Join Proud Wellness for a 90-minute embodied experience of joy, release, and self-discovery led by two of our LGBTQIA+ wellness practitioners. This unique evening brings together creative visualisation, journaling, and a community drum circle to help you:
- Release what no longer serves you
- Reclaim your power, inner wisdom, and true voice
- Reconnect with yourself, your dreams, and your community
No drumming, journaling, or visualisation experience needed - just a willingness to show up exactly as you are. This is all about joy, connection, and expression; all of you is welcome here.
This gathering is for LGBTQIA+ people who:
- Feel disconnected, or lost, and seeking community.
- Struggle to prioritise self-care when the world feels heavy.
- Want to try drumming or visualisation in a safe, affirming space.
- Are ready to feel more confident, empowered, and joyful!
What to expect:
Creative Visualisation – journey inward to connect with your dreams and possibilities.
Guided Journaling - uncover what your heart longs to release, reclaim, and reconnect with.
Drum Circle – create your natural beat, play authentic rhythm, and feel the power of collective sound.
Community Connection – solidarity, belonging, and joy in a safer LGBTQIA+ affirming space.
You'll leave with:
- A renewed sense of self and possibility.
- Valuable insights from reflection and journaling.
- An embodied feeling of release, joy, and empowerment.
- Wellbeing skills to develop and add to your daily practice.
- Stronger connection and solidarity with LGBTQIA+ communities.
