Stay Safe Y'all: Energetic and Digital Skills for an Unsafe World
A 3 week intensive with The Gender Doula & Transgressive Medicine
Stay Safe Y’all.
Because we need new skills for these times, and none of us have to learn those skills alone.
Why Stay Safe Y'all?
It’s Scary Right Now
Maybe you know that you need better data privacy, but you’re unsure where to start.
Maybe you’re exhausted, scattered, simultaneously hypervigilant and dissociated.
Maybe you want to come together with community, but being around others leaves you feeling depleted or anxious.
Maybe you know you don’t want [redacted] tracking your every move, but you’ve been on big tech platforms for years now, and the idea of switching feels exhausting.
Sound familiar?
You need skills.
We’re all struggling to know if we will be okay, and how we will be okay. There’s too much information, and not enough at the same time. So what do we do? How do we keep ourselves (and our communities) safe?
We have to learn to protect ourselves on multiple fronts--and we have to learn fast. That’s why Zel Amanzi (Transgressive Medicine) and Eli Lawliet (The Gender Doula) are combining our considerable experience and knowledge to bring you a brand new class where you can learn energetic & digital skills to increase safety.
6 classes. 3 weeks. This is an intensive skill-up complete with information, exercises, and guides to help you increase your safety in an unsafe world.

Is this course for me?
- Are you staying up to date on how the so-called United States are rapidly and openly institutionalizing fascism and anti-LGBT+ and xenophobic hatred?
- Are you aware that how you show up both offline and online right now can have a significant impact on your future and on the safety of your friends, family members and comrades who hold marginalized identities?
- Do you want to make changes, but maybe don't know how or feel deeply overwhelmed by the process?
- Do you want to feel empowered, clear and capable in a time where we are being distracted into disempowerment, confusion and incompetence?
If so, this class is for you!
Join Eli, Zel and your caring cohort for a life-affirming 3 weeks together!

Grounding.
Energy
- We begin here: getting our hearts and bodies grounded, out of the buzz of distraction and sending down roots of connection.
- These skills create a foundation for our cleansing and boundary practices.
- We apply these skills as a group and troubleshoot as needed.
Digital
- We reduce overwhelm and find empowerment through grounding into your unique digital landscape.
- Learn to discern where you’re at and what you need to address so you can move away from reactivity and toward your own values.
Cleansing.
Energy
- Exhausted, depleted, terrified? You need energetic cleansing skills, stat.
- Together we will learn how to build in layers of cleansing in practical, accessible ways.
- We will apply these skills as a group and troubleshoot as needed.
Digital
- Using what we learned about our personal digital landscapes, we begin reclaiming our data autonomy and agency.
- Digital cleansing is part energy work, part mindset, and part old fashioned legwork.
- Together, we begin to change our relationships to harmful platforms in ways that feel empowering instead of reactionary.
Boundaries.
Energy
- Boundaries - not just a buzzword! Its (much) easier to keep your energy cleansed and grounded when you’re boundaried.
- Intense times call for intense measures. We build layers of boundaries to create safety in our bodies and spaces.
Digital
- Our data has been breached, and will be again. This sucks, but none of us are helpless!
- Together, we will use the clarity and discernment we’ve cultivated to develop values-aligned strategies to protect ourselves online.
Why Join?
There is so much misinformation that is being deliberately distributed, and even more that is being unintentionally passed around. How do we know which risks we really need to prepare for and which are fear-mongering? How do we take that information and apply it to our own situations without totally upending our routines and schedules? How do we make the significant changes that this era is calling us to make without feeling isolated or overwhelmed by newness? How do we have the courage to tackle our fears head on without accidentally breaking our figurative necks? We want to support you in answering all these questions for yourself and equipping you and your peers with the skills to trust your decision making, all while learning very practically how to protect yourselves and each other.
We believe that all of us are energy workers, but only some of us are trained. With proper community support, we can harness the innate embodied energetic skills we all have access to, including intuition, breath, and movement to improve our lives. In 2025, many of us spend the majority of our social lives online. Our energy work matters here too, especially when many of our online convening places are mining and selling our private conversations. We can't improve our digital privacy and autonomy if our peers don't do so as well. In this community, you'll not only have a group of people with shared interests to work with; you'll also be listened to, resonated with and cared for. Importantly, you'll meet people you can continue this journey with when the course ends so you won't be alone on this journey.
