SUMMARY:Ancestral Transmissions: Collective Collaging Future Portals
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a creative workshop that celebrates our shared stories and East\, South and Southeast Asian queer and trans lineages.\n\n\nJoin us for a care-centred\, imaginative and creative workshop that celebrates our shared identities\, stories and East\, South and Southeast Asian queer and trans+ lineages. \nAncestral Transmissions invites participants to explore themes of belonging\, identity\, grief\, love and community through creating a ‘collective portal’ through collaging – a process of creating\, healing\, connecting and imagining together. \nThrough intuitive making and imagining\, guided by gentle prompts\, we’ll connect to our ancestors (real or imagined) and offer transmissions to future queer generations. This practice will encompass connecting to the different parts of us\, connecting to the collective and positioning ourselves as future ancestors gathering together in solidarity\, resistance and joy. We will honour that we have always existed in our cultural histories and will continue to exist. \nWe’ll begin with gentle reflection to connect with our ancestors and our ancestral queer histories and practices (real and/or imagined)\, or inner selves\, before co-creating a collective collage – a fabric ‘portal’\, using paint\, collage\, fabrics and textures. \nThis is a relaxed space for LGBTQ+ East\, South\, and Southeast Asian people to connect\, express\, and rest in community. No art experience is needed and all materials will be provided. \nThere are no expectations or pressure to come as anything more than you are and feel on the day. Bring your stories\, your softness\, your silence and anything you’d like to offer to the collective art (this could be a fabric\, a word\, a flower\, a photograph – or just yourself). \nPhotos by Aaran Sian from a previous workshop at the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre. \nAbout the facilitator \nAaran Sian (they/them) is a multidisciplinary artist and designer working at the intersection of visual art\, community and speculative futures. \nTheir collaborative\, process-led approach creates space for connection and collective making. Through workshops\, participatory projects\, visual art and world building\, their work carves space for urgent dreaming and for imagining radical\, speculative futures and reclaim histories through the lens of QTPOC. \nAccessibility \nThe Centre’s accessibility statement is here. \nCovid-19 safety at the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre \nTo keep our community safe\, we ask that all visitors do not visit the Centre if they are feeling any Covid-19 symptoms including headache\, fever\, sore throat\, consistent cough\, and chills. \nFor current information on Covid please visit the NHS website. \nDonate to the Centre \nWe rely on donations to ensure that the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre can keep its doors open for years to come. \nTo donate or become a Friend of the Centre\, visit our website.

SUMMARY:Winter Wellbeing Workshop (6-week online programme)
DESCRIPTION:6-week programme designed to support people to develop new skills and strengthen existing strategies to maintain wellbeing over winter.\n\n\nA series of six two-hour workshops will be facilitated across November and December. In these sessions\, participants will develop their skills in noticing fluctuations in mood\, and learn new strategies to help regulate their emotions. The workshops will not be a formal therapeutic space\, and as such\, will not invite in-depth exploration of participants’ histories or contexts. Instead\, this will be a space for collaborative learning and peer support\, as we develop our compassionate selves and apply new skills to our day-to-day lives. \nAs spaces are limited for this series of workshops\, we ask that participants are able to commit to attending all 6 sessions. \nDates (by booking a ticket you confirm your availability for the following): \n\nTuesday 4 November\nTuesday 11 November\nTuesday 18 November\nTuesday 2 December\nTuesday 9 December\nTuesday 16 December\n\nIt is essential that participants commit to the 6-week programme to get the most out of the workshops\, as there will be a gradual development of ideas and skills over time. \nAbout the facilitators \nDr Navya Anand (she/her) is a queer Indian cis-gendered woman based in London. She works as a clinical psychologist and systemic practitioner. Navya has collaborated with the London LGBTQ Centre since 2022\, offering staff support spaces\, consulting on wellbeing initiatives\, and facilitating the Winter Wellbeing Workshop series in 2024. Navya hopes to revisit the Winter Wellbeing Workshops this year\, with a focus on cultivating compassion to as a way to navigate dark times. \nAccessibility \nWe hope to make this group accessible to a wider range of people in the community\, and as such will be providing the workshops online in the evenings on Mondays. Closed captions will be available\, and we welcome conversations about how to ensure the space is accessible to all participants. \nCovid safety at the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre \nTo keep our community safe\, we ask that all visitors do not visit the centre if they are feeling any Covid-19 symptoms including a headache\, fever\, sore throat and consistent cough. \nYou can wear a mask if you feel more comfortable.
