๐ŸŒ™โœจ Letโ€™s meet in a quiet circle to read, listen and feel together. This evening is for poems, lyrics, queer voices & self-expression. ๐Ÿ“๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŒˆ

Youโ€™re invited to bring one thing that feels right to you:

๐Ÿ’Œ A queer poem
๐Ÿ“– A poem you love
โœ๏ธ A poem you wrote
๐ŸŽต A song lyric or quote that lives in your heart
๐Ÿ’ซ Or anything that feels poetic to you

If youโ€™re shy, no worries, someone else can read it for you. ๐Ÿซ– No pressure to speak. Just being here is enough. ๐ŸŒธ

๐ŸŒŸ After the poetry circle, weโ€™ll play a few songs brought by the group, sing or speak the lyrics out loud, like a little living room concert of feelings. ๐ŸŽค๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ

Optional cozy things to bring:
๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ a candle
๐Ÿงฃ a blanket or scarf
๐Ÿ’– yourself, exactly as you are

Thereโ€™s a theme, but no expectations. ๐ŸŒฟ
You can read, listen, journal, sip tea, share a song or simply be. ๐ŸŒˆ This is a soft space for whatever you need.
