BQC Queer Women’s group is a BQC Affinity Group that meets on the third Saturday of each month. Hosted by Laura Rainey and Lyn Faith.

Observations. Experiences. Dreams.

We can share the discipline of writing on a regular basis with no rules. Happy to have company as we work. Our time together is a short hello and update. Then 90 minutes of concentrated focus on writing. Then a deep breath and a thought about what happened while writing, as we leave.

Let’s build a robust group of Queer Writers sharing energy to understand how we exist.

BQC Sacred Misfits: Spirituality on the Margins is a peer-led group for anyone interested in exploring spiritual practices outside of dominant religious frameworks.

All genders, paths, and vibes welcome. No specific beliefs or experience required—just openness and respect.
