🌱 Roots of Resilience: A Community Workshop to Cultivate Strength, Connection, and Purpose

Hosted by Brian Peacock, PsyD of the ALT-G Therapy Group, this discussion-based workshop offers a space to reflect, connect, and build community resilience in a time of climate distress, political tension, and uncertainty.

We’ll explore climate and social emotions, engage in a structured community process group, complete an Action Identity Venn Diagram, create a personal resilience plan, and connect with local community efforts.

Inspired by the climate-emotion frameworks of Jon Gorman, PsyD, this workshop emphasizes groundedness, meaning-making, and collective care.

📅 Feb 3 | ⏰ 7–9pm | 📍 Rowan Tree (Baltimore)
All are welcome.

Understanding male sexuality—beyond the myths
This month’s Intimacy Hour, hosted by ALT-G's Rachel Keller and Crystal Baldwin on Sept 10th @ 5:15pm ET online, is all about understanding male/AMAB sexuality in a way that goes beyond the myths. We’ll look at how culture and history have influenced ideas of masculinity and pleasure, explore the basics of anatomy and arousal, talk honestly about common sexual challenges and treatments, and share ways to navigate desire differences in relationships.

Whether you identify as male, love someone who does, or simply want to deepen your understanding, this is a welcoming space to learn, reflect, and connect with others.

Join us for an open, compassionate conversation about sexuality, intimacy, and connection

ALT-G stands for the Authentic Living Therapeutic Group. We’re a collective of passionate mental and relational health providers, deeply rooted in the consensual non-monogamous, q***r, neurodiverse, and kink communities. As members ourselves, we’re committed to ongoing growth and development that centers these identities. We offer sex-positive, intentional, and dedicated care for those we serve.

*The garden is not wheelchair accessible unfortunately. It is a 3-5 minute walk from parking, along an unpaved pathway through the woods, with a mild incline and roots and gravel along the path.

Who is Invited:
We welcome anyone who is seeking community and connection based around mutual support and respect. We specifically serve the LGBTQ+, neurodiverse, and nonmonogamy communities. Children are welcome if they will be able to participate in the event without significant disruption to the other participants.

Fundraiser:
This event is in support of The Baltimore Safe Haven, which is a trans-led drop-in safe haven in Baltimore: https://www.baltimoresafehaven.org/. Participants are asked to donate $10 (or more if desired) to the cause.

The Power of Storytelling:
Fall and winter are a time of digesting the spring and summer. Part of how that happens is through storytelling. Storytelling is also an important part of liberation, as it allows us to claim what is important in our lives. Through telling our own stories, we are standing up to say that we’re alive and we matter, regardless of what society, politics, or others say.

Do you have a story you’d like to share? Sharing about your unique experience and perspective helps those around you feel less alone. What aspects of your story would you like to let go of? Maybe something you’ve been told about yourself, or something from your past that no longer serves you.
