One circle. Many voices. Deep listening. (9).png

திருநர் மக்களும், அவர்களுடன் நிற்கும் ஆதரவாளர்களும் ஒன்றாகக் கூடி பகிரவும் கேட்கவும் இருக்கும் ஒரு வட்டம் இது.

இங்கு வரும் அனைவருக்கும் பேச இடம் உண்டு.
 

நரம்பியல் வேறுபாடு கொண்ட திருநர் குரல்களையும், அதோடு இங்கு வரும் அனைத்து குரல்களையும் கேட்பதற்காகவும், அதை மனதால் புரிந்துகொள்வதற்காக மட்டுமல்லாமல் அந்த இணைப்பை உடலோடு உணர்வதற்காகவும் நாம் ஒன்று கூடுகிறோம்.
 

இங்கு யாரையும் மாற்றவோ,
அறிவுரை சொல்லவோ,
தீர்ப்பு வழங்கவோ நாம் கூடவில்லை.

கேட்போம். பகிர்வோம். அருகில் இருப்போம்.
 

இங்கு பகிரப்படுவது இங்கேயே இருக்கும்.
இங்கு கற்றுக்கொண்டது மட்டும் நம்முடன் வெளியே செல்லும்.
 

நீங்கள் இருப்பது போலவே வந்து, இந்த வட்டத்தில் கலந்துகொள்ளுங்கள்.
இந்த சமூகத்தின் ஒரு பகுதியாக இருங்கள்.

தயவுசெய்து நேரத்திற்கு வாருங்கள்.

ருவேளை தாமதமானாலும் பரவாயில்லை, உங்களுக்கு இடம் செய்து

குரல் வட்டம், Kural Vattam, is a sharing and listening circle for trans folks and allies alike. Everyone who comes has space to share. Trans rights are human rights, women's rights, gay rights, climate justice, they are all connected, and when one thread is pulled, everything moves. This circle exists to hear Neuro-Trans voices and all voices, and to feel that connection in the body, not just understand it in the mind. It is also an act of community building, a small seed sown toward something larger, a village that takes care of its own.

You are welcome, all of you. You may speak, share, or choose not to. We enter together with shared agreements, confidentiality, presence, and respect for time and for each other.Expect a space built on sharing and listening, without fixing, without advising, without judgement. What happens here stays here, what's learnt here leaves here. What you say is simply received. There is room for embodiment, for feeling things in the body rather than only thinking about them, and space for art as another way to express what words may not reach. There will be quiet, there will be things that are hard to say, and there will be room to feel what comes up in your own time.

This circle is offered as a gift culture. You're welcome to contribute any amount that feels right to you, this helps us continue holding these circles.
 

If you'd like to contribute in kind instead, Ember Root Collective  is a new trans and neurodivergent inclusive Community Center taking shape, and could use support with: art supplies, rugs, mats, and seating arrangements, stationery, a whiteboard, lamps, mugs and cups, kitchen items, or your own artwork.
