Join us in celebrating queerspawn and the families/communities that raised them. Moving beyond “The Kids are Alright,” the contributors in this volume break away from the pressures to be perfect and the demand to be well-adjusted. Spanning 6 decades, 3 continents and 5 countries, these are queerspawn stories told on their own terms.
Join Sharyn Hahn to start your day with a morning yoga practice of Sun Salutations and a Vinyasa flow! You will experience luxurious stretching warm-ups, empowering standing poses, and energizing breath work as we align the movements with the inhales and exhales. You will feel more awake, strong, balanced, and positive as a result of this time spent on the mat. Sun Salutations and warrior poses stimulate the seratonin in your brain (the “happy hormone) and improve self-esteem! You will be ready for anything that meets you as your day unfolds.
We will listen to music and set an intention for the week at the start of each class.
$5 donation requested. Bring a yoga mat if you have one. There are some props at the store for up to 5 people. You may bring your own coffee or tea.

From white nationalists to male tribalists, and from Christian theocrats to Patriot movement activists, the U.S. far right has made dangerous gains in recent years. These “insurgent supremacists” bolster established systems of oppression but also challenge the existing political order in real ways. Antifascist researcher Matthew N. Lyons will outline the major far right currents, their ideologies and goals, their interconnections and tensions with the Trump administration, and some key lessons for antifascist work.
This monthly book discussion focuses on reading anarchist and radical left texts, alternating between fiction and non-fiction. These books are chosen by participants in advance.
January’s book: The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin.
This event has a Google Hangouts video call.

BRTW’s new play follows a group of former cult members – and one civilian – hiding
from the law after a failed political revolution. With their leader dead and their cult in
shambles, the former members begin to enjoy “normal life” with their new friend.
Tensions rise as their indoctrination fans back into roaring life when another cult
member joins their hideout and insists that the life they knew isn’t really behind them.
Trigger Warnings:
Please be advised that this production features frank discussion and/or staged
depictions of physical violence, weapon violence, substance dependency and racism.
The Feminist Book Club reads and discusses feminism. We make no claims to any particular feminist platform. We read theoretical texts, literature and primary works. All are welcome inclusive of gender, political persuasion, and familiarity.

The Icarus Project NYC is a local chapter of http://theicarusproject.net, a radical mental health a support network and media project by and for people who experience the world in ways that are often diagnosed as mental illness. We envision a new culture that allows the space and freedom for exploring different states of being, and recognizes that breakdown can be the entrance to breakthrough. We aim to create a language that is so vast and rich that it expresses the infinite diversity of human experiences. Our monthly workshops explore these themes through peer-based discussion, guest presentations, art, forum theater and more. For more information about this month’s event see: http://nycicarus.org

A gentle movement and writing class that wants to prioritize queer, tender self-care through accessible yoga and automatic writing.
We will use movement to warm our limbs, ease into our body and release into words, to write, to breathe, to heal. Through a series of yin-yoga exercises (a more gentle, tranquil practice of yoga) we will collectively explore what our own soft body experience might be, how we can use the space between movement and automatic writing to translate experiences that exist beyond the visible or thinkable, into words or movement.
Come and meet people who are just as confused as you are about public restrooms and getting dressed in the morning! We provide a safe space for anyone with a non-binary gender identity to discuss one’s experiences as we defy society’s mainstream conception of gender.
We welcome gender identities that include but are not limited to: androgynous, agender, bigender, demigender, gender non-conforming, gender variant, genderfluid, genderqueer, non-binary, transmasculine, transfeminine.
