From September 7th to October 1st, FOLX Health is bringing health and wellness practices to an underserved community close to their organization’s heart. The FOLX Health and Wellness Summit will give participants access to a mix of breathwork and movement-based practices, talks and community panels, and live Q&As with clinicians prepared to answer participant questions in real-time.
While certain things, like regulating your breathing, are known to help with your overall wellness and levels of stress, the FOLX Health team wanted to create tools, discussions, and spaces with relevant information that spoke directly to their community’s needs. After surveying FOLX Health’s community, more than 3,000 respondents unanimously stated they would love to see more mental and behavioral health resources. Thus, the FOLX Health and Wellness Summit was born — furthering FOLX’s mission of being by and for the community.
As a digital health provider by and for the queer and trans community, FOLX Health offers HRT, PrEP, ED, and clinical consultations. During the month-long, virtual celebration, the Health and Wellness Summit will focus on the holistic care of the queer and trans community, and given the heightened importance of mental health, the event will feature curated events led by world-renowned leaders dedicated to the spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being of LGBTQ+ people.
The FOLX Health and Wellness Summit will feature leading figures such as:
• Ericka Hart, a leading black queer femme activist
• Jeffrey Marsh, a non-binary rights activist
• Ceyenne Doroshow, trans and sex worker rights’ movements leader
• Chris Mosier, the first openly transgender Olympian
The FOLX Health and Wellness Summit offers queer and trans people a month of endless opportunities to get emotionally and spiritually strengthen while being surrounded by queer and trans people who want to build a new world together. Each week will feature daily unique themes and talks, all centered on Mindful Monday, Trans Tuesday, Wellness Wednesday, Thirsty Thursday, and Fitness Friday.
Attendees will also have a chance to score discounts and products from a selection of LGBTQ+ brand partners and sponsors. Two ticket options are currently available:
- Single Session Ticket ($8): Attendees can build their own event calendar with their single-session tickets by choosing their favorite sessions of the month and buy tickets separately. They can either sweat it out with friends at one of the Friday Fitness classes or deep dive into the trans liberation movement with a panel of trans folks of different generations
- All-Access Pass ($30): Attendees get full access to four weeks of virtual live panels, workshops, and classes (valued at $200+) led by world-class queer and trans thought-leaders and wellness experts. Everything from meditation to financial fitness, from radical self-love to yoga and Zumba classes, is all available with this month-long pass.
