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.

Sliding-Scale:

Free for Black PeopleTier One: 15 (2.50 per session)Tier Two: 30 (5 per session)Tier Three: 60 (10 per session)Tier Four: 60+ (pay what you can)

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
