This is a safe space for those struggling, questioning, stumbling, climbing, finding their way through the spectrum of sexuality, gender identity and everything around these themes. Those who attend our session find a sense of belonging, hard laughter (where we laugh at the hard stuff in life) and tools they can use in their own time ♥

This space is a ‘queer-only’ space specific for curious humans.

We noticed a growing need for a queer-only space—one that could specifically support individuals in the early stages of exploring their queer identity (but not just people in their early stages). Many participants expressed the need for a community where they could share, process, and find support without the added layer of explaining their queerness to those outside the experience.

Queering The Meh-trix was born from that understanding—a space where queer individuals could connect, reflect, question, and navigate their journeys with shared experiences at the center, and with an understanding of the social structures we are a part of and navigate every day. This is not just a discussion space; it’s a space for belonging, affirmation, and care—one where queer folks can show up as themselves, for themselves, and for each other.

1. Providing a safe space in itself can be healing.

2. Listening to others share can increase a sense of belonging and make you feel like you’re not the only one going through something.

3. Having access to engaging tools and using them right there, provides people with the strength that they can deal with it on their own.

4. The weightlessness felt after sharing is so special. We do not force a person to share, most of the time they come into the session saying I don’t think I’ll share too much and as early as 15 minutes in they’re being totally honest and vulnerable.

This is our approach. To provide people with the space and tools to just be together in the most kind, non-judgemental and compassionate way.

Queering The Meh-trix is a safe brave space for sharing experiences, building connections between stories and lived experiences, and exploring the spectrum of sexuality, gender identity and everything around these themes.

• Diagnosis: We are not equipped to diagnose mental health conditions or provide clinical assessments.
• Immediate Crisis Support: We cannot address ongoing crises or emergencies. If you or someone you know is in immediate need of help, please contact a licensed professional, crisis hotline or a medical centre.
• Group Therapy: This is not a therapy group, it is therapeutic as it offers peer support and a shared space for self-reflection and self-expression

Our sessions are 2 hours and 30 minutes long and are structured to create a safe, open, and reflective space for everyone.

Here’s what a typical session looks like:

• Check-In – We begin with a short check-in where each person shares how they are feeling as they enter the space. This helps us acknowledge where we are emotionally and set the tone for the session.
• Invitations for a Safe & Brave Space – We revisit the principles that guide our space, ensuring it remains one of mutual respect, honesty, and care.
• Illustrations as Starting Points – We introduce illustrations that serve as catalysts for sharing. These are carefully chosen from a collaboration with a Queer Project to help ease into conversations.
• Thematic Sharing & Discussion – As participants share their thoughts and experiences, common themes emerge. We allow the discussion to naturally unfold, creating space for reflection, support, and insight.
• Bio Break (5 Minutes) – We take a short break for rest and reset.
• Continuation of Discussions, Stories & Questions – After the break, we continue exploring thoughts, stories, and questions that arise. This segment is flexible and shaped by the group’s needs in that session.
• Grounding & Check-Out – We close with grounding exercises and a final check-out,

Each session is designed to be a balance of openness, structure, and care, allowing participants to engage in meaningful conversation while also feeling held in a supportive environment.

Respectful Communication – We listen fully and do not cut people off. We don’t talk down to anyone or dominate conversations.

Sharing, Not Prescribing – When offering what has helped us, we share our experience as a story rather than as advice or a “fix.”

Names & Pronouns – We call each other by first names and respect each person’s pronouns. There is space to change names, try out new names and pronouns.

Confidentiality – What is shared in the space stays in the space.

Space for Mistakes – We are all learning and unlearning. This space allows for growth, including making mistakes and taking accountability when needed.

These are some of the that values help us build a space where people can show up as they are, feel seen, and connect with others in a meaningful way.

1. Feeling heard.

2. Feeling validated.

3. Feeling respected.

4. Lighter.

5. Sense of belonging.

6. Know they always have a safe brave space
