About this Event

Cosplay Healing Theory is a creative wellness experience exploring the powerful connection between fandom, identity, and mental health.

This community-centered event brings together cosplayers, gamers, creatives, and mental health advocates for an intentional space focused on expression, storytelling, and healing.

For many, cosplay is more than a costume.
It is confidence.
It is transformation.
It is survival.
It is belonging.

✨ Storytelling from creators and advocates
✨ Diverse cosplay representation
✨ A curated vendor marketplace
✨ Opportunities for speakers and sponsors
✨ An inclusive, welcoming environment for all identities

Whether you are a seasoned cosplayer, an anime lover, a gamer, a creative, or someone curious about how storytelling supports healing — this space was built with you in mind.

🎟 Free admission. RSVP required.
Limited seating available.

Vendor, Speaker, and Sponsorship inquiries are now open.

Join us and be part of a movement where creativity becomes community care.
