Queer Magic is a gathering space just for LGBTQ+ identified pagans, witches, and magical folx to be in community together. We host it on the first Tuesday of each month from 6-8pm at the Illuminations studio space in the Cherry Building.
Our next meeting is February 3.
New Year, New Vibes for Queer Magic! We will no longer structure our time around discussing a monthly topic. Our lovely group has shifted to focus on creating a chill, low-stakes conversational and safer space for Queer, Trans, and Non-binary magical folx to build community.
For those that love a little bit of structure and want to know what to expect ahead of time, we will:
✨ do brief intros and a check-in to share what's on our hearts and minds
✨ open discussion and snacks
✨ create space for folx to continue conversations, work on crafty projects, and/or do energy work and readings for one another in small groups
✨ come back together for a final check-out and farewell
This is always a free event. We value ensuring that all folx have access to co-created community space. Vegan and gluten-free snacks, tea, and coffee will be provided.
