A little bit more about us 💫

All of our events are fundraising towards this big dream, while supporting and paying Creative Wellbeing freelancers NOW ✨

Our focus is on centering marginalised identity people,

🌞 Wxmen, of course includeing Trans Women 🏳️‍⚧️
🌞 Global Majority people
🌞 LGBTQIA+ people
🌞 Disabled and Neurodivergent people (including Agoraphobic people)
🌞 Asylum seekers
🌞 Working class people

This space is for YOU 🌿🌸🌈🤍

While we currently have our first 3 initial Trustees, enabling us to apply to become an official CIO (Community Interest Company) ✨ we always have space for people who really would like to bring themselves to this project.

This includes Volunteer positions and Trustee positions! If this is you, please DM us with some information about yourself and why you’d like to co-create this beautiful & much needed space with us 🥰

We are finally able to announce our new & wonderful home for our Tuesday evening Yoga& Tarot reset!

@communecafebristol ✨✨

One Castlepark Tower Hill, 63 Tower Hill, Bristol, BS2 0JA (full address & its right next to Castle Park!)

💜💜💜💜

If you haven’t been to our space before and you’re wondering what to expect, we learn about the current Moon phase, along with the astrology & what that might bring for us

We do 1 hr Yoga Asana (movement + poses), 5 mins journalling & 15 mins reading our Tarot to support us this week 💫

We end in a closing share circle, as with everything in our space, this is optional & an invitation 🥰
It’s our teacher’s (@lifewith.esmee ) favourite part of the session, seeing the similarities for people in what is moving through them 🌀💗🪷

Please bring a Yoga mat if possible as we only have 2 spare, a blanket or towel to work on is also welcome 🌚🌝

See you there! Tickets in our bio 🧡🤎🤍

To all women, LGBTQIA+ peeps, People of Colour, Disabled folk, Neurodivergent folk, working-class people, mentally ill, elderly people & asylum seekers;

Connection & Co is for YOU 💫

We are looking to meet people who can help us shape this space to cater for Marginalised identity people as much as possible.

We feel we excel in Queer 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 inclusivity, but we need a little help with ensuring this space is inclusive for the people who need it most.

Please let us know if this is you 🥰

Thankyou so much for joining us for our Libra New Moon Ceremony 🥹💗✨

What powerful shifts we went through! We absolutely love the consistency for some of our community members who show up so frequently with us to work with the ever-changing Moon energy, and create their lives with art, visualisations, movement & creation!

We were SO HAPPY to facilitate mediation, guided visualisation, Tarot reading & collage poetry/vision boards 💜

Until next time 🥰

Love Rosa & Esmée 🧡

This scrummy, yummy event is coming to you soon!

Time for you to get silly & crafty, feeling into and finding your dreams in paper scraps and old magazines ✨

We are going to craft this magick onto vision boards for us to take home, carrying our inner hopes into reality 💜

Autumn is the perfect time for this workshop
🌀 Coming inward, yet still with community
🍁 Samhain/Halloween, the end of a cycle, the time for new beginnings
🤍 The veil between this world and the invisible is at its thinnest, let your intuition and visions guide you into creating a life that your heart most desires 💗

Let's craft it together 🥰
