Holding Space for Mindfulness + Reflection - Room 111
2025-06-23 13:00 - 15:00
Take a break from the hustle of Pride Month and join us for one of two Holding Space sessions, a quiet, supportive gathering provided by Montrose Center therapist, Jennie Ho, LPC (she/her). The first session will be held on Monday, June 23 and the second will be held on Wednesday, June 25.

In this group-style setting, Jennie will create a peaceful environment for anyone seeking connection, reflection, or simply a place to be. Inspired by the idea of “holding space” (yes, Wicked fans, we see you), these sessions offers a moment to recharge emotionally and connect more intentionally, away from the energy of large Pride events.

All are welcome.

Free to Drop-In – no registration required.

LGBTQ+ individuals and working people in Houston face numerous attacks. Gender-affirming care for tens of thousands of transgender people has been swept away, and there is a wave of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation in Texas and nationwide. Now more than ever, we must build community movements to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and the reforms that working people need, such as universal healthcare and affordable housing.B. Harrison
