Full Moon Circle

Wednesday evenings at Hive Mind belong to writers who want to actually write. No workshops, no critiques, no readings — just dedicated time in a cozy bookstore surrounded by people who get it. Bring a project, a blank page, or just the intention to show up. Coffee and community included.

A low-key Thursday morning for queer and trans writers who actually want to get work done. Bring your laptop, settle in with a coffee, and write alongside people who get it. No pressure, no performance — just a quiet corner of Hive Mind where you can make real progress on whatever you're working on.

Six episodes of a bold new LGBTQIA+ dystopian series come to life through a live script reading with the official cast. It's a chance to experience the world of cataclysm.begins before it hits the screen—hear the dialogue, feel the tension, and support the project's development. A fundraiser that doubles as an early look at something genuinely different.

Hive Mind Books & Coffee Shop is bringing its curated collection of queer and trans literature directly to Brooklyn Pride. Browse new, used, and discounted titles celebrating LGBTQ+ voices while connecting with the community at one of the city's most vibrant Pride celebrations. A pop-up bookstore for readers who want their Pride to come with pages.

Sterling Bowen, a writer and astrologer woven into the Hive Mind community, hosts these new and full moon circles—a blend of open discussion, reflection, meditation, and intentional magic-making. No particular spiritual tradition required; folks of all backgrounds and beliefs are genuinely welcome here. Gather with moon-loving queer folks in a space that honors both the celestial and the personal.

Brooklyn Pride marks three decades with a skate night that's part celebration, part community tradition. Lace up and join the neighborhood for an evening that captures what Pride is really about — showing up, being yourself, and doing it together. The perfect way to kick off Pride season.
