From the publisher
The Queer Spirit podcast is hosted by Nick Venegoni (he/they) & TanyaMarck Oviedo (they/them). Here you will find two kinds of episodes - Care Chats and Care Circles. - Care Chats are short, mindful conversations where we talk about what is on our hearts + minds, and share ideas about how we fill our mugs of care - how we practice taking care of ourselves AND each other. - Care Circles are recordings of QS Community live virtual gatherings where we explore care practices of movement, breath work, meditation, sound and more, together. Queer Spirit (QS) is a grassroots non-profit charitable organization. We are space holders who offer care-centered virtual + inclusive spaces centering Queers + Allies. Since 2018 QS has been providing free support and care globally via our virtual care circles and the QS podcast.
