Queer Meditations for Dark Times (Zine)

Zine/pamphlet, published by Microcosm.

How can you embrace your most expansive, authentic life when the world's hostility is always shoving you into fight or flight? Trauma specialist, multidimensional artist, and magickal practitioner Rosśa Crean draws upon their work with clients and their own experience with abuse and recovery in this powerful selection of reflections, prompts, and musings to support others navigating dark times. Each meditation is designed to help achieve a sense of calm, clarity, and perspective, allowing you to be the recipient of your own nurturing. Whether navigating the idea of "self-fullness," learning about Internal Family Systems, embracing the lessons of anger, or getting better acquainted with your shadows, the meditations in this zine warmly invite you to pause, reflect, and celebrate the vibrant tapestry of your queer identity. Embrace this transformative journey with open arms and an optimistic heart!

Microcosm Publishing is a fiercely independent publisher and distributor that empowers readers to make positive changes in their lives, their communities, and their world.

They began in 1996 and are now based out of Cleveland and Portland, OR. In the beginning, they set out to save ourselves from not caring. But out in the margins, they found inspiration in countless folks and communities who make them want to do more, and better. They've professionalized a little from their punk roots (where once they had zines in a milk crate, they now have warehouses), but Microcosm is still fueled by the dream of a better world, motivating them to share the resources needed to get started building it, right now, together.
