Bi+ Joy Speed Friending — for Bisexual Health Awareness Month
2026-03-15 14:00 - 16:00 (Europe/London)
A validating, empowering space for bi+ people to share experiences and meet your fabulous future bi besties via speed friending!

Happy Bisexual Health Awareness Month!
This March, join Florence from Bi Bitch in this validating, empowering space for bi+ people to come together, reflect and share experiences — and meet your fabulous future bi besties via speed friending. Because unlocking the power of community is what can really help us say goodbye to biphobia and reclaim our bisexual joy…
Who?
Anyone who identifies as bi+ (inclusive of trans and non-binary people) and wants to grow their bi-specific community.
Why?
There is an invisible health crisis impacting bi+ people: we often report not feeling valid or welcome in other queer spaces and beyond — and despite making up around half of the LGBTQ+ community, there is a huge lack of bi-specific spaces and support.
The impact of this is significant: we’ve been found to have some of the highest rates of anxiety, chronic illness, addiction and more. So, it can make a huge difference to meet other bi+ pals who *just get it*. This is your invitation to grow your community and celebrate yourself in a unique, bi-specific space.
What to expect:
• Icebreakers (with prizes!)
• Speed friending in groups — plus conversational prompts, music & vibes
• Snacks
Bring on the bi+ joy!
🩷💜💙

About the facilitator
Florence Scordoulis (she/her) is the founder of Bi Bitch: bi-specific events in London and online, which empower the bi+ community, foster connection, and help you say goodbye to biphobia, from speed-friending to singles nights and more.
She is also a writer specialising in LGBTQ+ and bisexual experiences. You can follow her work here, sign up for the Bi Bitch newsletter and join the community to stay up to date with upcoming events.

Queer Cacao Circle
2026-03-15 17:00 - 18:30 (Europe/London)
A Cacao Circle offers people in the community an opportunity to come together, to make new connections and foster a sense of belonging.

A Queer Cacao Circle offers people in the community an opportunity to come together, to make new connections and foster a sense of belonging. It’s a moment to pause and be still, allowing us to reflect and access the inner wisdom which drinking Cacao in ritual can provide.
The theme of this Circle will be around queer creativity and the new moon.
The Circle starts once everyone is seated comfortably in a circle on the ground.
After a brief introduction to the facilitator and a description of the sequence of events, we begin with a guided meditation to help us arrive in the space.
Everybody is then invited to share their name and briefly tell us what brought them to the Circle today.
After the sharing, the facilitator, Chui-Yee, will talk a little bit about Cacao, its ancestry and its properties, the lunar cycles, and the Circle’s theme, before inviting everyone to spend some time reflecting, maybe writing down some thoughts, while Chui-Yee prepares the Cacao.
Once the Cacao is ready, it is served in individual cups and passed to everyone in the circle. We hold the Cacao for a moment in mindfulness, before starting to take small sips. Chui-Yee will invite people to continue reflecting and journalling any insights or new thoughts which might come up for them.
After this, everyone is invited to share with the group what their experience of Cacao was like, but this is not obligatory – only if folks feel comfortable doing so.
At the end of the final sharing we close the ritual by inviting everyone to draw an oracle card from the centre of the circle.
About the facilitator
Chui-Yee (she/her) is a 200hr qualified yoga teacher, as well as a Queer Sex Therapist and Relationship Counsellor. She uses the yogic practices of breathwork, mindfulness and gentle movement with the aim of healing the mind-body connection through somatic awareness.
The first time she experienced the restorative power of drinking ceremonial Cacao was during the pandemic, when the world felt very unsafe for a queer person of Chinese heritage. She attended her first Cacao ceremony and discovered that drinking Cacao gave her a profound sense of inner wellbeing, especially during a very challenging time.
Further research revealed that drinking ceremonial Cacao not only offers emotional and spiritual medicine, but it also provides a variety of health benefits, due to the Cacao plant being rich in bioactive compounds.
Chui-Yee now facilitates Cacao Circles in the hope of sharing the therapeutic properties of ceremonial Cacao with the wider community.

Queer Minds Movement Sessions: Self-Defence
2026-03-16 18:00 - 20:00 UTC
Queer Minds hosts monthly movement sessions on the 3rd Monday of every month from 6-8pm, and we’re excited to be collaborating with Bender Defenders for our next three sessions – Self Defence!
You are welcome to sign up to one, two, or all three sessions:

Monday 16 March
Monday 20 April
Monday 18 May

Come and learn the basics of self-defence with Bender Defenders. What to expect:

A short briefing on the law surrounding self-defence
A warm up involving some games and exercises to raise your heart rate
You will learn some physical techniques for self-defence and have the chance to practise them
We will discuss de-escalation and practise some techniques around this
We will practice with some more physical moves!
Ending with a breathing exercise and closing circle

Please wear clothes you can comfortably move in and bring some water. If you have any access needs, health conditions or injuries, please let us know on the registration form and/or let the facilitators know before the workshop starts.
Bender Defenders ethos
Bender Defenders take a holistic view of self-defence, remembering that keeping people safe means more than avoiding danger in the moment – it means creating community systems to heal from the harm hate crime causes in the long term.
We approach self-defence from a compassionate, trauma-informed and community-led perspective. We teach participants simple, effective strategies for using physical force to keep themselves safe.
We believe that queer and trans people already have a wide range of self-defence skills to draw upon, and we encourage participants to collaborate with trainers in sharing these skills, enabling them to feel more confident and empowered when they use them.

LGBTQ+ Beginner and Intermediate Ballet Class
2026-03-18 08:00 - 09:00 (Europe/London)
LGBTQ+ friendly beginners and intermediate ballet class. A holistic practice that will improve your strength, coordination and flexibility.

This weekly ballet class is designed for members of the LGBTQ+ community who want to learn the foundations of ballet or build on existing skills in a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment.
Through a holistic approach to movement, the class helps improve strength, coordination, flexibility, and body awareness.
Participants are encouraged to explore their physical abilities and creativity through the expressive art of ballet.
No formal ballet attire is required. Simply wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. Ballet shoes are optional.
Come along to move, connect, and experience the joy of dancing in community — and perhaps discover a little more of your true essence along the way.
About the organiser
At Ballet in the Park, we believe ballet belongs to everyone. Our mission is to break down the elitist barriers that have long surrounded this art form and reimagine ballet as a space of freedom, expression, and belonging. Regardless of age, race, body type, background, or experience, every body deserves the chance to move, create, and be seen.
Through the healing and transformative power of dance, we bring communities together — nurturing confidence, creativity, and connection in spaces where people feel safe to explore their movement and identity.
Founded in South London in 2020, Ballet in the Park continues to grow as a vibrant and inclusive community where ballet is not about perfection, but about joy, expression, and the courage to show up exactly as you are.
Follow our journey and connect with us on social media @balletinthepark.

LGBTQ+ Coworking Space
2026-03-18 11:00 - 13:30 (Europe/London)
A space for LGBTQ+ freelancers, students and work-from-homers

Join us for coffee, a desk and queer business!
Every Wednesday the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre opens its space for freelancers, students and anyone that work remotely.
At 1pm we’ll have a social lunch hour so we can have an arranged time to break for lunch and have a chat. It can be tricky to fit in a proper lunch break and we are hoping this will help.
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.
This coworking space is run in partnership with Business Queers, a network of freelancers and small business operators. For more information click here.

A monthly support group for LGBTQ+ people who’ve left their religion.

Were you part of a high-control religion, have you deconstructed or been expelled? Have you lost contact with family, friends and community? Then this is the group for you.
Ade started this group to create a space for people to share their experiences of their exit from religion, the way that it has impacted their lives and to find community again.
If you are looking for people who understand what you have been through and want to meet some cool queer peeps, then come to losing my religion.
P.S. this is not an anti-religion group.
About the facilitator
Ade (he/him) is from a super religious family. He created this group for people who have left their community behind and want to find a new community.
