The Sensitive & Queer Village Community
A community for people like you. A space to explore, grow, and connect with other queer highly sensitive people who share similar experiences of the world.
Coming soon!
Creating a safer space together
Finding a community is so important for all of us. When we connect with others who truly understand our experiences, it reminds us that we’re never alone. These connections cheer us on, lift our creativity, and give us the boost we need to feel confident, especially when we need it most.
Now, more than ever, we need more queer spaces. Here’s why:
Safer spaces
We need safe spaces where we can fully be ourselves, without the pressure of code-switching or having to explain who we are.
Empowerment
When we build spaces where people feel truly seen and understood, they become more empowered to take meaningful action in their lives.
Learning and growth
The right community doesn’t just support us, it challenges our thinking and helps us grow in new ways.
Ready to join a new kind of village?
It’s not just about having places to gather; it’s about creating environments where we can go from surviving to thriving. We’re creating a new Sensitive and Queer Village.
A village space for Highly Sensitive LGBTQ+ and Introverts
A community for LGBTQ+ Highly Sensitive people who are ready to grow, connect, and thrive, not just survive.
This space is for queer folks who know they’re sensitive and are starting to see that as a strength, not a flaw.
You might be…
Letting go of perfectionism, people-pleasing, or old masks
Exploring what it means to live more gently, honestly, and creatively
Healing from past wounds, but no longer in crisis
Craving depth, not drama, and a community that actually feels safe
Ready to move beyond survival mode and into something meaningful
Community values
These values guide how we share, and how we hold space for ourselves and each other.
Be kind • We lead with care for ourselves and each other. Kindness is more important than being clever, loud, or right.
Honesty and openness • We show up as we are. You don’t have to perform here. Truth-telling, even when it’s messy or quiet, is always welcome.
Everyone is learning • None of us has it all figured out. We hold space for growth, questions, mistakes, and repair. You’re allowed to change.
No one is right or wrong • We’re not here to debate or prove. We practice curiosity, not correction, and respect each person’s unique experience.
Depth over drama • We value meaningful conversation and honest self-inquiry over chatter or emotional chaos. It’s safe to go deep and safe to say no.
Slowness is strength • We honour nervous systems. There’s no pressure to keep up. Rest, stillness, and silence are respected parts of our rhythm.
What’s included
This space is new, so we’re still learning how to navigate and bring lots of value to our community. We’ve got some ideas, but we would love your ideas in creating and building this space together.
We are currently creating:
Private online community access (and downloadable app).
Flexible engagement, participate at your own energy level.
Monthly virtual gatherings.
Growing resource library.
Creative corners.
Weekly wins and celebrations.
Join at the ideal stage of your journey
It’s important to say that Sensitive and Queer community is not a crisis support group or a substitute for therapy. We hold space for vulnerability, but we’re not equipped to hold acute mental health needs or ongoing emotional emergencies.
If you’re currently deep in trauma or an untreated mental health crisis, you deserve dedicated, professional care, not pressure to engage in group spaces or self-development work.
We lovingly encourage you to seek:
A trauma-informed therapist or support group
Mental health services through your local LGBTQ+ centre or GP
A slower pace, where your nervous system can begin to feel safe again
Then, when you’re ready, feel free to join us. Not because you’re fixed, but because you’ve started to anchor into your own process.
“Community is the place where we find strength, acceptance, and belonging as we are.”

FAQs
-
Absolutely not, the idea of the community is to create a space that works for everyone. As highly sensitive people our energy is important to balance and we do not want to make a space that feels exhausting.
We want to facilitate a space that allows LGBTQ+ HSPs to feel seen and heard so we do recommend that you join and participate in the space, but to the degree is up to you.
-
At the moment there are not lots of resources in the community because we are so new!
But we do anticipate creating free resources for members each month - this might look like a workbook, course or workshop, or anything else that the community suggests.
-
No.
This is not a replacement for any mental health services. Whilst we try to offer a safer space for LGBTQ+ HSPs to find support, connection and empower themselves. This is a learning community providing an online space to explore, share and learn from one another.
-
Whilst we’d love to create a free space, there are costs that come with facilitating it including technology, admin and support. We’ll be keeping the initial price to a minimum so it isn’t too much of a barrier to join - around $15
