💛 Rainbow Connection Update 💛

Thank you to everyone who has joined and supported Rainbow Connection so far—it’s been such a privilege to create this space with you all! 🌈

After reviewing how to best support our community, we’ve decided to move Rainbow Connection online rather than continuing in person. This will make the group more accessible and sustainable while keeping the same safe, creative, and supportive vibe you’ve come to love.

🎨✨ Same discussions. Same creativity. Same incredible neurodivergent community—just from the comfort of your own space.

We’d love to hear if you’d like to join us online! Comment below, DM me, or send an email to [email protected] to register your interest.

🌈 Connection matters. Let’s keep this going- together

✨ This Saturday’s ADHD/AuDHD Appreciation Art Jam ✨
Theme 3: Work, Capitalism & Burnout

Being neurodivergent in a world designed for neurotypical productivity can be exhausting. Many of us push ourselves to fit into systems that drain our energy and demand constant masking. This week we’re opening up a candid discussion about:

🌱 The expectations to "fit in" at work and how that impacts our wellbeing
⚡ Recognising burnout and learning to recover
🎨 Finding balance through self-care, creativity, and following our special interests
💡 Imagining work and lifestyles that actually fit our brains—without forcing ourselves into boxes

Through discussion and art-making, we’ll explore new ways of thinking about work, energy, and identity—because your value is not measured by productivity.

A few spots left for our AuDHD appreciation art jam and Peer support group!

This week at Rainbow Connections...
Join us for a powerful creative session themed "The Diagnosis Rollercoaster" — a space to unpack the emotional journey of late diagnosis.

From the relief of finally understanding your brain, to the grief of realising what could have been... from rage at the system, to the rebuilding of a new identity that truly fits — we’ll explore the many twists and turns through art, discussion, and connection.

Whether you feel like you're just hopping on the ride or still dizzy from the loop-de-loops — you’re not alone. Come reflect, connect, and create with your fellow neurospicy crew. 🎨🧠⚡

📍 Saturday 1–3PM at Elixir Bar
🎟️ Book now at squigglylife.com.au
