Do you sometimes feel alone in this uncertain world?
Do you long for a community where you can simply belong just as you are?
Ruum meile (A Space for Us) is a series of gatherings created by Vikerteraapia Mõttekoda (Rainbow Therapy Think Tank) to support LGBT+ people and allies. It's a space where we can co-create a sense of community, where time can slow down and the soul can find room to breathe.
Together, we look inward with curiosity — learning to listen to our bodies, to honor our boundaries, and to recognize the wisdom that already lives within us.
Because the best thing we can do for our mental wellbeing is to stay connected — to ourselves and to each other.
Our second gathering focuses on minority stress. We will learn to recognise it's sneaky effect on our mental health and find ways to build resilience to it in ourselves and in others. The evening will be facilitated by one of our founders Laura Barbo with the support of a few helpers from the community. Laura is a peer support counsellor and has been finding ways to bring the LGBT+ community together for a while. Additionally, she has been studying the intricacies of human psychology, is about to finish her bachelor's degree in psychology and counselling and wrote her bachelor's thesis about minority stress and Estonian LGBT+ individual's experiences with mental health professionals.
Depending on the needs and preferences of the participants, the evening will be in Estonian or in English. Let us know about your language preferences when registering.
