Transnational
Queer
Underground

existed from 2009 until 2020.

Thank you for all the great projects, events, publications, meeting, joy, discoveries, your interest and your contribution!

The Transnational Queer Underground will continue to exist with all of us.

May you always feel empowered and joyful.

This world is yours to explore and enjoy.

TQU's Vision

A world where everyone can be free.

We believe that no person is free while there are others that are not.

We want to work towards creating that freedom for all.

TQU's Mission

Creating and maintaining transnational-queer-underground.net as an online platform, that provides useful information for the community and anyone interested.

Keeping this platform inviting and encouraging for people to participate, to come out and to find their voice.

Organizing public and private events, such as workshops, lectures, exhibitions, concerts, seminars, exchanges, etc.

Publishing books, zines, posters, etc.

Our mission might change over time, our vision won’t.

TQU on Freedom

WHAT DOES FREEDOM MEAN TO US?

Getting to know who we are and being there for ourselves as well as for each other. Protecting our earth.

Building community so that no one has to face injustice alone. Showing solidarity with all other beings.

Acknowledging privileges and unlearning prejudices. Meeting each other and learning from each other. Working and growing together.

Accepting ourselves with all our flaws and respecting the other, no matter how much we might disagree, how different our experiences might have been.

Queer as in Challenging Heteronormativity

Transnational as in creating a network and establishing links beyond borders. Taking global responsibility. Empowering people everywhere to let their voices be heard. Because we’re only as strong as we are together.

Queer as in fighting for the right for everyone to live the life they desire without facing discrimination.

Underground as in the place where the best ideas and practices are born. It’s where we empower ourselves. This is where we keep working on creating the future that we want to live in.

Thank you to all who were and are a part of Transnational Queer Underground!

Testimonial:

“The reason that I am writing to you is, because I’ve been thinking about you and all the great work you have done!! In Nicaragua, we have a bird (guardabarranco) that commits suicide when it is locked in a cage. It prefers to die rather than to be in captivity. And although I have thought about it, I would never hurt myself physically – mentally, I have felt like that bird many times.

The CREATRIX School, together with my willingness and my belief, has opened the door of that cage, the door to mental freedom. (…) I feel very good, I feel in peace, and the most important, I feel in connection with me on a transcendental level. I am in the best moment of my life, thanks to you and thanks to me 🙏🏽.”

It was really eye-opening having the sessions with Verena and getting to know the amazing Wheel of Colours.

One of the many things that I am grateful for, is that listening to your story, life experiences and your advice for new orientations, feels like a friendly pat on the shoulder, because you’ve walked the path which I’m now walking… 😊

In your work you offer acceptance, a lot of space and curiosity towards my challenges, in which I really feel secure and 100 % accepted as the person I am. A deep felt thank you for all of this, and I recommend your offers to anyone who is seeking guidance. - Lisbeth

The exercise in this lesson is pure magic: I’m standing in front of this huge canvas; it’s actually infinite because I’m the painter, painting my future life in this world and there are no limitations.

I have all the space I want, everyone has. The challenge for me is to capture this and to listen to my inner voice. I’m still learning to let it speak; not speaking because it thinks it has to earn the right to speak and if lucky maybe being heard…

My voice does no longer have to earn this right, it never really did, and now I’m aware of that. So I keep on painting my future life with all the colours of the rainbow and of the Wheel of Colours. -  Randy

Verena’s guidance in the CREATRIX School helped me step into my spiritual leadership without force, just by being myself, and with love. The questions, the exercises, they really changed me and brought so much clarity.

I didn't think a self-learn course could really trigger so much deep-rooted transformation, but I'm forever grateful that it did. - Lucien

I had a virtual meeting with Verena, and I felt really safe and comfortable opening up about my struggles with Verena.

She is such a good listener, and she shared with me a list of practical and efficient tools/solutions to change my mindset and the way I talk to myself.

It was eye-opening. I totally recommend talking to her - her expertise can be a precious resource for everyone! - Francesco

I am at a stage in my life where I can (and want to) make a shift, but struggle envisioning the right direction to take and the action needed.

Verena helped me to focus on my desires and not what is keeping me stuck. Her approach is sympathetic, calm and down-to earth.

It felt like she truly wanted to work with me towards my goals and my wellbeing, through small, concrete steps and kindness.

She made me feel more confident, and now the change seems more approachable. – Elena

Verena holds compassion for herself and for me, listens and allows space and treats me as an equal.

She shows up with curiosity & presence, reminds me to listen to what's important to me, suggests simple, manageable practices, giving me concrete things to work with, all in one 60-minute call.

Thank you for this life changing gift and guidance! – em

I always admired Verena's ability to bring together people of very diverse backgrounds and give others the space and the freedom to be who they are and to express themselves.

It was amazing to watch her transform her life and herself and become much happier in the process - and I'm so glad that she's guiding others and sharing her magic now.  – Cornelia
