A monthly meetup to discuss extracts from Buddhist texts from different traditions through the lens of queerness, gender, race, and climate justice.
Click here for what we’re reading this month.
This event is for both practicing Buddhists, who may find it difficult to bring these issues into more traditional Buddhist study settings, and for anyone who would like to discuss daily life and philosophical issues through a Buddhist lens.
Gender-conforming queers and allies are also welcome!
About the facilitator
Matt (they/them) is a Buddhist and self-professed nerd who has been practicing meditation for 7 years.
They have had challenges studying in more gendered Buddhist spaces in the past and are looking forward to the opportunity to discuss the intersection between Buddhist practice and queer ways of being.
Remi (they/them) started meditating four years ago, while re-assessing life after becoming chronically ill and recovering from burnout.
They are particularly interested in how we can apply Buddhist practice and principles to create a joyous liberated future and more sustainable ways of living in the world.

Queer Armenian Social
2025-12-20 15:00 - 17:00 (Europe/London) | London LGBTQ+ Community Centre, 60-62 Hopton Street, Thames Path, Bankside, London, England, SE1 9JH, United Kingdom
Join us for a relaxed social full of bonding, discussion, and chitter-chatter!

As queer people, it can be hard for us to bond with Armenians in the UK, while as Armenians in UK queer spaces we often struggle to find people who can connect with our Armenian side – the music, movie references, language, Armenian political anxiety.
The aim of the Queer Armenian Social is to create a regular opportunity for queer Armenians to meet and make friends who understand them in their entirety – their queerness and Armenian-ess alike. This is our space.

If you don’t want to join, that’s okay! It’ll just be an hour with slightly more chatting and background noise, no pressure at all. On sunny days we’ll eat outside.

A peer support space to tackle the sometimes stressful work of name changes, medical appointments, passport applications and more admin.

Do you have admin that you need to do around your transition? Would you like some support? Perhaps you want to legally change your name or your bank details?
These Trans Admin Group support sessions are a space where you can come to with any trans admin that you’re needing to do:
Sometimes we just need some encouragement from others, or not to be alone with this. Other times we might have very specific questions or need support with an admin task. Or someone who signs our deed poll, proof reads an email, helps us to write a complaint.
Whatever you are bringing to the sessions, chances are that someone else has experience with this or tips for you.

No appointments, no judgment — just community, care, and conversation.
