Supporting LGBTQ+*We use the term LGBTQ+ while acknowledging its limitations in fully representing the diverse and intersectional identities within our community. Leadership & Well-Being Through Music

We are a queer-led organization that designs LGBTQ+ wellness spaces for personal and professional development. Our immersive workshops focus on using music and evidence-based skill building to leverage the unique strengths of our community and foster leadership, self-empowerment, and psychological flexibility.

Supporting queer communities across the country

Sonic Connections queer-centered music workshop

Traditional leadership and well-being programs often fail to lean on the unique perspectives, strengths, and challenges of LGBTQ+ individuals. Sonic Connections fills this gap with tailored, arts-based strategies that transform and integrate our lived experiences into effective tools for growth.

Moving beyond resilience into queer power and leadership.

Though well-intentioned, resilience work can subtly suggest the path to wellness and success means getting back to “normal.”

We believe in something far greater and transformational for our community—an approach to enhancing potential that enables queer individuals to not just bounce back, but genuinely thrive in their gifts and experiences.

Our programs help participants channel their intersectional identities—including the thoughts, stories, beliefs, issues, and emotions that come with them—to develop a sense of what makes them unique and supercharge their personal and professional lives.

Society tells us to push away our problems and neglect our queer identities. Reconnecting with our collective experience and values reinforced the importance of facing—rather than pushing away—challenges.

What to Expect

How It Works

We leverage the fields of mindfulness and music therapy to offer practical self-discovery experiences that help participants navigate the emotional, cognitive, and distinct complexities faced by our community. Through a 2-hour, live workshop complemented by an asynchronous library of wellness resources, participants are equipped with tools and techniques for personal growth, leadership, and allyship.

Outcomes

Our workshops foster personal self-care and enhance interpersonal dynamics within the LGBTQ+ community. Participants develop a sense of connection, visibility, and acceptance, which are crucial in reducing feelings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness to enhance overall well-being and work/life effectiveness. Individuals gain the tools and confidence to advocate for themselves and others, empowering them to become catalysts for positive change in their lives and communities.
