The Queer Support Group
A 3-month, queer-centered container for LGBTQ+ folks who are ready to deepen their relational capacity, grow their emotional integrity, and practice the ways of support, care, and belonging.
What This Is
This is a three-month, in-person support circle for queer and LGBTQ+ people who want to grow through community and practice.
We gather weekly in Seattle to co-create a living space of presence, empathy, conflict repair, emotional skill-building, somatic awareness, and shared transformation.
The Queer Support Group meets from January–April 2026.
The Invitation
Where We Are
We’re living in a time of immense reimagining. The old ways of surviving—isolated, self-contained, and disconnected—can no longer sustain the new realities emerging around us.
Queer people have always been edge-walkers. Our lives are multidimensional. We see differently. We feel differently. We move through the world with an intuitive understanding of transition, creativity, and communal magic.
The Call & Intention
We’re seeking 12 queer-identified individuals who feel the pull toward something more integrative, more honest, more connected.
This 3-month pilot is an experiment in community support—built by us and for us.
Your facilitators, Enoch and Alex (Jade) Jacks, bring 50 collective years of experience in Somatic Education, Social Work, Social Justice, Spiritual Philosophy, Sexual Healing, and Tantric perspectives.
The intention of this circle is to serve as a living communal laboratory—a place to practice and re-member how to be in community, deepen relational integrity, hold conflict with compassion, and rediscover what support means in this new era.
Why Group Work?
“What one acknowledges in the formation of community is the possibility of doing together what is impossible to do alone.” — Malidoma Somé
- Hold, witness, and transmute grief
- Grow empathy through shared experience
- Break the spell of loneliness and isolation
- Learn rupture and repair in real time
- Build resilient community from the ground up
What We Will Explore
- Being witnessed and mirrored in your fullness
- Emotional regulation and co-regulation skills
- Consensual touch and somatic presence
- Rituals for communal grief and communal joy
- Sharing your gifts and celebrating others
- Exploring your living learning edge
At the heart of this group is the belief that we are stronger together, that disconnection is one of our deepest wounds, and that community is an innate human need.
Who This Group Is For
For queer and LGBTQ+ folks of all identities, expressions, bodies, and backgrounds who are longing for real connection and communal healing.
It’s for you if you:
- Want spaces of depth, honesty, and authenticity
- Are ready to bring your whole self—body, heart, spirit, and shadow
- Have done personal work and now want relational growth
- Feel the ache of loneliness as something collective, not just personal
- Are curious about touch, somatics, presence, and consent
- Want to practice community as a living, evolving craft
This group may not be a fit if:
- You are in acute crisis or need individual clinical care
- You are seeking a therapy group with diagnosis/treatment goals

Safety & Agreements
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.
Closing Reflection
This group is an invitation to belong. To be held and to hold others. To practice being human—in all our complexity, tenderness, and power. To reimagine community in a time that deeply needs it.
