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
5th October 2025:
Spooky Autumn Origami!
We're back by popular demand for another spooky origami session! As always, this is a beginner friendly, chilled session, with no pressure on 'getting it right'. All materials will be provided, so just bring yourself. Good things come to those who fold.
Origami led by Mills (she/her), fellow Cosy Clubber, local friend and amateur paper enthusiast.
What To Expect
This gathering is an opportunity to practice origami and rest in a cosy environment with a small group of like-minded folks. There will be tea on offer but feel free to bring any snacks or nibbles. It will be an informal session throughout but we will be setting time aside for introductions and reflections for those who wish to share.
What to bring…
Dress comfortably, bring warm cosy layers that you can easily add or take off. We'll be sat picnic style on the floor, the space provides bolsters, blankets and mats, but feel free to bring anything else that will make the experience more comfortable for you – snacks, journal, stim or comfort items etc.

2.15pm | Intro to Folding
