This free 4-week workshop series is for QTBPOC (Queer/Trans & Black/People of Colour) working in creative nightlife and club environments — including (but not limited to) DJs, promoters, performers, photographers, technicians, and other behind-the-scenes workers. The sessions will explore wellness, balance, and burnout prevention, with a focus on navigating white-dominated industries, boundaries, harm reduction, community care, sustaining ourselves long-term and unpacking the meaning and politics behind our artistic practices.

This is a supportive, reflective space rather than a skills-training course. Participation is collaborative, and everyone is encouraged to both listen and share from lived experience. Participants are encouraged to read the Exhale Community Agreement before the first session, which will be emailed in advance. This outlines shared values around respect, confidentiality, and collective care.
