Latidos Latines is a social group for Spanish-speaking Latinx LGBTQIA+ folks who want to connect with others in that language, in celebration and reflection of cultural heritage as influential on identities, and in sharing information and resources for the community locally. The group meets twice monthly (online and in-person), creating a safer space for the queer Latinx community social connection in BC. As well as celebrating Holidays with good food and music, and focus on building community space by and for Latinx LGBTQIA+ people. The group welcomes Portuguese-speaking Latines, though the facilitators do not speak the language. Portuguese-speaking volunteer facilitators are welcome, too!

We are neurodivergent folks who created a unique welcoming space for those looking for something a little different. We offer mentoring and support in life skills and creative arts for all ages, with a focus on being flexible and chill and doing things at your own pace, in your own way.

Connecting through Creative Arts
We dabble in music, art, drumming, sewing, fiber arts, cooking, woodworking, and gardening. We believe in tea breaks and time to daydream in the hammock - it's all part of the creative process.

Services include drop-in groups and private sessions for individuals and small groups, with support workers and clients welcome.
