What we’re about
Happy Post Mardi Gras week!
We are back… and we have exciting news!
We hope that from Fair Day to the Parade, you had a great Mardi Gras season. Your calls from all over have been heard and we are (finally) starting our weekly meditations again.
So we are happy to announce our first meditation for 2022 is with Peter Hoare on Monday 14 March. We will be in the same venue at the same time as usual. For those who don’t remember, that’s 6.30pm at the Darlinghurst Community Center, 277 Bourke Street.
Not only excited to pick up our weekly practice and provide a safe space to relax and wind down, we are thrilled to announce that the group will also have a new face for this new era. Being conscious that language evolves and that there is a need of more inclusivity and openness in our community, our committee members have come up with a new name: Queer Meditation & Social (Sydney).
We recognise and honour that the word “queer” has been used in the past as a derogatory term and holds memories for some people. Although alike with many LGBTQIA+ community organisations, our aim is to reclaim the word “queer” and as both empowering and uniting of the multiple complex identities within the community. We use the word here as an inclusive term and a shortcut to stating LGBTQIA+ lettering.
This new name reflects well what our group is about. On the one hand meditation for all (queer) people under the rainbow umbrella, on the other hand we are also known for our social mission of bringing people together for meaningful social interactions after meditation practice.
Lastly, we feel extremely grateful for the help and support all of you have provided throughout all the years. To keep variation in guests guiding our meditations, we are continuously looking for new people. Reach out to our committee members if you know someone that would be interested or if you yourself want to guide the group.
See you on 14 March!

See all- Peter Hoare - Meditation and Mindfulness to stay present and centredDarlinghurst Community Space, Darlinghurst
Peter helps people reconnect with themselves. He does this gently, honestly, and with heart.
Through intuitive consultations, counselling, and spiritual mentoring, Peter supports clients to move through stuckness, find clarity, and live with more presence and flow.
With over 20 years of experience in energy work and intuitive insight, Peter brings both grounded tools and deep listening to each session. He teaches simple, powerful practices including meditation, mindfulness, and ritual in order to help people stay present, centred, and open to change.
Peter works with clients in Potts Point, Thirroul, and online. He supports people navigating life transitions, grief, anxiety, and those who feel called to explore their inner world more deeply.
He’s also a Body Electric facilitator, offering workshops for men who want to build a more accepting and meaningful relationship with themselves and others.
In March 2026, Peter will co-facilitate Beyond Grief, a retreat in Bali offering space to honour loss and open to life again.
Curious about developing your own intuitive or spiritual connection? Peter’s next online class starts soon.

Peter has led several meditations in the past, and they are always very relaxing, thought-provoking and enlightening.
We look forward to seeing you there.
