Wellness Beyond Barriers 2025
The Center is pleased to partner with I Am Well Foundation to host Wellness Beyond Barriers. LGBTQ+ communities often face chronic stress, food insecurity, and limited access to holistic care, leading to poor physical, mental, and emotional health. Wellness Beyond Barriers helps bridge this gap by providing a year-long wellness program that builds resilience and empowers participants to take control of their well-being. Each session includes an interactive lesson and personal connections with I Am Well partner providers. Sessions include tools and practices to build resilience, manage stress, practice self-care, as well as nutrition and gardening education. The program is funded by the Dayton Foundation’s Greenlight Grant.
Drum Circle
The Center hosts Sense of Healing’s Harmonic Drum with their partners on the 4th Sundays of the month from 2:00-3:30pm. This LGBTQ+ and allies inclusive Drum Circle promotes drumming for fun, personal healing, and building community. Open to learners, beginners, and drummers of all skills. Drums are available for those who don’t already have one. Suggested donation is $11.00, but all are welcome. For more information, email Michelle Hickman.
