SUMMARY:Queerspora: Gender and Pronouns for Queer Newcomers
DESCRIPTION:Moving to a new city in a new country can be exciting but also challenging—especially when it comes to finding community and navigating language around gender and identity. This session is a space for queer newcomers in Ottawa to come together\, share experiences\, and talk about the role of gender and pronouns in our lives. \n\n\n\nWe’ll explore how pronouns are used across different cultures\, why they matter for respect and inclusion\, and how we can support one another in everyday conversations. Whether you’re new to these discussions or already confident\, this is a chance to learn\, connect\, and grow with others in a supportive environment. \n\n\n\nSpots are limited\, so please RSVP through the form below:

SUMMARY:K1 en français - les substances et la communauté queer
DESCRIPTION:Soyons honnêtes — les substances (alcool\, cannabis\, poppers\, party drugs\, etc.) font partie des réalités de nos communautés queer. Parfois\, c’est pour célébrer\, connecter\, explorer; parfois\, c’est pour gérer le stress\, l’anxiété ou la solitude. Mais au fond\, ce qui compte\, c’est de pouvoir en parler ouvertement\, sans tabous ni jugements. \n\n\n\nRejoins-nous pour une discussion de pairs sincère\, joyeuse et sans filtres où on va explorer : \n\n\n\n\nPourquoi certaines substances sont plus présentes dans nos communautés 🌈\n\n\n\nLes liens entre plaisir\, santé mentale et consommation 💭\n\n\n\nComment trouver un équilibre\, prendre soin de soi et soutenir nos ami·e·s 💞\n\n\n\n\nQue tu consommes\, que tu sois sobre\, curieux·se\, ou que tu veuilles juste écouter — ta voix compte. C’est un espace pour échanger\, réfléchir\, et se soutenir ensemble.

SUMMARY:K1 en français
DESCRIPTION:Il est si facile de se perdre dans nos inquiétudes au sujet de l’image corporelle et de notre vie sexuelle. On nous dit de ne pas nous comparer aux autres\, mais il reste souvent difficile d’avoir accès à de l’information sur ce qui est « normal » et sur la façon de prendre soin de soi.  \n\n\n\nCe mois-ci\, joignez-vous à nous pour une nouvelle session de K1 : une discussion bienveillante sur l’image corporelle et l’estime de soi\, ainsi que sur les façons de mieux nous soutenir au quotidien et dans nos moments les plus intimes.
