🦋🦄 ADHD Women Lisbon ✨⚡️

🦋🦄✨ A social group for women with ADHD in Lisbon who want to meet other women whose brains run on a similar frequency.

For the oversharers, hyperfocusers, rabbit-hole researchers, passionate talkers, enthusiastic interrupters, serial hobby collectors, novelty seekers, big thinkers and dreamers — including those of us who regularly have ideas that other people think are slightly bonkers, wildly ambitious or probably impossible. 🧠⚡

We rather like those ideas.

Verbal diarrhoea welcome. 😂 Tangents are expected, stories will probably have several stories inside them, and occasionally we'll forget what we were talking about entirely. We just ask everyone to practise the best listening our excitable brains can manage — give each other space to speak, try not to talk over one another, and if you interrupt because the thought simply MUST come out RIGHT NOW… remember to hand the conversation back. 😉

🌈 The vibe
Positive, playful and uplifting.
ADHD can absolutely be challenging, but this isn't a support group, coaching group or networking event. We're here for connection, laughter, curiosity, encouragement, interesting conversations and celebrating the brilliant, passionate and occasionally chaotic brains we have.

Come as you are — whether you were diagnosed in your 20s, discovered ADHD much later in life, had the perimenopause “why has my brain suddenly stopped cooperating?!” revelation, or you're still figuring out whether ADHD explains the way your brain has always worked.

⚡ Novelty encouraged
ADHD brains often love novelty, movement, stimulation and having something to DO, so this group won't just be about sitting around talking.

We might try:
🥾 Fast-ish walks, hikes and outdoor adventures
🚲 Bike rides and other active things
🎨 Creative workshops and making things
🔨 Hands-on activities and learning new skills
🧶 Something to fiddle with or create while we chat
✨ Sensory experiences — sound baths, immersive exhibitions, Son et Lumière shows and anything beautiful, weird or stimulating
💃 Electronic music, dancing and the occasional dose of bass therapy
🌿 Nature, outdoors and anything that gets curious brains exploring
☕ And yes, sometimes we'll just sit around drinking coffee and talking absolute bollocks.
You don't need to be sporty, crafty, extroverted or into electronic music. Come to the things that light up your particular brain.

🦄 Your ridiculous ideas wanted
This is intended to be a collaborative community, not a programme of events organised by one person.

If you've discovered something fascinating, want to try a new activity, have a current hyperfixation you'd love to share, know somewhere brilliant we should explore or suddenly think “Wouldn't it be amazing if we all…?” — suggest it.

Better still, host it.

Some ideas will become meetups. Some might become projects. Some will probably disappear down a rabbit hole never to be spoken of again. 😂

That's fine too.

Most importantly, this is about finding your people — women you don't have to tone down the enthusiasm around.

And who knows what might happen when you put a bunch of passionate, creative, hyperfocused, novelty-seeking, slightly overambitious ADHD women together?

Let's find out. 🦋🦄✨🧠⚡
