EVERY FIRST FRIDAY of the month
Fluid Array Foundation's social group: S.O.D.A. League:
The Sapphine, Oblique, & Dilly Action (& Activity) League!
Bi/Pan/MGA/fluid/mspec+ discussion & support group
Fluid Array Foundation is going to start having a discussion/support group starting this Wednesday from 6pm to 7pm at the Parsons Center for Health & Wellness in the Portland Park area of Phoenix (Roosevelt & Central) for anyone who would like to attend.
This is a great way to hear other people’s perception about their sexual orientation and speak with others about your own and the joys and frustrations that come with being bi or pan or multi gender attracted or fluid or any of the labels (& unlabeled!) we use within the fluid array. And it won’t always be about being all that.
Starting next month these will take place every first Wednesday of each month. As this group grows, we hope to expand to have support groups every Wednesday for women, men, & non-binary genders, exclusively.
Please be on time, respect the location, be mindful of others, and definitely show up.
Parking is in unreserved spaces on the east side of the building or on 1st street. If you take light rail, exit at the Central & Roosevelt stop and cross east over the rainbow crosswalk. Walk north to Portland St and the building is on the north side. Entrance is on the east side.

She is passionate about working with individuals in finding their peace, healing their traumas, and learning how to identify and meet their own needs so that they can thrive. She also loves cooking, nights in with my partner, and dabbling in all kinds of art like painting, poetry, singing, playing piano, dancing, and many more!
