Love Your Labels invites you to be Queer AF in Denim at our Art+Fashion Show this September. 
Denim is more than just a fabric. It is a record of labor, resistance, reinvention, and style. This textile’s history begins with exploitation and enslaved labor. Rugged and transcendent, the garment became a symbol of resistance, solidarity with the working class, and youthful rebellion. From patchwork to embellishments, from indigo to acid wash, this textile embodies our uniqueness and authenticity. 

Join us at the Queer Met Gala of Massachusetts and let your imagination and creativity drive — we encourage you to take a well-loved, worn-in pair of jeans to the sewing machine for an evolution. What is your story, and how can you weave it into one of the world’s most beloved fabrics?
Queer AF 2026 will be a multitude of textures. Designers will imagine new tales to tell with this storied fabric, and shades of blue will pop on the runway. 
Join us on Friday, Sept. 18, at Mechanics Hall in Worcester — during the Big Queer Worcester Weekend — as we celebrate queer fashion, art, community, and joy.

9D Breathwork is Coming to Auburn Starting 10/1/26

Take a Breath With Dawn - 9D Breathwork

Wellness After Dark For Many Different Ways to Help You Heal Every Thursday Night At The Pachaug Center, Auburn, MA More Than Breathwork. An Experience for Your Mind, Body &amp; Soul. Imagine putting on a pair of headphones, closing your eyes, leaving the outside world behind and giving yourself permission to simply breathe. 9D Breathwork is an immersive breathwork experience that combines intentional breathing techniques with a carefully designed soundscape delivered through headphones. Depending on the journey, the experience may incorporate guided coaching, visualization, hypnotic-style suggestions, binaural audio and other sound-based techniques designed to create a deeply immersive environment for self-exploration and reflection. But you don't need to understand all of the technology to experience it. You simply need to show up and breathe. Each journey is different. Some are designed around themes such as letting go, stress and anxiety, self-worth, reconnecting with yourself, emotional release or deep relaxation. And every person's experience is uniquely their own. You may feel emotional. You may feel peaceful. You may gain a new perspective. You may laugh, cry, reflect—or simply enjoy giving yourself permission to disconnect from everything else for a little while. There is no "right" way to experience a journey. At Take a Breath, my role is to create a welcoming and supportive environment, guide you through the experience, and give you the space to discover what your own journey has to offer. You Don't Have to Be "Good" at Breathwork. You don't need experience. You don't need to know how to meditate. You don't need to be flexible, spiritual or have everything figured out. You just need to be willing to take the first breath. Come as you are. Put on the headphones. Close your eyes. And Take a Breath. I Also Offer Private Appointments for You, Your Business or Anyone in Need in MA, CT and RI. 9D Breathwork is a wellness practice and is not a substitute for medical care, mental health treatment, diagnosis or therapy.
