🌱 are you curious about the natural world: herbs, wildlife, plants & fungi? are you appreciating the outdoors & fresh air like never before? are you craving low-stakes, cosy, communal spaces to heal together? misery has got you <3

🌈 come through & join us for a sober, QTIBPOC nature gathering. this is a safe(r) space exclusively for queer, trans, intersex and non-binary, black people and people of colour . please note that attendees must be both BPOC and LGBQTI+. if you are one or the other, this event is not for you.

🍵 we will be meditating, learning about seasonal herbs, communing with the natural world and art-making outdoors together! come to one, come to them all, we will be here & ready to learn & explore with you :-)

🛌🏽 ACCESS

😷 whilst we do not mandate mask-wearing, we encourage folks to COVID test (provided at the event) and mask if they are able to. we ask folk to cancel their ticket, if they become unwell, have flu symptoms or any other contagious illness. this is to protect our disabled/chronically ill facilitators and vulnerable members of our community <3

♿️ the site is technically wheelchair accessible, but has wood-chipped paths which can become uneven and a ramp to the compost toilet. we therefore ask if you are a wheelchair user to please notify info@bethnalgreennaturereserve.org in advance so that the site can prepare for your arrival. we make sure that there are options for seating: chairs with back support, fabrics on the floor to lie down, benches and stools.

📧 if you have a question or need, specifically relating to access, please email gayathiri@miseryparty.org. if you need to bring your support worker, please let us know. if your support worker is not BPOC, please email and we’ll figure out a work-around <3
