Guided by Sarah Keating (Professional Art Therapist) of The Tides Art Therapy, Queer Bodies are Sacred is an opportunity to celebrate queer bodies as a liberatory act of resilience and resistance. Community members of all ages are invited to our sober, accessible, and brave space to contribute to an artistic banner that EDNS will walk with in the Halifax Pride Parade on Saturday, July 18th. Following the parade, the banner will hang in our space to represent the solidarity we hold for our 2SLGBTQIA+ community members. Please note that those under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol will not be permitted to attend.

Spectrum Connect: Identity & Pride with Art

Thursday July 16, 2026 6:00pm - 8:00pm ADT

GET TICKETS HERE

Spectrum Connect: Where Two-Spirit, Trans, & Non-Binary Voices Unite Identity & Pride with Art 🌈 This month’s session will focus on exploring our identities and what Pride means to us through prompts (to get us thinking) and a guided art-based activity meant to help us visually represent our identity, gender journey, and who we truly are. This can be done through writing or a visual art medium like a drawing. We will also have lots of time and space for shared conversation and peer connection. All art materials will be provided by Healthy Minds Cooperative! Whether you’re just beginning your journey or have years of lived experience, you belong here.
