Welcome! Book here to join NEUROMANCERS' Space Cadets Constellation!
About Space Cadets 🧠
Space Cadets is a trauma sensitive peer support group for people who experience dissociation, including plurality in its vast and varied ways. It is a place where we can explore our experiences from a non-pathological lens and be in solidarity with one another.
The group is an experimental space with an open format where we can coexist, mutually support each other from peer to peer, share experiences and discuss ways to cope with and navigate our dissociation. We will explore how our experiences can be viewed differently from what the MHIC/professionals view them to be; where can we find value, meaning and depth to the way we experience the world, and in what ways we can find grounding and rooting, on our own terms and when feels safe. Anyone who experiences dissociation in any form is welcome, as well as anyone questioning whether they experience dissociation.
We will meet on Mondays at 6.30-8pm BST for six (6) weeks. (Convert to your timezone here.)

What are Constellations?✨️
NEUROMANCERS is a community organisation and radical magazine, for and by neurodivergent people. Learn more about us here.
Constellations are our anti-carceral, sliding-scale Peer Solidarity groups. Peer Solidarity (coined by Aiyana Goodfellow) is an elevated form of peer support which combines political education with community healing. Learn more about Constellations.
How much do the Constellations cost? 💸
In line with our accessibility statements, we offer sliding-scale tickets for all Constellation sessions, with free spaces for Black people. We ask and expect middle class, financially privileged, and white people to engage in personal reparations: choose our higher tier options to redistribute your wealth. All funds go towards our Solar Survival Support (mutual aid) projects.
Each ticket gives you access to all six (6) sessions within this Constellation. These are not drop-in spaces: you must commit to most or all of the sessions.

- Free for Black People
- Tier One: £15 (£2.50 per session)
- Tier Two: £30 (£5 per session)
- Tier Three: £60 (£10 per session)
