The Queer Support Group
The Queer Support Group
The world is currently in a great phase of reimagining — the old structures are falling away. Yet, the new emerging and integrative forms which will replace them have yet to fully take form. One thing is clear, however: the old ways of surviving — as individual silos — can no longer sustain these new emerging realities.
As queer folk, we have always been edge-walkers. Our very existence is revolutionary. We walk between worlds — our embodied existence is multi-dimensional. We see different. We feel different. We navigate through this world different.
It is these qualities of creativity, resilience, and communal magic which make our community uniquely positioned to help develop and nurture the budding integral consciousness on this planet.
The Queer Support Group is a 3-month, in-person experiment in community healing — a living laboratory for connection, empathy, and transformation.
Rooted in queer wisdom, we come together to remember what it means to belong to one another — to practice the ways of care, repair, and resilience that can only be learned in relationship.
Guided by the understanding that disconnection is one of humanity’s deepest wounds, we gather to cultivate new forms of community capable of holding the complexity of this changing world.
A 3-month, in person, facilitated Queer-centered experiment in community healing — where we learn to hold one another through change, grow our capacity for empathy, and practice the ways of care, connection, healing, and transformation — for ourselves and the world.
The CAll And Intention
The CAll And Intention
We are looking for 12 Queer / LGBTQ+ identified individuals who are seeking, interested, and committed to discovering and exploring what an emerging and integrative support community can look and feel like.
We are inviting you into a 3-month Queer support group pilot — built by us and for us.
Your container holders, Enoch and Alex (Jade) Jacks, have collectively been working in the fields of Somatic Education, Social Work, Social Justice, Spiritual Philosophy, Sexual Healing, and Tantric Perspectives for 50 years.
The intention of this 3-month circle is to serve as a living, communal laboratory — a space to experiment, to re-member how to be and thrive in community, to deepen relational integrity, to hold conflict with skill and compassion, and to discover what “support” truly means in this new era.
Why Group Work?
Why Group Work?
“Without community you cannot be yourself. The community is where we draw the strength needed to effect changes inside of us. What one acknowledges in the formation of the community is the possibility of doing together what is impossible to do alone.”
At the heart of this group is the belief that we are stronger together than we are apart, that disconnection is one of humanity's deepest wounds, and that connection and community are as innate as our DNA. This is an invitation to co-create - not just a group, but a model for how community might grow and evolve in this changing world. This group is aimed at discovering the interconnected synthesis and healing we can achieve - together.
Groups can:
Be a container for holding, witnessing, and transmuting grief.
Grow empathy and compassion through shared experience.
Break the spell of loneliness and isolation.
Teach us how to repair ruptures and grow resilient together.
In this group, we will have the opportunity to weave various elements in an ongoing and generative exploration:
The cultivation of being witnessed and mirrored - to be heard, seen, and reached for.
The learning and practicing of skills towards individual and group emotional regulation.
The utilization of consensual touch to reconnect to our bodies and the bodies of others.
The holding of communal grief and joy through ritual and practice.
The sharing of your own skills and the celebration of others’.
The welcomed exploration of your learning edge.
Who Is This Group For?
Who Is This Group For?
This support group is for Queer-identified people - LGBTQ+ folks of every expression, body, and background - who are longing for real connection and communal healing in this time of great change.
It’s for you if:
You long for spaces of authenticity and depth where you can bring your whole self - body, heart, spirit, and shadow.
You’ve done personal work (therapy, coaching, spiritual practice, recovery) and now feel called to grow through relationship - to see and be seen, to be reached for and to reach towards others.
You sense that the loneliness, isolation, and fragmentation so many of us carry are not just personal wounds but collective ones - and you want to be part of the healing.
You’re curious about touch, presence, and consent as pathways to healing.
You’re drawn to somatic ways of understanding transformation.
You’re ready to experiment with community as practice: to learn together, feel together, and evolve together.
This group may not be the right fit if:
You’re currently in acute crisis or in need of individual clinical care.
You’re seeking a therapy group with diagnosis and treatment goals.
This group welcomes those who are curious about co-regulating with others, and yearning for a deeper field of belonging, intimacy, and growth.
your Guides
your Guides
I am a Somatic educator, Sexological bodyworker, and integrative guide devoted to the work of embodiment, belonging, and transformation. Over the past decade, I’ve woven together threads from Sexological Bodywork, Social Work, Sacred Intimacy, Community Healing, and Tantric Philosophy to help others come home to themselves and to one another.
Through my practice, Spiritual Eros, I explore the intersections of eros, spirit, and psyche - supporting individuals, relationships, and communities in cultivating presence, compassion, and integrity. My facilitation style is grounding, intuitive, and relational, emphasizing the sacredness of being witnessed and the healing power of authentic connection.
In co-creating this Queer Support Group, I invite participants into a shared field of transformation - a living experiment in care, interdependence, and the art of being human together.
I have been professionally exploring the sensate, energetic, erotic, and intelligence of the body since 1985. Drawing on my mastery of experiential erotic education and somatic psychotherapy, I work with both individuals and groups.
Born in 1959, the time/space continuum of birth/death/change has intensified in these years over 65, and I feel brand new and old at the same time. I follow curiosity, aliveness, and transformation. Collaboration with others and supporting circles is a deep pleasure.

Because this is a committed, emotionally intimate space, we’re doing a simple email and interview process. If this invitation resonates with you, we invite you to contact us to schedule a joint virtual interview with Enoch and Alex.
This is also an opportunity to ask any questions you might have.
If it seems like a potential fit, we’ll schedule a 40-45 minute connection interview to meet one another, explore your intentions for joining, answer any questions you might have, and ensure this space will serve your needs and the needs of the group as a whole.
The pilot group will be offered on an equitable exchange sliding-scale payment model, designed to honor both accessibility and sustainability for the guides and group members alike.
Pricing tiers:
Seed - $60 - For folks with limited financial resources. A lower rate so the work is still accessible.
Grove - $120 - For folks with stable income who can pay the sustaining rate.
Forest - $180 - For folks with financial expansiveness who can help underwrite access for others.
Please let us know if you need further accommodations!
Safety and reflection
Safety and reflection
This is a facilitated relational container with shared agreements around presence, consent, confidentiality, emotional responsibility, and grounded communication. It is not a therapy group — it is a communal learning environment for Queer folks ready to practice belonging together. Together, we’ll co-create the rhythm, pace, flow, and mutual agreements of the group as we move through this shared exploration.
This group is an invitation to belong.
To be held and to hold others.
To reach toward, and to be reached for.
To practice being human — in all our complexity, tenderness, and power.
To reimagine community in a time which deeply needs it.
