Welcome! Book here to join NEUROMANCERS' Radical Addicts Constellation!
About Radical Addicts 🧠
This is a peer led, trauma informed space for neurodivergent people who identify with experiences of addiction and want to explore their relationship with drugs through community discussion which is rooted in harm reduction principles in a non judgmental space.
In this group we acknowledge the many nuances within drug use, addiction, and recovery and hold space for a multitude of experiences. This group emphasises Harm Reduction Principles and therefore does not require one to be abstinent from drug use in order to attend. This is a peer led space meaning that we all have lived experience which we utilise to create community and educate one another.
Note: This space is inappropriate for who need crisis, acute, or long term care.
We will meet on Thursdays at 7-9pm BST for six (6) weeks. (Convert to your timezone here.)
- Thursday 15th August - Why We Use Drugs: Neurodivergence & Drug Use
- Thursday 22nd August - The History of Harm Reduction
- Thursday 29th August - Harm Reduction Saves Lives: Gaining Skills & Tools
- Thursday 5th September - Exploring the Gentrification of Drug Use
- Thursday 12th September - The De-stigmatization of Drug Use
- Thursday 19th September - What Is A Radical Addict?
Radical Addicts is led by facilitators with ‘lived-experience’ of addiction. Within all online sessions, captions, use of the chat, and optional mic/camera will be available. Furthermore, you can join our Discord server to connect between and beyond sessions. Please contact us with questions.

What are Constellations?✨️
NEUROMANCERS is a community organisation and radical magazine, for and by neurodivergent people. Learn more about us here.
Constellations are our anti-carceral, sliding-scale Peer Solidarity groups. Peer Solidarity (coined by Aiyana Goodfellow) is an elevated form of peer support which combines political education with community healing. Learn more about Constellations.
How much do the Constellations cost? 💸
In line with our accessibility statements, we offer sliding-scale tickets for all Constellation sessions, with free spaces for Black people. We ask and expect middle class, financially privileged, and white people to engage in personal reparations: choose our higher tier options to redistribute your wealth. All funds go towards our Solar Survival Support (mutual aid) projects.
Each ticket gives you access to all six (6) sessions within this Constellation. These are not drop-in spaces: you must commit to most or all of the sessions.
Sliding-Scale:
- Free for Black People
- Tier One: £15 (£2.50 per session)
- Tier Two: £30 (£5 per session)
- Tier Three: £60 (£10 per session)
- Tier Four: £60+ (pay what you can)
Payment Plans & Discounts:
The payment plan feature is available until a week before the Constellation sessions begin. If booking at Tier Two and above, you can secure your place with a 25% deposit, and pay the rest up-to three (3) days before the first session of your Constellation.
Spaces will fill quickly and each tier is limited, so book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment!
