REDEFINING SOFT is a 2-day healing event for MOC women, GNC, and Trans Masc fam deconstructing the weaponization of the word "soft.” 

 

PURPOSE
This is a healing event specifically for Masculine of Center Women, Trans Masc, and GNC Folks. In respect of our mission, and to foster an environment of safe and open sharing, if you DO NOT identify as one of these groups, please consider passing this ticket on to someone you love who does.
DISCLAIMER
Redefining Soft is a healing event involving workshops and discussion. Please note, Redefining Soft, its facilitators, panelist, volunteers, or vendors are not, nor do we claim to be, trained psychology professionals.
FUTURE
Although it is essential for femme identifying partners/ allies to be involved in this community healing, the event is currently not structured to support that. It is our hope that in the future, we can incorporate a portion of the healing event to include discussion and sharing with/from femme identifying partners.
CONFIDENTIALITY
It is our intention to keep all information, and discussions shared within the space confidential. So we ask that participants respect the space by not sharing what is said by others. However, Redefining Soft can not guarantee confidentiality.
PHOTOS
Please note, photography will be taken during this event. if you do not wish to be photographed, WE WILL DO OUR BEST to accommodate you.
FAQ’S
Is the facility wheelchair accessible?
Yes, both the New York and DC event spaces are wheelchair accessible.
If I identify as femme, can I attend?
This is a healing event specifically for individuals who identify as Masculine of Center Women, Trans Masc, and Gender Non Conforming.
If I identify as a cis man, can I attend?
This is a healing event specifically for individuals who identify as Masculine of Center Women, Trans Masc, and Gender Non Conforming.
If I identify as a cis man or femme, can I attend to support a friend?
Although we know how important it is to have support and community, we ask that you do not attend. We will be discussing sensitive subjects and want to make sure that everyone in the space feels comfortable sharing, being open, and vulnerable. Please understand that having cis men or femme identifying individuals in the space may hinder that for some. As Redefining Soft grows, it is is our goal to expand the event to offer a time slot and/or day dedicated to healing with femme identifying folks involved in the conversation.
Currently, the only femme identifying individuals associated with the event are members of the Redefining Soft core team and are there in a healing/service capacity. Robin, the creator of Redefining Soft, and event organizer is also the Therapeutic Writing Facilitator. Ryan, the event healer, leads Reiki, meditation, affirmations, and smudging/clearing to assist those who may be triggered throughout the event.
