Event details: RSVP: https://meetu.ps/e/Q5h09/19QWg1/i The voice is a prominent part of the many ways in which we express and perceive gender. How we use and hear it matters not only to others, but also to ourselves. A significant part of many people's gender journey is learning to use their voice to reflect who they are, and also unlearn some of the habits and tendencies picked up over time which are further reinforced by social feedback. This class serves as an accessible, safe, and useful opportunity for transgender and non-binary people to learn how to unlock and use your voice to speak and express yourself in a way that aligns better with your true self. Voice training can be a difficult, complex process which poses a daunting task, but we aim to guide you through it in this class. The class is free, but any donations to Aconchego House are very much welcome!

Event details: RSVP: meetup://aconchego-house/events/314646204 Life’s a lot right now, huh? Creating art won’t fix everything, but it can shift something. Art Making for Tumultuous Times is a no pressure creative space to explore together - no skills needed, this isn’t therapy, just a supportive space to express what’s real, try simple creative tools for coping, and connect with others who are also feeling a bit overwhelmed with it all. We’ll make things, feel things, and remind each other that when the world is messy, make messy art together. Rose B. Schaefer is an Integral Expressive Arts Practitioner and Creative Coach and the founder of Sacred Chaos Method, a whole-person, intuitive approach integrating soul led creativity, emotional expression, and personal and social change. Rose works with individuals, couples, and communities across diverse identities and relationship structures, creating compassionate, non-judgmental spaces rooted in collective care and self-trust. ​Participation to the workshop is free, though a small voluntary donation for the space is encouraged to keep Aconchego House open. sacredchaosmethod.com

Event details: RSVP HERE: https://www.meetup.com/aconchego-house/events/315486071/ EN (PT abaixo): Aconchego House is pleased to announce that on the first and third Sundays of the month, you can join Samana.Life Meditation Teacher Malcolm McQuirter and Sound Healing Practitioner Eric Cetnarski for a 1.5 hour Relaxing and Restorative Yoga Nidra Guided Meditation and Sound Bath. What Is Yoga Nidra? Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation that leads you into the hypnagogic threshold between waking and sleep — a state of deep receptivity, rejuvenation and willed self transformation that ordinary rest cannot reach. What is a Sound Bath? You sit or lie on the floor and let the sound and vibrations of quartz crystal and brass bowls 'wash' away your stress. Eric's practice draws upon both the art and science of sound healing. The Sound Bath holds the Yoga Nidra space with resonance, letting vibration do what words cannot. Together, they are an invitation to return to your source. Donation based (suggested 10€). Space is limited to ten participants. Yoga mats provided, but feel free to bring your own. PT: Aconchego House tem o prazer de anunciar que, no primeiro e terceiro domingos de cada mês, poderá juntar-s
