Neurodivergent Sharing Circle: People of Color

If you are navigating life with both being a person of color and being neurodivergent—this sharing circle is for you.

Details
📅 Wednesday, 8th of April 2026
🕕 18:30 - 20:30
📍 Meeting Room in BIW*oC Rising https://maps.app.goo.gl/Y6wTvMXV4rCUkgzP8
🎟️ Free but a donation for the space is highly appreciated.

Community disclaimer: This circle is organized entirely by neurodivergent volunteers who contribute their time, energy, and resources to create this space. They deserve patience and kindness.

What happens here

• We gather. We share. We listen.
• Stimming, fidgeting, moving around, stepping out for a break, is always welcome.
• For this first event, we will try to open with a round of introductions. If you feel called to, you can share three words that represent your neurodivergence.
• There is no pressure to share if you can't think of any or would rather just pass.
• After we hear the words, we can see what themes emerge and let the conversation flow from there.
• The format of this event can be changed and discussed the further we go with this sharing circle.

This space is for you if:

• You're a person of color—Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern, mixed-race, or any marginalized racial or ethnic identity.
• You're neurodivergent—diagnosed, self-identified, questioning, or just know your brain works differently: ADHD, autistic, dyslexic, AuDHD, or any other neurotype.

Community Agreements

• This is a space to heal, not to harm.
  Experiencing racism is painful and real. That pain is welcome here.
  However, this is not a space to express sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, colorist, or any other discriminatory attitudes toward any person or group—regardless of their identity.
  We all carry wounds. But those wounds do not give us permission to wound others.
• Confidentiality: What is shared in the circle stays in the circle. This helps us build trust.
• No Fixing: This is a space for sharing experiences, not for giving unsolicited advice, diagnosing others, or trying to "fix" someone. We are here to witness and support, not to problem-solve.
• Content Warnings: If you plan to share something that involves heavy topics like trauma, self-harm, or graphic discrimination, please give a brief warning before you start (e.g., "I'd like to share something about a difficult experience..."). This allows others to gently step out or prepare themselves.
• Respect the Space: Please be mindful and respectful of the venue that hosts us.
