We couldn't keep you waiting too long! Join us for the second group in queue for roll out in Wombat's fully revamped group program: Gender F*ckery!

Censorship is all around us, and we end up internalizing a lot of that. Led by our very own Micah Fahar, this group intends to provide a space to delve into and challenge externalized and internalized messages about gender, ultimately allowing a deeper connection with your own personal gender identity, expression, and understanding.

This group will take place on Wednesdays from 5 PM to 6:30 PM PST, so pop it into your calendars now. (CA residents only, like all our services!) We will announce the official start date once the first cohort has assembled.

Please sign up via our usual intake form found on our page.

Micah (M. Nia, AMFT #152356) is a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist working under the supervision of Kameryn “Yams” Rose, LMFT #119932.

Happy 3rd Anniversary, Wombat! Thank you for creating community with us.

Increased attacks on our communities have had immediate, visible impacts across the board. Impacts on safety and security, humanity and belongingness, vital program funding and community spaces. The call to action is to be there for community while maintaining the delicate balance of caring for yourself. An empty glass can't refill a pitcher.

Ways to give back to your community:
✨ Check-in on your friends. This could mean a meme, call, visit, or hang out. It may seem irrelevant in the grander scheme of things, but these connections are the most important.
✨ Revitalize community aid. Aid goes beyond dollars--curate and catalogue resources, share them, offer to make that phone call or finish that chore. Show up and show out within your capacity.
✨ Boost the voices of those in your community putting in the work but not being heard as loudly as community influencers. The trans and BIPOC activists, the grassroots orgs, community spaces (cutiesla, theplantchica, lacuddleclub), and honestly places like Wombat (ICOW, Mi Centro, The Alexis Project).

Ways to give back to yourself:
✨ Take a pause.
✨ Ask yourself, how am I feeling? Have I hydrated? Have I eaten? What am I putting into my body? What am I sensing in my body? And what can I do about it?
✨ Set an intention for the day. Let yourself be in community, whether that's surrounded by your plants, your friends, or at a community event.
