Angelic Goldsky (they/them) is a queer and trans nurturance culture builder and transformative educator. They have been leading workshops and advisory sessions on nurturance culture for the past three years in arts organizations, institutions and schools. Most recently at the University for Peace (UPEACE) in Costa Rica and at the Sarah Mclachlan School of Music in Vancouver. Moving with the notion of Recognize to Transform, they have founded events promoting consent and queer and trans safety including Queer Homelands at the Museum of Anthropology, Every Kind of Love at the Chan Centre, and the UBC LGBTQQ2SIA+ Pride Festival. They are the founder The Transgender Expressions Haven - a virtual centre for arts expression and transgender creative genius celebration which they were proud recipient of a Creative BC Interactive Grant to produce. They hold a MA in Arts Politics from New York University where they built their base of theoretical and practical components of system-building outside of oppression and violence, and towards equality for all.

Each workshop is developed specifically for the group’s needs. Each workshop uses the notions of Recognize, Disrupt, Transform and provides a unique pathway to Acknowledgement, Full Justice and or Full Forgiveness and Full Re-Integration. Angelic makes clear to excavate myths about violence, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ communities and reality - so we can Recognize to Transform together, so the queerest queer can shine!
