Our weekends are like nothing you have experienced. We focus on crafting the lives- social, intimate, sexual, communal, voluntary, ethical - we want to enjoy with each other.

Through individual and collective experience we help gay men reflect on, experience, and practice values of care and nurture in new ways.

"This work seems so simple, but incredibly profound.

I haven't felt such a sense of optimism

for us in a very long time." - Edward

Over two days, we chart and create the more nurturing affectionate gay world we want to live in, to learn and practice more sustaining patterns with each other.

"It's been a while since I felt a real connection to any kind of gay community. It's great to be regaining that connection. Your presentation broadened and deepened my own thoughts and feeling about the issues of ownership, responsibility, creativity, strength, and hope within the gay community. This movement is radical and daring and yet truly in line with our history as a unique group of people.' Jed

We'll do in-depth exploration in large and small groups, individual reflection and collective public action.

We cover topics like:

• Manifest Love: An Inquiry Toward a More Loving Gay Male world
• Reconnecting to our hopes for each other
• Our gay fantasies: Asking for what we really want, creating our vision
  
• Ouches, gifts, and burning demons -- how we treat each other
  
• Requiem for a Bitchy Queen
  
• Languaging our Loves
  
• How we learned to be queer men: sexual mentorship
  
• Bliss Seeking and how we Dance with Each Other
• Our code of ethics with each other
  
• Beyond Cruising: Using Your Eyes in Whole New Ways to get what you really want
  
• Loving Disturbances -- new ways to be with and for each other
  

Weekends bring together 20-30 men together over two days. Afterwards, join the local team to carry our values beyond the weekend into our daily shared lives. With other guys of like spirit you can do "loving disturbances" - fun, public, collective actions.

They are our way of helping nudge the patterns and practices of gay world into more humane directions. Plus you meet men in new ways, and having fun doing it.
