QTQ Rainbow Gathering

Join our rainbow facilitators for identity-affirming check-ins, creative expression, and resource sharing.

Session Overview

This replay captures a Whakatau Mai QTQ gathering where we celebrate rainbow joy, unpack challenges, and share practical supports. Expect laughter, real talk, and moments of collective grounding.

What to Expect

  • Opening mihi and pronoun round to anchor everyone in the space.
  • Body grounding with breathing, tapping, and shaking to release tension.
  • Story circle where community members share affirming memories and how they navigate tricky situations.
  • Resource swap featuring helplines, legal tips, and favourite self-care rituals.
  • Closing waiata offered as a blessing for viewers.

Suggested Setup

Watch with headphones if you are in a shared environment. Keep a journal to note resources you want to explore later. Have water and comfort items close by.

Reflection Prompts

  • When do I feel most affirmed in my identity? Who is with me?
  • What support do I want to request from my whānau, flatmates, or workplace?
