‘Queer Support Circle’ Hosts Transformative Conversation on Healing, Identity, and Inclusion

The ‘Queer Support Circle’, an initiative founded by Namrata and Sunny Arora, recently hosted a powerful and moving conversation centred on healing, lived experiences, and the truths often left unspoken in queer narratives. The event brought together voices of resilience, compassion, and insight in a safe and affirming space.

The session was skillfully moderated by Ananya Ray, Associate Editor at Feminism in India, who guided the dialogue with thoughtfulness and depth. Participants included a panel of distinguished professionals from different fields of care and advocacy.

LION Magnate Director & Rotary Kasba Chairperson Payal Verma, an acclaimed therapist, Pranic Healer and celebrity counselor, spoke about the intricate connection between mental, physical, and energetic healing. Her insights underlined how holistic care is vital to emotional recovery and growth.

Priyanka Shah, a renowned celebrity nutritionist, emphasized the often-neglected relationship between nutrition and mental health, urging participants to recognize how nourishment can impact overall wellbeing.

The panel also featured Dr. Tanushree Ghosh, celebrated author and changemaker, who shared reflections inspired by her newly released book focused on queer experiences. Her words offered both hope and an honest confrontation of the pain caused by systemic exclusion.

The conversation moved beyond formalities, delving into raw, authentic storytelling. Moments of shared laughter filled the room—not as a distraction, but as a testament to survival and strength. These stories reminded everyone present that while individual experiences may differ, the responsibility of fostering empathy and safe spaces lies with all, including cis women and cis men.

In the end, the session wasn’t just about wellness practices or storytelling. It was about confronting discomfort, validating pain, and making a collective commitment to do better.

‘Queer Support Circle’ continues to stand as a beacon for inclusive dialogue and community care—where healing is not just personal, but also political and deeply shared.
