STL Queer Sangha Facilitated by Sovereign Somatics
Tuesday November 10th, 2026 from 6:30-8PM
STL Queer Sangha is a Dharma & Meditation group for all LGBTQIA+ folks and co-conspirators to gather & practice engaged, radical dharma. What makes STL Queer Sangha unique is that it’s not your average, sanitized & commercialized McMindfulness meditation group. Each session offers a different Dharma topic at the intersection of personal + community + systemic praxis. Dharma talks are interactive, lighthearted yet deeply introspective, and topics are often crowd-sourced & current-event relevant. The guided meditation portion is body-based & somatic, invitational, trauma & neurocognitive informed and engages directly with the liberatory Buddhist principles covered in the session topic. This group takes place on 2nd Tuesdays 6:30-8pm and 4th Sundays 11-12:30pm, suggested investment $5-25, and no one turned away for lack of funds.
Community Reiki Circle Facilitated by Cindy Capps
Sunday November 15th, 2026 from 2-4PM
A Reiki Circle is a gathering where people come together to share intentions for healing, connection, and well-being in a welcoming, supportive space. Rooted in the Usui Reiki Method, which was developed in Japan in the early 1900s, Reiki is a gentle, hands-on (or hands-off) energy practice that supports balance on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. This gathering is an affirming space for all who value inclusion and mutual respect, including LGBTQIA+ individuals and their allies. All are welcome, whether you are new to energy work or an experienced practitioner. $10 suggested donation; no one will be turned away for lack of funds. No need to pre-register, just show up. This group takes place every third Sunday of the month from 2-4PM.
