Hello my amazing Unicorn Muffins.

My name is delsi the cat and 10 years ago I made a little thing called Unicorns.

I have always loved performance art, warehouse parties, quality tunes and dance floor good times. But as a young person I never felt like these spaces were safe for me to be wholeheartedly myself.

When I came out in my early 20s I struggled to find spaces where I fit in. When entering the gays bars of Oxford St, I felt like I was taking up space where a gay man should be. And when entering the girls nights of Newtown, I felt a little too femme, a little too sexually fluid and a little too queer.

I wanted to be able to hang out with all my queer mates, in the one space, and be not only be let in the doors, but be celebrated for how wonderful we were.

So I made Unicorns.

Unicorns was born in a little warehouse, in the industrial suburb of St Peters, Sydney. I remember being surprised when 70 people showed up to the first event and I’m still in awe whenever a warehouse is filled with a sea of beautiful, diverse, queer faces. 

The aim of every Unicorns is for people to feel free to be themselves; to feel special and celebrated.

Unicorns is a place where people are free to express themselves however they choose; whether through costume, makeup, paint, sparkles, dance, movement, song or whatever else encapsulates them.

Unicorns is an environment of love, encouragement, kindness, community and celebration. And a reminder of how lucky we are to be born unapologetically queer.

We have each taken our own journey to get to this point, but regardless of that, we all have one thing in common; we are fucking fantastic.

As time has evolved, so have I, and I have continued to diversify so I can support community in as many ways as I can.

I have recently completed qualifications in Coaching as well as Celebrancy so I will now be able to support people through life as well as love!

I have also been focusing on training and consultation so I can train up more community groups and organisations to make more spaces in our world safer and more accessible for our wonderful LGBTQIA+ community.

Unicorns over the years has also grown and developed to meet the needs of our sparkly queer community. This has ranged from Fitness Groups, Social Support evenings, Healthy Relationship workshops, festivals and dating events.

Unicorns now runs art and craft workshops regularly with the awesome team at Laneway Learning. This is a wonderful space to connect, learn new skills and just have a nice but also chill time with fellow queers.

Head to the events tab to see what workshop is up next!

And if coaching or celebrancy feels like it could be of interest for you, feel free to shoot me an email to chat some more!

Thanks for the last 8 years of love, community, celebration, sparkles and dancefloor good times.

And excited for the next 8 years of new ways I can brighten up the lives of the beautiful queer people within our community.

Love & hugs,

delsi the Cat aka your queer mum

P.S Below is the first ever Unicorns - Festival. It encapsulates a lot of what I believe in - diverse artist programming showcasing super talented queer people, educational workshops exploring topics and skills that are important to us as LGBTQIA+ people, high levels of accessibility and a celebration of all that is wonderful about being sparkly queer-os. Enjoy!
