Rainbow Connections

# 🌈 Rainbow Connections

Community • Belonging • Growth
(formerly LGBT Wellness Ireland)
Rainbow Connections is a community space for queer lives to meet, learn, and grow without performance.
This space is changing because the work changed. The heart hasn’t.
Come as you are. Stay as you need. Move at your own pace.

## What Happens Here

Gatherings that aren’t therapy, but can still feel supportive:
• Meditation and grounding practices
• Nature walks and outdoor meetups
• Social and creative gatherings
• Talks and workshops on queer life and experience
• Threshold Men’s Work — for men exploring identity, belonging, shame, anger, intimacy, father wounds, and transition
• Community-led spaces shaped by what’s needed, not by perfection
No pressure to be fixed.
No performance of wellness.
Just space.

## Who Each Event Is For

Events will be clearly marked so you can choose what’s right for you:

• Open / Mixed Events: all genders welcome
• Men’s Events: for self-identifying men (queer-informed and held with care)

Both strands are equally important.
Different formats for different needs.

## Where This Sits

Rainbow Connections is part of a wider ecosystem created by
James Byrne (he/him) — psychotherapist working in belonging, identity, and transition.
• Rainbow Minds — psychotherapy for LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities
https://www.rainbow-minds.com
• The Threshold Practice — identity, transitions, supervision, and Threshold Men’s Work
https://www.thethresholdpractice.com
• Rainbow Connections — community, belonging, shared experience
Different doors.
One intention.

## Looking Ahead

We are continuing with mixed community gatherings
and offering more men’s events through The Threshold Practice.
Workshops, circles, walks, talks, and reflective spaces that meet people where they are.
Clear signposting.
Choice and access, not exclusion.

## In One Line

A place to belong to yourself, with other people around you.
