We’re honored to join on October 14th for a conversation on Staying Grounded: Mental Wellness for LGBTQIA+ Individuals, Families & Friends.

Syd Seifert, LCSW (Founder of Manhattan Mindful) will be in conversation with the Compass community, exploring mental health in today’s political climate and practical skills for resilience. Lauren Scandiffio, LMSW will guide a grounding exercise to help participants walk away with tools they can use anywhere.

At Manhattan Mindful, we believe healing is a collective experience—and community care matters. Grateful to OUT@Compass for creating space for connection, safety, and support. 🌿

We had the best time at .invasion in the Pines last weekend! 🌊✨ What started as a pool party is now a global celebration of Trans Joy, art, and resistance—bringing record numbers of trans folks to Fire Island for free and creating space for allies to join in too.

It’s more than a party—it’s a movement. 🌈
Already counting down to next year!

“There comes a time when we have to stop hiding, when we have to stand up and say who we are.” — Louise DeSalvo

There’s something sacred about gathering—legs tucked under desks, pens uncapped, hearts cracking open to the page.

At Manhattan Mindful, we are deeply honored to partner with to create a space where older LGBTQ+ adults can write into their pleasure, their memories, their erotic aliveness. Too often, q***r elders are left out of conversations about s*x and desire. But we know: pleasure is not just for the young. It is a lifelong companion—one that can be reclaimed, reimagined, rewritten.

Writing is healing. A quiet revolution. A way back to ourselves.

We’re so grateful to witness the tenderness, humor, and power unfolding in this room.
