Coming events at LILAC

Meditation with Jan

These friendly and informal sessions are being held on alternate Tuesdays - the next is on Tuesday 10^th December at 3pm - final for 2024.
No experience needed. The sessions will have a brief talk to start with, then learn by doing with a practical guided meditation [rather than just sitting in silence], and then a chance to discuss your experience over a cuppa. The sessions will really work their magic if you can set aside some time in the interim to practice. Resources to help you develop a meditation practice will be provided to attendees.
KOHA suggested - a donation to LILAC.

This is a unique and amazing opportunity for our members and their lesbian friends to work with Jan, an inspiring expert in mindfulness. Jan teaches professionally at other centres in Wellington and is interested in an aspect of meditation called Secular Buddhism.

Lesbians Are Everywhere exhibition by MoLA

MoLA (The Ministry of Lesbian Affairs) celebrates the broad visibility and boundless imagination of lesbians across all spaces. Through cartoons, intricate drawings, and vibrant glass paintings, this exhibition delves into themes of infrastructure and envisions lesbian cities and worlds abundant in connection, creativity, and humorous bureaucratic forms unique to an alternative lesbian society. Through dreamscapes and reimagined herstory, MOLA reshapes everyday spaces, merging humor with depth to reveal the richness of lesbian life and community. Lesbians Are Everywhere invites us to imagine a world where lesbian presence influences not only lives but entire cities and futures.
