Nottingham Queer Spirit Full Moon Drum Circle
Saturday April 12th @ 6:30 pm
📝 Next Date: Seed Moon Drum Circle – Saturday 12th April with times to be confirmed.
📍Where: Sumac Centre, 245 Gladstone St, New Basford, Nottingham NG7 6HX
🧚 Who: Dreamers, wanderers, witches, healers, hippies, queerdos, artists, seekers, activists, neurodivergents, nature lovers, and the curious—anyone drawn to the magic of rhythm and connection.
🪘 What: We begin with an hour of drumming, dancing, and energy-raising—let the rhythms move you however feels right. Then we shift into a calm, sensory space for setting intentions, sharing ritual, and connecting. It’s loose, informal, and open to co-creation. Picture incense in the air, maybe a snack or tea in hand, and a space where you’re free to simply be.
❓ Why: Sometimes queer spaces feel too rigid, or spiritual spaces feel too heteronormative. This is a space where all of you is welcome. Come as you are—wild, curious, quiet, or loud. It’s for all the queer spirits of Nottingham and the East Midlands looking to meet, network, and build something beautiful together.
✨ How: This circle is something we create together. We hire the space and drums with our own funds, we suggest £5 donation to help keep it running, but No One is Turned Away for Lack of Funds.
If you are able to, bring your own drum.
🔮Woo:
As the earth softens and life stirs beneath the soil, the 🪱 Worm Moon 🪱 (named for the earthworms that reawaken, aerating the land) rises —the time when our ancestors prepared the land, mended tools, and looked ahead to the turning season. For hunter-gatherers, it marked the return of abundance; for farmers, the promise of harvests to come. Now, we gather as queer spirits, wanderers, and seekers to honour this shift—not just in the land, but in ourselves. Like the roots below, we emerge, reconnect, and nourish what’s growing within us. Join us under the Worm Moon to drum, move, and share in the quiet magic of the season. 🌿✨
