Queers in the Park December 2019

Happy HoliGays, y’all! We hope you all are having a sweet winter and staying warm as the days get shorter!

Please join us in our amazing collaboration with friends at the Sonoma County YMCA for a queer positive, fat positive, all gender positive, trans positive work out environment!

From 2-4pm will be open work out and during that time our good friend Rachel will be hosting a 30 minute cycling class.

Schedule of events:
2-4pm: open gym time or NOT! If you want to chill on the yoga mat and gab with a bestie, all activities or non activities are welcome!
4-6pm: potluck/ debrief/ cool down time/ possible dance party in the conference room.
** please bring a snack that is gluten free and vegan, and if it is not, please bring a label with ingredients.

*IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!*
Anyone who is coming to the event who is NOT a member of the YMCA will need to sign a guest waiver.

If you are not a member of the Y, please mention Queers in the Park and the day pass will be only $5! NO ONE WILL BE TURNED AWAY FOR LACK OF FUNDS! If you need a pass or funds for entrance, please let Alicia LeCompte or Joya Calvino know.

We look forward to breaking a sweat with you!

This is a queer meet up group!

This event is being put on by some local queers who want to connect, gather, network, celebrate, and build in a SAFE SPACE.

Here are a few SAFE SPACE guidelines we borrowed from our fellow queers that we think would be good for our events.

– Consent for touching.
– Don’t assume, we respect each other by trying not to assume anything about anyone’s identity, gender or otherwise. Ask about pronouns when you first meet someone.
– Oops/ Ouch: if someone says something you find hurtful, you can say “ouch.” They then say “oops” and we all work it out, either during or after the event.
– Use “I” statements rather than “you” or “we”, and preface generalizations with “In my lived experience…” in order to refrain from marginalizing or offending others.
