Hello Reader,

Queer Spirit is continuing to honor the Cancer energies of the summer season by keeping things mellow and chill.

As many places are experiencing extreme heat waves, let's envision resting safe and secure, like little hermit crabs along the shore with cool waves lapping at our feet.

Check out this lovely + soothing track by Calm Whale to support and soothe with watery vibes.

For the next few weeks we're down shifting into a lighter version of QS and making more space for rest, recovery and renewal. TanyaMarck will be heading into a procedure next week for their gender journey and spending more time cocooning and healing. Nick and his husband are moving into a transformative process in their home, so we are really leaning into this energy of home, body, and foundational support as we move through this last week of Cancer season.

We invite to explore your own rest and care by connecting with Queer Spirit Community resources in these ways: Patreon / QS Podcast, Care Menu offerings, and monthly virtual Care Circles.

With care + in solidarity,
TanyaMarck + Nick
