Say hello to your Sip & Paint facilitator - Hash @Sofftpunk !
Artist, workshop facilitator and community organiser Hash (they/he) has spent the past 6 years exploring the intersection between art, community and political action. When they’re not creating political and queer art accessories for their brand Sofftpunk or hosting engaging art workshops and events at Aconchego and other venues, they’re organising social good projects and community fundraisers.
Their philosophy sees engaging with art and reclaiming our creativity as just one vital step in reimagining a better future for all marginalised people, and their workshops aim to create a welcoming and inspiring space for each person to reconnect with their creative selves.

Queer Mindfulness Meetup | Group Discussion + Practice
We meet at 11:00 every other Sunday for a guided mindfulness practice and group discussion, which focuses on a different mindfulness topic each meeting.
Our meetings are a safe and inclusive space for queer individuals of all skill levels to explore mindfulness together. Whether you're brand new to mindfulness or a seasoned practitioner, you'll find a warm community here where you can learn, share, and grow.
At our meetups, we delve into the whys and hows of mindfulness, discussing its benefits and practical applications for everyday life. Through guided meditation sessions and open group discussions, we aim to equip each other with the tools and insights to lead more mindful and fulfilling lives.
We have plenty of chairs, but please bring a yoga mat or meditation cushion if you prefer to sit on the floor.
There is no charge for this meetup, but donations are appreciated to help us keep the community center open.
