A Special Loom in June

The Loom in partnership with The Jawbone Collective and Bridport Arts Centre presents...

Being Different

An evening celebrating the voices and experiences of women and gender diverse people of Bridport and surrounds

Monday 16th June 7pm - 9pm Bridport Arts Centre

🌟 Join us for a powerful evening of storytelling that amplifies and celebrates the unique experiences, perspectives, and journeys of women and gender-diverse individuals in our community.

At The Loom, we're creating a supportive space where diverse voices will share their personal stories of resilience, self-acceptance, and living bravely and boldly. These stories illuminate the varied paths we take in embracing our true selves and finding our place in the world.

The evening will feature:
• Personal stories of self-acceptance and transformation
• Narratives of breaking barriers and defying expectations
• Experiences of joy and celebration in difference
• Supportive space for connection and dialogue

This is more than just a storytelling event - it's a celebration of identity, an affirmation of existence, and a testament to the power of sharing our personal lived experiences. Come be part of this transformative evening where every story adds a unique thread to our collective tapestry

Kind words for Linda an attendee of The Loom 

I was so deeply moved, listening to the women last night who shared their stories; so lit up and inspired, that l couldn’t get to sleep!
I was reflecting on the transformative power of their words!! They were vulnerable, courageous, humorous, wonderfully-crafted and truly authentic!
It wasn’t just the voices of those who shared their stories ; it was the warmth & supportiveness of the listening in the room! A gathering of women holding a warm receptive space for the ones who spoke. They were celebrating them, encouraging them, nurturing their voices as they listened.
