ABOUT
Welcome home, Sunshine! Sun Seed Community(SSC) is a platform for the practice of collective healing. The intention of SSC is to feel into and sit with emotional, mental, and physical trauma while acknowledging whiteness, cis-heteronormativity, and patriarchy through their podcast, consulting, body/energy sessions, workshops, and group and individual container building. SSC is dedicated to the liberation of everyone's bodies and minds, especially within queer, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and communities who are deemed "other."
THE SQUAD
Brandon Ung
(he/him/his) is the Water Bearer, aka Advisor and Right Hand W.O.E., of the Sun Seed Community. Born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa by Tai Dam refugees of the Vietnam War, Brandon is a unicorn-loving healer and strategist in the battle for social justice. Enchanted by chaos, he is compelled to harmonize all the pieces into synchronicity. He received a BBA in Business Analytics & Information Systems from the University of Iowa and continues to study many aspects of community organizing. Currently, Brandon is a corporate office support specialist championing corporate social responsibility by day and a spice mage cooking up delicious meals and sick burns by night. His role in the Sun Seed Community is to ensure that, much like a well-planned irrigation system, there are structures and channels in place that create pools for deep reflection, and that all seeds (persons and ideas) are nourished for growth.
