On Friday, I was honoured to perform a small blessing of Dorothy’s - the first EVER dedicated LGBTQIA+ space on the Isle of Wight.
The vision and hard work of the Q***r & Now team is truly amazing and inspiring.
And it’s SO deeply powerful it is when we intentionally open a space with love, presence, and care….when we stand in circle, to honour the land and the ancestors, to speak blessings of safety, courage, belonging, joy and pride into the walls… it was profoundly moving.
May this space be a true sanctuary —
a home for chosen family,
a place of laughter, creativity and connection,
a place where no one has to shrink or hide who they are.
I’m so grateful to be asked to hold moments like this.
Thresholds matter.
Ritual and ceremony matter.
How we open spaces matters.
Blessed be this hub, and all who will pass through its doors. There’s no place like home 👠 🌈✨
