“QUEER+” ©PT Circle Lab is an LGBTQIA+ and allies safe space where to explore art, movement, transformation, community, love & more.
It is all about celebrating who we are, collectively and individually. Diversity vs. Inclusivity.
It stands as a unique blend of different actions from experimentations, creations, theatrical exercises, art therapy techniques, dynamic meditations, emotional painting, and witchy activities.
A project that promotes encounters, exchange, and growth with the mission of creating circles of sharing, connection, and mutual help to respond to felt needs.
The lab aims to bridge the gap between the spiritual and the tangible, offering a perspective that resonates deep within the human experience and aims to achieve different and contemporary objectives:
- create content that brings different perspectives on the which is reality;
- embark on a profound journey in which everyone is free to be themselves;
- provoke the “thought” through art and personal growth techniques;
- acts on all levels of our being: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

The color and the material used are fundamental parts! Let’s paint the life…
