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 gathering is March 3.
For those that 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.
Please register through the Illuminations events page so we have an anticipated head count.
