Thank you for sharing the heart-warming practice on 17 May, commemorating the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Transphobia (IDAHOT / IDAHOBIT) 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
We flew the progress flag proudly at @foundrysg with thanks to the wonderful support of June and Neisha from @thetprojectsg 🙏
20 participants came together to sing, sit, walk, eat, and to rest mindfully for a day, watering the seeds of non-fear in each other.
A much needed moment for respite and reflection, amidst challenging times for the trans community and especially trans youth in Singapore.
