By exploring yourself through breath you’ll learn the tools which are useful every day if you find yourself in a stressful situation.

We start of by shaking off our body’s to lose tension, once we’ve done a quick shake we settle down in a sacred circle, checking the way we breathe without controlling our breath. This involves moving into just noticing where our breathe is and how it flow through our body.
Slowly we start to consciously connect your breath to the rhythm of the breathing exercise we will go through, elevating our energy of love together and connecting on a higher deeper level with oneonother.
Closing up with a sacred circle by voluntary sharing your experience, feeling oneness and a big group hug.

Covid-Safe Social
2026-01-25 15:30 - 18:30 (Europe/London)
Join us for a relaxed social full of bonding, discussion, and chitter-chatter!

This is our January monthly social! We require (and provide) Covid tests, FFP2/3 masks, and HEPA air purifiers.
This event includes socialising, arts and crafts, games, and more.
Governments have decided to abandon infection control and endanger those around them, putting already-marginalised communities at risk of Long Covid and social isolation.
We want to create spaces for people to socialise, find community, and have fun without putting themselves or others at risk of damage to their immune, cardiovascular, or nervous systems.
FFP2/3 masks and proof of a negative test are required on the door (and provided), and HEPA air purifiers will be running at all times.
We are specifically welcoming:

Disabled people (4x higher COVID mortality rate)
People of colour (32% long COVID rate)
Women (36% long COVID rate)
Trans people (48% long COVID rate)
Neurodivergent people (30% long COVID rate)
People with HIV (58% long COVID rate)

or anyone else at increased risk (or those who don’t want to spread such a disease to the greater London community).
Check out a Reel of a previous event at the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre.
We provide conversation facilitation and introductions, so everyone feels comfortable and welcome. This is a seated event, and there is a quiet room. BSL interpreters are available upon request to breatheeasyldn@gmail.com. Please also contact us or the Centre for any other access needs.
January 2026 social
This month, we will also have a special table set up for vision board making and/or 2026 bingo card making, if you feel like getting creative! Materials will be provided, but feel free to bring your own magazines/pens/paper/glue/scissors to add to the table if you have any. Participation is completely optional.
If you would like to take part in the activity and aren’t able to bring any materials, if within your budget, we ask that you bring a £4 donation on the day to help us cover the cost of materials (or you can donate online via our GoFundMe). If you’re bringing your own materials, either to use just yourself or to share with the group, then no donation is needed (unless you’re feeling generous!) :).

Trans Admin Group
2026-01-20 15:00 - 17:00 (Europe/London)
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.

Queer Minds Movement Sessions: Yoga for Beginners
2026-01-19 18:00 - 20:00 UTC
Starting in December and continuing into 2026, Queer Minds will be hosting monthly movement sessions on the 3rd Monday of every month from 6-8pm!
We’re excited to be collaborating with Anton Reuben Young for our first three sessions – Yoga for Beginners.
These sessions are open to everyone regardless of your level of experience with yoga, though it will be led at a gentle pace and suitable for those who have never tried yoga before.
You are welcome to sign up to one, two, or all three sessions:

15 December 2025
19 January 2026
16 February 2026

Yoga mats and other props will be provided! Just arrive on time wearing comfortable clothing suitable for movement.
There is a space for you to share accessibility needs when registering.
About the facilitator
Anton is a London-based yoga teacher who has been guiding students since completing his teacher training in 2017. His approach to yoga is rooted in curiosity, creativity, and compassion—always encouraging students to explore movement in a way that feels authentic and empowering to their individual bodies.
With a deep appreciation for both the strength and subtlety of the human form, Anton weaves anatomy-informed sequencing with playful exploration. His classes are grounded in functional movement and strength-building, often themed around specific muscle groups or intriguing ways of moving. You’ll find a healthy dose of humour and lightness in his teaching style—he believes yoga can be both profound and playful, challenging and deeply human.
Whether you’re wobbling, wiggling, or meeting your edge, Anton creates a space where students can learn, laugh, and connect with themselves on and off the mat.

Queer Along the River: South London LGBTQ+ History and Drawing Workshop
2026-01-18 17:00 - 19:00 (Europe/London)
Join Dr Catherine Hahn in a history and drawing workshop on queer South London.

Join Dr Catherine Hahn in a history and drawing workshop on queer South London.
You will learn about LGBTQ+ South London history starting in the 17th century, then use a variety of drawing methods and experiments to recall queer pasts.
About this event
The workshop reclaims diverse, working-class LGBTQ+ South East London history through local stories and drawing. In doing so, it challenges Victorian accounts of poverty and crime that served as cultural erasure in the area.
In the workshop, we will explore how drawing methods can revive queer history. Art produced in Queer Along the River will be shown in Deptford Lounge for LGBTQ+ History month in February 2026.
Together, we will put South London’s LGBTQ+ heritage on the map!
Any level of art experience, including none, is welcome.
Historic resources, art material and support will be provided.
About the facilitator
Dr Catherine Hahn (she/her) is an artist and social researcher and has taught extensively in Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths and Art History at the University of Kent. Catherine has facilitated collaborative art workshops for many years.
She draws on her personal experience and research on queer South London for the tour.
