There's zero pressure to talk and you can choose how you want to connect with yourself and others.rnrnALL VIBES WELCOME: QC is for you - whether you're loud & proud LGBTQIA+, laying low with your identity/ies, or still figuring it all out, you'll be warmly welcomed. Because this space is about connection, not labels.rnrn>>> What does a session look like??rnEach session starts at 6:30pm and follows the same structure.rnrnThe first hour is planned and facilitated by Brendan, but how much you engage is up to you.rnrnBrendan will invite everyone to check-in at the start, to get a feel for where everyone is at, what people might want to do in this time together or need to feel comfortable in this space.rnAfter that, he will invite you to participate in some guided activities, but you don't have to if you don't want to - you can just carry on with your own creative task if that feels right.rnBrendan will be joined by co-hosts some weeks - other young LGBTQIA+ people who want to bring new creative and connective activities to the space. Think music, poetry, gaming, etc.rnBrendan will close the first hour with a check-out, to wrap up the guided time together.rnrnAfter that, it's fluid! You can choose to leave at 7:30pm or stick around for more chances to connect and create. Brendan will keep the space open until 8:30pm.
