ecoQueer is a nature-based pleasure practice for queer and trans folks.

ecoQueer combines elements of forest bathing and eco-therapies with sensate focus.

Born from the land, water, air, and other animals, ecoQueer is a practice in animacy. Kinship with the more than human world that awakens our transition zones–those places where our body extends to the water, fire, animals, and wind around us.

ecoQueer is a set of earth and body centered ritualized practices for exploring pleasure. We begin by Allowing our minds and bodies to be as they are, then find Presence through our Sensory awareness of our environment, before finally integrating our experiences through Creative expression.

We live in a culture that often points out what is wrong, and not only encourages us to fix ourselves but demands it. ecoQueer is about turning that messaging around and Allowing our brains and bodies to organically do what they already know how to do. This is not a self-help practice. There is nothing wrong with you! You are invited to arrive as you are, bringing your whole self to the journey. As we move through the practice you are encouraged to take what works for you, adapt as needed or desired, and leave what doesn’t fit.

Joy and pleasure centered in the body allows us to reclaim our power, strength, humanity, and kinship with others. Nature-based healing practices have been shown to repair the brain, free the body/mind from trauma, and reconnect us to our larger ecological relationships. ecoQueer is a specific practice designed by and for 2STQIALGB+ folks.

ecoQueer is a trauma-informed pleasure-centered practice.
