QUEER SELF-CARE MARKET / RESOURCE FAIR — MIDDLETOWN, CT

Join us for an afternoon of queer community, self-care, creativity, affirming resources, local businesses, and connection at Revive Art & Craft Supply in Middletown.

The event brings together LGBTQ+ organizations, community businesses, affirming professionals, artists, and vendors to create a cozy space centered around queer care and community.

SPECIAL GUEST: SHAPESHIFTERS

Shapeshifters is a queer-owned and queer-focused small business from southern Vermont that has been creating handmade chest binders for more than a decade.

Their focus is making binders colorful, joyful, size-inclusive, and designed to help people find something that fits both their body and their expression.

Participating organizations and businesses are sponsoring Shapeshifters chest binders that will be raffled off FREE to members of the community during the event. Additional raffles, giveaways, or special offerings may also be available.

RAY LIFE COACHING WILL BE THERE

RAY Life Coaching will be tabling throughout the day, bringing our teachings, tools, and resources into another LGBTQ+ community space.

Stop by Ray's table to say hello, ask questions, explore resources, and learn more about coming out as your authentic self, polyamory and CNM, relationships, attachment, consent, boundaries, communication, confidence, upcoming workshops, and local community gatherings.

This is an opportunity to connect with RAY Life Coaching outside of a formal workshop or coaching session—whether you're already part of the community, have been curious about something Ray teaches, or are discovering RAY Life Coaching for the first time.

WHO ELSE WILL BE THERE?

The current guest list includes Q+, RAY Life Coaching, Bosomii, Angela LaMark LCSW, and special guest Shapeshifters, with additional participating organizations, businesses, artists, and resources expected to be announced.
