We heal, expand, and liberate in community.
This resource has been created by euni ✨ and has been developed from a lens of options that present to be inclusive, intersectional, and understanding of the complexities of many types of lived experiences and the impacts these experiences can have on our day to day lives including understandings of how traumas and social locations inform the ways we experience, explore, express, and embody pleasure, connection + relationship. Although each resource listed may state to share these values, we also understand that each will practice in their own unique way and what is supportive and feels safe for one person many not for another.
This list is complied from euni's perspective, research and/or personal experiences and is not endorsed in any way. It will be modified as appropriate when new information is present. The resources with an * are included from their presented values and do not have a personal opinion from experiences. It's important that you lead your own journey and make choices from your own intuition, choices, and needs for safety and comfort. This list is designed to support with giving you an idea of options that may be supportive for you and connect you with other professionals across the global community who may be of support along your journey towards liberation.
Should you have an experience or feedback on anything listed here - please utilize our Conflict or Concern Form to share and we will look into it and update the list accordingly. If you'd like to add to the list - please contact euni to share your resources with any information such as links, what their specialty is, and any personal perspectives you feel comfortable sharing with this community.
