoses occur in people over 65\, being very rare in those under 40. The LGBTQIA+ group faces a triple taboo in relation to prostate cancer. On the one hand\, it is a cancer that is not often spoken of in our society because it affects the traditional concept of masculinity. On the other hand\, this silence is aggravated by our sexuality. This situation can affect the treatments we receive\, due to the lack of information on the side effects of treatments in relation to our sexual orientation and our sexual practices. And\, finally\, there is another important condition: age. The generation that is currently being diagnosed has been marginalized and discriminated against\, so they are often afraid to ask questions related to intimacy. \n\n\n\nWhat we propose is to create a space to talk about our experiences\, the treatments we receive\, our emotions\, how we feel\, how PC affects our relationships\, and the tools we have to face our difficulties. It is very difficult to find a support group for Spanish speakers in the the LGBTQIA+ community. In this group you will find support. \n\n\n\nThe Healing Circle for Spanish-Speaking LGBTQIA+ Men with Prostate Cancer meets Monthly on the 1st Monday of each month from 7:30 – 9:00PM Madrid Time Zone/1:30 – 3:00 PM EST. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n                \n                    \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Healing Circle Host                                                \,                                             \n                                            Alfonso Luis\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                        \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Healing Circle Host                                                \,                                             \n                                            Charles Domingue\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                                        \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer

It is the most frequent tumor in people with a prostate\, the second most common worldwide and the fifth in mortality. There is no evidence to relate PC to sexual orientation. Most diagnoses occur in people over 65\, being very rare in those under 40. The LGBTQIA+ group faces a triple taboo in relation to prostate cancer. On the one hand\, it is a cancer that is not often spoken of in our society because it affects the traditional concept of masculinity. On the other hand\, this silence is aggravated by our sexuality. This situation can affect the treatments we receive\, due to the lack of information on the side effects of treatments in relation to our sexual orientation and our sexual practices. And\, finally\, there is another important condition: age. The generation that is currently being diagnosed has been marginalized and discriminated against\, so they are often afraid to ask questions related to intimacy. \n\n\n\nWhat we propose is to create a space to talk about our experiences\, the treatments we receive\, our emotions\, how we feel\, how PC affects our relationships\, and the tools we have to face our difficulties. It is very difficult to find a support group for Spanish speakers in the the LGBTQIA+ community. In this group you will find support. \n\n\n\nThe Healing Circle for Spanish-Speaking LGBTQIA+ Men with Prostate Cancer meets Monthly on the 1st Monday of each month from 7:30 – 9:00PM Madrid Time Zone/1:30 – 3:00 PM EST. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n                \n                    \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Healing Circle Host                                                \,                                             \n                                            Alfonso Luis\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                        \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Healing Circle Host                                                \,                                             \n                                            Charles Domingue\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                                        \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer

SUMMARY:Healing Circle for Metastatic Breast Cancer Thrivers 45+

On the one hand\, it is a cancer that is not often spoken of in our society because it affects the traditional concept of masculinity. On the other hand\, this silence is aggravated by our sexuality. This situation can affect the treatments we receive\, due to the lack of information on the side effects of treatments in relation to our sexual orientation and our sexual practices. And\, finally\, there is another important condition: age. The generation that is currently being diagnosed has been marginalized and discriminated against\, so they are often afraid to ask questions related to intimacy. \n\n\n\nWhat we propose is to create a space to talk about our experiences\, the treatments we receive\, our emotions\, how we feel\, how PC affects our relationships\, and the tools we have to face our difficulties. It is very difficult to find a support group for Spanish speakers in the the LGBTQIA+ community. In this group you will find support. \n\n\n\nThe Healing Circle for Spanish-Speaking LGBTQIA+ Men with Prostate Cancer meets Monthly on the 1st Monday of each month from 7:30 – 9:00PM Madrid Time Zone/1:30 – 3:00 PM EST. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n                \n                    \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Healing Circle Host                                                \,                                             \n                                            Alfonso Luis\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                        \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Healing Circle Host                                                \,                                             \n                                            Charles Domingue\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                                        \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer

La mayoría de los diagnósticos se dan en personas mayores de 65 años\, siendo muy poco frecuente en menores de 40. \n\n\n\nEl colectivo LGBTQIA+ enfrenta un triple tabú en relación al cáncer de próstata. Por un lado\, es un tumor silenciado en nuestra sociedad debido a que afecta el concepto tradicional de masculinidad. Por otro lado\, este silencio se agrava por nuestra condición sexual. Esta situación puede afectar los tratamientos que recibimos\, debido a la falta de información sobre los efectos secundarios de los tratamientos en relación a nuestra orientación sexual y nuestras prácticas sexuales. Y\, para finalizar\, existe otro condicionante importante: la edad. La generación que está siendo diagnosticada actualmente ha sido marginada y discriminada por lo que tiene muchas veces miedo a compartir sus dudas. \n\n\n\nLo que proponemos es crear un espacio para hablar de nuestras experiencias\, de los tratamientos que recibimos\, de nuestras emociones\, de cómo nos sentimos\, de cómo afecta el CP a nuestras relaciones y de las herramientas que tenemos para afrontar nuestras dificultades. Es muy difícil encontrar un grupo de apoyo para hispanohablantes pertenecientes al colectivo LGBTQIA+. En este grupo encontrarás apoyo. \n\n\n\nDesarrollo 1 hora y media máximo\, primer lunes de cada mes 19:30-21:00 (zona horaria de Madrid). (13:30-15:00 ET). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProstate cancer (PC) is a reality that also affects the LGBTQIA+ community. It is the most frequent tumor in people with a prostate\, the second most common worldwide and the fifth in mortality. There is no evidence to relate PC to sexual orientation. Most diagnoses occur in people over 65\, being very rare in those under 40. The LGBTQIA+ group faces a triple taboo in relation to prostate cancer. On the one hand\, it is a cancer that is not often spoken of in our society because it affects the traditional concept of masculinity. On the other hand\, this silence is aggravated by our sexuality. This situation can affect the treatments we receive\, due to the lack of information on the side effects of treatments in relation to our sexual orientation and our sexual practices. And\, finally\, there is another important condition: age. The generation that is currently being diagnosed has been marginalized and discriminated against\, so they are often afraid to ask questions related to intimacy. \n\n\n\nWhat we propose is to create a space to talk about our experiences\, the treatments we receive\, our emotions\, how we feel\, how PC affects our relationships\, and the tools we have to face our difficulties. It is very difficult to find a support group for Spanish speakers in the the LGBTQIA+ community. In this group you will find support. \n\n\n\nThe Healing Circle for Spanish-Speaking LGBTQIA+ Men with Prostate Cancer meets Monthly on the 1st Monday of each month from 7:30 – 9:00PM Madrid Time Zone/1:30 – 3:00 PM EST. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n                \n                    \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Healing Circle Host                                                \,                                             \n                                            Alfonso Luis\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                        \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Healing Circle Host                                                \,                                             \n                                            Charles Domingue\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                                        \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer
