CALLING ALL LATE REALIZED NEURODIVERGENT CEOS, FOUNDERS, C-SUITE EXECUTIVES, MANAGERS, LAWYERS, ACADEMICS, NON-PROFIT LEADERS, TECH PROFESSIONALS, DIRECTORS, FINANCE PROFESSIONALS, ENGINEERS, HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS OF COLOR ❤️‍🔥

Dear fellow neurodivergent human of color,

If you identify with any of the following:

  • You’ve just realized you’re neurodivergent (ND) in your 30s and 40s…

  • You’re done code-switching all the time and assimilating into white, cis-het-dominated hustle culture…

  • You’re tired of masking your late-realized neurodivergence…

  • You’re also done over-compensating for your chronic illnesses and physical disabilities…

  • You’re done hiding your queerness and/or transness at work…

  • You want to lead, create, and communicate from a place of more authenticity instead…

  • You’ve been high-achieving at work in order to shield all the marginalized aspects of who you are from harm or scrutiny…

  • You still can’t unmask your neurodivergence for the sake of your safety or your (family’s) survival…

  • You want to reconnect with your creative spark in a more sustainable way for your neurodivergent self…

The Rewilding Retreat is for you.

4 weeks to recalibrate

In this one-to-one, virtual creative retreat, we’ll work together to:

WEEK 1: Shed light on the messages of we’ve internalized about ableism, capitalism, racism, queer/transmisia around our ND, authentic selves

WEEK 2: Uncover and grieve the surprising drains on our energy that we’ve been losing to internalized oppression

WEEK 3: Reconnect with our long-neglected, BASIC neurodivergent needs, with our bodies, the Land, and our ancestors - which are just as important as food and water

WEEK 4: Create your custom go-bag of body, Land, and ancestral-based tools to take care of your nervous system in each aspect of your daily life…

Without ignoring the structural oppression that prevents multiply-marginalized ND folks from fully meeting our needs.

Because the reality is - not all of us are safe to unmask at work or be our full selves around family, at least not just yet.

And it takes more than 4 weeks (years, actually!) to reclaim your full power from systems of oppression.

This retreat is just the first step.

So if you’re starting to recognize that it’s non-negotiable for you to be in the right relationship with your work and your body…

This retreat is where you can find room in your life to reset and recalibrate…

To breathe easier, laugh more, and feel more whole.

To get back in touch with the spark that made you fall in love with what you do in the first place.

To create your own tools for advocating for yourself, setting boundaries, protecting your energy, and more.

This is about calling your energy back, one step at a time.

We owe it to ourselves in a world that demands so much (masking) from us while giving us so little (support).

And we don’t have to do it alone.

Let’s retreat together

Hi, I’m TQ! The 1:1 Rewilding Retreat is borne out of my decades of lived experience as a queer, trans, physically disabled, AuDHD, Chinese-Singaporean artist, writer, and facilitator living in diaspora.

For this Retreat, I draw from my experiences of:

  • Making Art, storytelling, and learning accessible for multiply-marginalized neurodivergent kids as a high school Art and Literature teacher

  • Advocating for my neurodivergent and disabled needs as a former financial copywriter and assistant copy chief

  • Managing/mentoring a team of copywriters while overseeing high-stakes marketing campaigns for million-dollar companies

  • Facilitating restorative, accessible, and grounding online spaces for disabled, neurodivergent BIPOC folks

  • Obsessively writing and making art about the disabled, neurodivergent experience

  • A lifelong practice of journaling, meditation, somatics, and empathetic listening and communication.

Note: This is not therapy or a diagnosis. This is peer support, compassion, and awareness raising for late-realized or late-diagnosed ND folks of color. I do not require proof of diagnosis to work with you.

Here’s what others have said about my work…

Kind words about my work

  • “I was super anxious earlier in the day, having choice paralysis over what to do. Getting on this call and having this carved-out space with like-minded people helped. Honestly, it was the most relaxed I felt all day.”

    - L.

  • “I felt some anxiety in my stomach area but it passed as I rested. It was nice as I’ve been quite busy and hadn’t really had time to sit and feel the anxiety.”

    - R.

  • “Thank you for doing all that labor to make it happen!! It truly did make my day so much better 🌈💕🔥💕”

    - L.

  • "It’s been lovely to figure it all out together. When you’re in an emergent space where that’s acceptable, it’s actually healing and restful.”

    - A.

  • "I feel less activated, like the tenor of stress in the background is a little less loud." 

    - M.

  • "Thanks so much for this care & rest work!"

    - O.

Create Your Nervous System Go-Bag*

There are 8 billion different nervous systems in the world, and each one is finely tuned with its own unique needs.

Many of those needs have been obscured by capitalism, colonialism, ableism, and other systems of domination…

So much that many of us have NO idea what our neurodivergent basic needs are… or how to tune into the wisdom of our bodies, the Land, and our ancestors to meet them.

Honestly, that’s a recipe that keeps us trapped in the unsustainable cycle of swinging between high-achieving and ND burnout.

At this retreat, we will spend 4 weeks creating your very own Nervous System Go-Bag of care protocols to help you navigate each aspect of your life, so you can:

  • Communicate with more presence…

  • Lead with more authenticity…

  • Create with more compassion…

  • Honor your capacity…

  • And feel more at ease with your beautifully ND self.

I can’t wait to see what your Nervous System Go-Bag looks like.
