A focused workshop exploring mental health and sexual wellness within the LGBTQ+ community. This first session in the series creates space to discuss topics that matter—anxiety, relationships, self-care, and navigating health as your authentic self. Designed for people who want practical insights and real conversation, not judgment.

Part two of TQNC's workshop series diving into mental health and sexual wellness for LGBTQ+ folks. This 90-minute session brings together community members and experts to explore topics that matter — practical, honest, and grounded in lived experience. Wednesday evenings, 6:00 PM.

A powerful documentary screening and community conversation centered on intersex experiences. "Every Body" follows three intersex individuals reclaiming their stories after childhoods marked by shame and non-consensual medical intervention. After the film, intersex activist and medical sociologist Esther Leidolf—founder of the Jamaica Plain MRKH Organization—leads a discussion drawing on themes from the documentary and insights from their book, "Not Uncommon, Just Unheard Of." This is a chance to listen, learn, and show up for the intersex community.

TQNC's monthly sewing skillshare brings together people of all experience levels — from never-touched-a-machine to seasoned sewers — in a space that centers LGBTQIA+ voices. Bring a project (that top you've been meaning to crop, pants to hem, or an elaborate Halloween costume) or come with nothing but excitement to learn. Experienced sewing guides will be there to teach and answer questions, and TQNC provides basic machines and supplies, though you may share a machine and a sewing buddy. All skill levels, all identities, all welcome.

Free mixer bringing together local queer artists and entrepreneurs for real conversation and connection. A collaboration between StartOUT, TQNC, and Artisans Asylum — the kind of evening where you actually meet people doing interesting work in the community.
