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
4th January 2026:
Cosy Guided Meditation and Release Ritual with Rob
Rob (he/him) is leading a cosy community workshop that explores connection with your guiding force and intuition as we enter the new year.
What To Expect
In this workshop, you’ll be invited to consider the symbolic idea of “Spirit Guides” as a way of connecting with your inner wisdom and openness to insight – always in whatever way feels right for you. The session will start with a lovely guided meditation in order to relax and open the channels of communication - this will run in a similar format the last session he ran, if anyone attended that.
As we gather still deep in winter and at the start of a new year – a time often associated with reflection, transition, and new beginnings– we’ll take part in a simple, symbolic ritual to acknowledge and release what no longer serves us, making space for what’s to come.
You’re invited to bring a small, personal object – something symbolic of what you wish to release. Please note that this absolutely isn’t necessary and if you wish to leave it up to the universe to decide what you’re ready to release, that’s also absolutely fine.
No prior experience is needed - just curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to participate at your own comfort level.

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!
You’re invited to bring a small, personal object – something symbolic of what you wish to release.
The space provides bolsters, blankets, meditation cushions and eye pillows, but you are free to bring along any of your own equipment or soft items that could make you feel more comfortable in the space. Feel free to bring anything else that will support you in the space – snacks, journal, stim or comfort items etc.
