April 11 @ 6:00 pm - May 16 @ 7:30 pm BST

Welcome! Book here to join NEUROMANCERS’ Neuroqueers Constellation! 

 

About Neuroqueers 🧠

Neuroqueers is a Constellation for queer neurodivergents (14+) to be gay, build community and do *alleged* crime…by crime we mean anti-colonial, anti-patriarchal gender expression, radical explorations of sexuality, and care-filled community building. The things that the state does not encourage or want us to do. Madness and neurodivergency has always been connected to queerness through shared criminalisation and pathologisation. We are grounded in an anti-colonial understanding of queerness and neurodivergency and/or Madness.

We will meet on Thursdays at 6-7.30pm UTC for six (6) weeks. (Convert to your timezone here.)

  1. 11th April Neuroqueers 201 (intro)
  2. 18th April – Queer History Show ‘n’ Tell (any person/event that aligns with the spirit of the constellation)
  3. 25th April – Anti-Colonial understandings of Queerness
  4. 2nd May – Stitch ‘n’ Bitch (Craft ‘n’ Laugh)
  5. 9th May – Part 1: Queering the family/community: Relationship anarchy
  6. 16th May – Part 2: Queering the family

Neuroqueers is led by facilitators with ‘lived-experience’ of being LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent. Within all online sessions, captions, use of the chat, and optional mic/camera will be available. Furthermore, you can join our Discord server to connect between and beyond sessions. Please contact us with questions.

What are Constellations?✨️

NEUROMANCERS is a community organisation and radical magazine, for and by neurodivergent people. Learn more about us here

Constellations are our anti-carceral, sliding-scale Peer Solidarity groups. Peer Solidarity (coined by Aiyana Goodfellow) is an elevated form of peer support which combines political education with community healing. Learn more about Constellations.

 

How much do the Constellations cost? 💸

In line with our accessibility statements, we offer sliding-scale tickets for all Constellation sessions, with free spaces for Black people. We ask and expect middle class, financially privileged, and white people to engage in personal reparations: choose our higher tier options to redistribute your wealth. All funds go towards our Solar Survival Support (mutual aid) projects. 

Each ticket gives you access to all six (6) sessions within this Constellation. These are not drop-in spaces: you must commit to most or all of the sessions.

Sliding-Scale: 

  • Free for Black People
  • Tier One: £15 (£2.50 per session)
  • Tier Two: £30 (£5 per session)
  • Tier Three: £60 (£10 per session)
  • Tier Four: £60+ (pay what you can)

Payment Plans & Discounts:

The payment plan feature is available until a week before the Constellation sessions begin. If booking at Tier Two and above, you can secure your place with a 25% deposit, and pay the rest up-to three (3) days before the first session of your Constellation. 

Spaces will fill quickly and each tier is limited, so book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment!
