Rainbow Exhale: A Queer & Trans Sound Journey 

There is something powerful about being able to exhale in a space where you know you are welcome.

Rainbow Exhale is a queer and trans-centered sound journey created for LGBTQIA+ community members and allies. The experience begins with a guided EFT meditation, followed by progressive muscle relaxation to help release tension and settle into the present moment. From there, the session opens into a carefully composed sound bath using crystal singing bowls and other gentle acoustic instruments.

Each sound and instrument is chosen intentionally, with the session unfolding through a progression of tones, textures, rhythms, and silence. The experience offers space for deep rest, reflection, and restoration, with time to slow down, listen, and notice what arises.

No experience with EFT, meditation, or sound healing is necessary. Whether you're deeply familiar with these practices or trying them for the first time, you're invited to get comfortable and let yourself be guided through the experience.

Led by Charlie Sebastian Short, a queer, BIPOC, and neurodivergent sound healing practitioner and professional musician, Rainbow Exhale is a trauma-aware space created with LGBTQIA+ community members in mind. Allies are warmly welcome.

While many items are available to borrow, feel free to bring any comfort items, such as a favorite pillow, squishmallow, eye mask, or anything else that helps you get comfortable... then give yourself some room to breathe.

Trans Guyz Meetings are exclusively for people assigned female at birth or socialized female who now identify otherwise, including people who are trans, enby/nonbinary, FTM, two spirit, Ag/aggressive, genderqueer, affirmed male, androgynous, agender, intersex, transmasculine, genderfluid, and questioning.

To offer support and connection to as many members as possible, we currently meet in two formats.

Odd months: Online via Google Meet (January, March, May, July, September, November)

Even months: In person at the Marie Equi Center (February, April, June, August, October, December)

Email to register/sign-up at transguyz@gmail.com

Trans Guyz facilitators respect and affirm the diversity of our community in terms of age, race, class, religion, ability, immigration status, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, and where people are at with their transition. Some group members are currently questioning their gender identity and not everyone in the group chooses or is able to use hormones and surgery as part of their transition.

The Marie Equi Center is accessible by mobility device, has one ADA parking space, and has gender-neutral bathrooms. Masks are required in the building. Our in-person meeting space has armless chairs and air purifiers.

Google Meet offers captions, and ASL interpretation is available in meetings upon request. Please let us know if there's something else you need to make the space or meetings more accessible: tranzguys@gmail.com.
