A group of queer and trans veterans from About Face: Veterans Against the War (an organization of post-9/11 veterans who advocate against militarism at home and abroad) have formed the Trans Military Support Network to advocate for and defend Trans members of the military community. They hold virtual gatherings to provide space to process grief/fear/anger while cultivating hope and community.
The next Sanctuary gathering will be held right after the autumnal equinox (September 23 at 8 pm ET), and this one will have a witchy vibe. A member of the Trans Military Support Network will open with a grounding spell and then lead a short session on herbs and self-care. After that, another member will facilitate a session on reciprocity in nature and how it can provide a framework for how we approach mutual aid and community care. We’ll then break into small groups to reflect on our relationship with nature. Some people might be involved in environmental advocacy, while others might find a feeling of renewal in outdoor activity that helps sustain their work.
