queer spirit: queer spirit retreat
Claiming Our Power: A Gay Men's Spring Retreat
NEXT RETREAT:
September 12-14, 2008
Wind Walker Ranch ~ Spring City, UT

By accessing ceremony, storytelling, movement, and expression we create a space that facilitates friendship, (inter) connection, and improved self-esteem by the unraveling of "old stories" (belief systems that no longer serve us) that often sabotage our efforts in life. This retreat assists participants in creating "new stories" (healthier belief systems) of empowerment as gay men. Participants find the higher purpose of their lives by the sharing/processing of personal stories. We incorporate the use of group process and indigenous ceremony/ritual with the aim of honoring our path as queer men.


Queer Spirit participants, Spring 08

This process taps into the hidden mysteries of our lives, mysteries that most indigenous communities have understood for centuries. This three-day weekend retreat for gay men utilizes ceremony, celebration, and experiential group process as well as the use of ritual ceremony to facilitate increased self-esteem and healthier life choices and behaviors. Participants share, express, pursue and manifest the magic of being queer as they unravel their past and often stagnant "stories" of victims and create "new stories" around the revelation of who we are and why we exist as gay men. We seek out the beauty of who we are as gay men by stalking stories of fresh, vibrant, magical ways of being queer. REGISTRATION FOR FALL RETREAT BEGINS JULY 1
