POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
As we move with honesty and care, we’re sharing that Trans Futures Collective is closing this current chapter. Our capacities just haven't caught up to our desires to hold space for our community consistently. 

We’re taking time to pause, rest, and reset as we think about what showing up sustainably for ourselves and our communities might look like. This isn’t an ending rooted in loss, but rather a transition rooted in listening deeply. After so many seasons of growth, shifts, and changes we are deeply grateful as we reflect on the beautiful moments of shared practice and connection. 

This is a soft pause rather than a rigid goodbye. Though we can’t put an exact date when things will re-start or what it will look like, for occasional updates you can subscribe to the free tier of our Patreon where we will share newsletter style communications.

Thank you so much for holding this space with us. May each of us continue to find rest, healing, and ease wherever we land next.
Until we meet again, with deep appreciation,

🤔Why Should I Connect With Transcestors?🤔

Many people are overwhelmed by the idea of connecting with their ancestors and/or trancestors, and understandably so! There is so much conflicting information and cultural specificity around ancestral communication. Some of us may not know our lineage, or have been inappropriately connected or forcefully disconnected from that knowledge.

As gender expansive people, our familial and cultural ties can be fraught, and our traditions may not have room for our whole selves. This can make the romance of ancestral connection feel out of reach. 

We believe that all TGNC people have the right to access and receive the myriad benefits of ancestral relationship, especially from a counter-colonial lens, and especially while in community with other TGNC people.

When you connect to your ancestors and transcestors, you can create a healing process that works bi-directionally. That is, as you heal, you heal your ancestors and trancestors, and they heal you.

If you are under the trans/non-binary/gender non-conforming umbrella, this workshop is open to you. You do not need to be spiritual or to know your lineage. We will provide information that meets you where you are at.

🌲Testimonials🍄

We’ve changed Accessing Transcestral Wisdom to make it even better - more community, more information, more experiential learning. But the 2.5 hour workshop version was pretty great too!! Here’s some of the testimonials that last year’s participants were kind enough to offer. 

We are so pumped to present this material and we honestly can’t wait to share it with you. Transcestral support is such a gorgeous and brilliant way to resource yourself even as this world continues to be…well, what it is. Your transcestors are available to you, and we want to offer support in building, deepening, or actualizing that relationship!

Remember, this version of the class includes: 

This version of the material contains

🦋 4 Live Modules - recordings available for 6 weeks (non-downloadable)

🤓 4 PDF workbooks (downloadable)

👯 Optional small group meetings/relational spaces

👂 Live processing sessions in affinity groups

🤔 Weekly Q&A time with Zel and Eli

We will also have an entirely new module about boundaries, protection, and energetic hygiene!

We are offering this class at sliding scale (as always) and there are payment plans AND scholarships still available!

We hope to see you there! In bold white text on a reddish brown background, the slide reads: “What will you get from Accessing Transcestral Wisdom? Last year’s participant’s said….” The slide background is the same for all slides. At the bottom of all slides, there is a small watermark that reads, “@TransgressiveMedicine | @TheGenderDoula” by @transfuturescollective
