Quintimacy Parallel Play session - June 2026
Queer, introverted Parallel Play session!
Quintimacy's Parallel Play session is a place to read for an hour, or lots of other options of enjoyable and 'flow' activities.
- colouring
- drawing
- painting
- journalling
- writing
- jigsaws
- crafts
- knitting and textiles
- meditation and breathing
We agreed it was not the place for cooking, DIY, gaming, large scale art projects or anything that creates a lot of movement on the screen, and it is not a place for high energy 'productivity' work even with your video off. It remains quiet and gentle in energy, a time for introverted parallel play but with company.
Invitation
I am inviting you to gather on Zoom on three Sunday evenings in June 2026;
- Say what you will read/do/be (5-10 min)
- Read/do/be quietly, muted (1 hour)
- Stay and share (20 min - optional)
Sharing about what we are reading/doing is a wonderful way of engaging in ideas (without having to read every single book or do every activity!), and yet another way of cultivating intimate moments of connection with other queer and trans people.
(We ask for confidentiality around people's attendance and sharing, because sometimes we might be reflecting in personal ways about what we are reading/doing).
Here are the dates
Sundays 7th, 21st and 28th June 2026 - 7-8:30pm UK time
What will I read/do?
There is NO REQUIREMENT to read between sessions at all or prepare for the session.
Everyone could be doing a different activity (with your clothes on!)
Or you can choose to do something relaxing and that might create psychological flow for you.
Cost
You can commit to your new queer parallel play ritual for at least 3 sessions and the cost will be £15 for the month (£5 per session or more if you can afford it and feel to support the work of Quintimacy). Or you can pay one evening at a time.
What to do now!
Buy your ticket for either one session or the whole month, and you will receive an email with the zoom link.
I look forward to parallel play with you!
Beck Thom (they/them)
