Suffering from addiction can feel deeply isolating, lonely, and hopeless. Seeking help is often difficult, and many conventional approaches tend to pathologize and shame, which only deepens the sense of isolation and makes recovery even harder.
We are constantly told to "do it all on our own" in a world that values individuality over real connection. We are pushed further apart—when what we truly need is compassion, connection, and understanding. Healing doesn’t come from being labeled or shamed—it comes from feeling seen, heard, and supported as a whole person, not just your struggles.
Queer Addiction Circle is a space of connection, where we will mindfully approach our experiences with addiction in from a non-pathologizing perspective, cultivating more curiosity and compassion for our inner world. Addiction is automatic and compulsive. With mindfulness and self-awareness we can set the tone for the change we want in our lives.
This is a space where you can just be—no pressure, no performance. A place to be witnessed, to be held, and to show up as your full self. All of you is welcome here.
This gathering is not limited to any one form of addiction. All experiences are welcome — whether related to substances, porn, social media, love, or other compulsive patterns.
What to expect:
Discussion on addiction from an un-shaming perspective.
Grounding practice; can be gentle meditation, somatic practice or journaling.
Sharing space: opportunity to share your experience and be a witness for others.
Important!
This is no substitute for therapy, nor is this meant for people in crisis.

About your host
Hi, I’m Nadine (they/them). I’m a Berlin-based Integrative Coach and Facilitator, deeply passionate about helping people de-pathologize their inner worlds and (re-)connect with their authenticity. My work centers on cultivating radical compassion and curiosity, guiding individuals out of survival mode and into spaces of genuine connection and growth.
As a neurodivergent and highly sensitive person who has faced PTSD, domestic abuse, and addiction, I’ve experienced firsthand the power of breaking taboos and transforming shame into strength. I blend vulnerability, humor, and a playful approach to tackle difficult topics, creating a supportive space for deep emotional engagement and transformative growth.
