CWÎR Creative Community 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌟 We’re so excited to be launching CWÎR: Creative Community! This is a new event series led by Lone Worlds in collaboration with Creative Cardiff, which aims to offer LGBTQIA+ creatives a queer-led, safe and welcoming space to connect, share, and collaborate. The project is funded by Arts Council of Wales. Each event will spotlight a speaker from the LGBTQIA+ community who specialises in a different area of the industry. They’ll lead practical, hands-on workshops designed to share knowledge, nurture creativity, and encourage collaborations. Our hope is that CWÎR will help build meaningful professional and personal connections across Cardiff region’s creative sector - increasing visibility and creating opportunities for queer-led, grassroots, non-profit, and community-driven initiatives within the creative industries.

🔥 Fire element workshop 🔥 tomorrow Thursday 7th May 6.30-8.30pm at @chapterartscentre Spaces still available! DM @_garddio if you’re interested 🌀The fire element manifests as spirit, energy and community. 🌀 It is passionate, warming and the foundation for societies across the world. 🌀 It is potentially dangerous, and needs a balanced approach to maintain care. Too much control will smother, and too little will allow it to grow wildly or extinguish. 🌀 The fire element can reflect so much of our lives - relationships, burnout, creativity. 🌀 We will explore how embodying these themes feels like in our minds and bodies.

Yesterdays water workshop was playful and centring - like light water bubbles alongside a deep current 🌊 Next week we’ll be exploring the fire element. Looking at energy, burnout and collective care

In today’s workshop we’ll be exploring the water element 🌊 The water element manifests itself as a flowing state - both as gentle relieving rain, and turbulent stormy seas. Our bodies are around 60% fluids - and water joins our emotional and physical world through tears. It can manifest as continuous movement, stagnation, weightlessness, and submersion. We will explore how embodying these themes feels like in our minds and bodies.
