Bookbinding

Queer hub, Notweg 38, Amsterdam

Writing and creating can be very therapeutic tools for deepening your relationship with yourself. In the Queer community, we all struggle growing up in heteronormative conditioning and we all come to terms with this in our own way. This group is an invitation to process together, learn from each other and explore this theme anchoring in the craft of bookbinding and writing.

In the first session we will learn to make our own notebooks. While we create, we will share and reflect on our relationships with writing as it relates to Queerness. At the end of the first session, we will co-create reflection prompts for the group to take home (with our new notebooks!).

The second follow-up session will be for sharing/integrating that experience of journaling together and setting any intentions for the future.

About the host: This workshop is held by Lina, an experienced therapist and a creative at heart. She has experienced firsthand and with clients the power of creative work in processing, and is so excited to bring this knowledge into a communal experience.

This is not therapy. It’s a community space to feel and reflect together. The intention here is to support each other and explore together while learning a new craft. You don’t need to know anything about bookbinding and all materials will be provided. Just bring yourself and your imagination!

📅 6th and 13th of June
⏰ 14:00 - 16:30
📍 QueerHub; Notweg 38, 1068LL Amsterdam
🎫 Participation for both sessions is €10*. Sign-up link in bio!
*Language*: English (you don’t have to be perfect, we will figure out it together!)
