Rest • Mindfulness • Community Care • Tea
Hello future Q’nC clubber! Welcome to our monthly LGBTQIA+ gathering where we come together to do very little. The Q’nC Club is an opportunity to slow down, to explore a different quiet practice or simply rest at the start of the month. Each meet up will include a guided rest practice or activity, time to connect with the group and a fresh cup of tea. If you have ever struggled to prioritise rest or just in need of calming yet supportive space filled with a diverse bunch of like-minded locals - then join our club!
We look forward to slowly building a more rested community with you.
OUR NEXT GATHERING
7th September 2025:
Sounds with Saz!
Looking for some decompression? Wanting a restful sunday afternoon, in a cosy queer community? Come join us for a blissful sound bath led by Sarah!
Sarah Logue (she/her) is a dedicated and passionate teacher (RYT500+), having trained in a multitude of styles & approaches alongside exploring and investigating the philosophy weaved into the practice. Sarah is passionate about integrating care, connection & community through her teaching practice. Expect some mediative prompts, a playful spirit, and a soulful love of sharing practice! Sarah comes from a background in music and performance, and adores being able to share this love through her Sound Baths. As someone who adores meditation but can struggle with it, sound baths are the perfect medium to weave together a caring and restorative space. Come and sink into deep listening.

What Is A Sound Bath?!
Good Question! In a sound bath, sound is used as a tool to hold & guide you into a deep state of rest & listening. The instruments used have a powerful vibrational quality to them, which can guide your brain waves into the same state as they enter in deep meditation (but you don't have to do anything!). We'll do a little stretch, some calming breath work & then create our little rest nests to snug into for the session (bolsters & blankets galore). Sarah will be using, a symphonic gong, crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, shruti box & chimes.
What to bring…
Bring warm cosy layers that you can easily add or take off! It can be tricky to rest when you are not comfortable - wear clothing that has textures you enjoy, and something warm to wrap up in! Our temperature drops when we rest, so it's good to make sure you stay snug!
The space provides bolsters, blankets & eye pillows, but if you have your own eye covering or blanket that you love bring it along! Feel free to bring anything else that will make the experience more comfortable for you – snacks, journal, stim or comfort items etc.
