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.

Throughout the evening, attendees will hear from Mi’kmaq and Two-Spirit guest speakers who will share stories and knowledge on topics such as Mi’kmaq regalia, Two-Spirit identities, and Indigenous history and culture. These presentations will provide meaningful opportunities for education, dialogue, and reflection while celebrating the diversity and resilience of Indigenous-Queer communities.
