Rituals and practices for reclaiming your gender journey, nurturing trans joy, and coming home to your innate, embodied sacredness
Drawing from his lived experience as a trans person, his training as a gender doula, and years of leading ritual and body-based healing work, Eli Lawliet offers tools for both personal transformation and collective survival—so you can live your gender journey wholly and unapologetically

Gender Rituals is a radically inclusive guide to honoring and navigating your gender journey—and reconnecting to your body as an ally.

About Your Instructor:

Eli Lawliet, Ph.D., (he/him) is the dreamer and weaver of The Gender Doula.

In addition to a decade of experience researching trans healthcare, law, policy, and history, he has formal training as a full-spectrum doula, breathwork facilitator, and tarot reader, as well as many years of surviving the world of poverty wages and retail work. The broad scope of his experience directly informs the equally broad spectrum of his work as The Gender Doula. Eli has been seeing clients since January of 2020 and has worked with hundreds of trans folks nationally and internationally in sessions, classes, and workshops. Though he was born in Oklahoma and raised in Missouri, Eli currently lives in Los Angeles (Gabrieliño-Tongva, Chumash, & Kizh land) with his partner, three cats, a dog, and four snakes.
