Creative Queer Meet-ups

Overview:
We will meet weekly between February and June, and monthly in the summer.
On the 22nd of June we have a celebration day, where everyone who’s taken part in the project (participants and facilitators) comes along. We have the best day dancing, celebrating and feeling joyful. We capture parts of that day through photography and exhibit it on the walls. You can see last year’s exhibition when you pop into the studio. You can choose not to be in front of the camera, or just attend the sessions and not the Celebration Day. We handle everyone’s needs as sensitively as possible.

About Butterfly Soup activities:
We will meet every Monday at 7:30pm, starting 5th of February 2024. We will have one facilitator as a constant figure weekly and different co-facilitators visiting the project at various times to share their creativity with you. We will talk, have a cuppa, and do something creative. This usually involves a little movement, a little meditation and some visual arts.

This project is participant-led, which means you can have a say on what you’d like to happen each week. You can even just pop in and grab a cuppa if you don’t feel like ‘doing’.

This space is primarily about coming together, followed by getting creative and looking after our mental health.

We will have BSL communication Support available.
