I know I'm probably preaching to the choir here.... but maybe you know someone who would be interested. Please pass it along if you do!
Embracing Queer Spirit
A Book Club for Spiritual Growth
Have you ever felt that being homosexual, bisexual, or transsexual is a good thing rather than an abomination?
Have you ever thought that you exist the way you are for a reason rather than as an abnormality?
Have you ever considered that being gay, bi, lesbian, or trans might be a gift rather than a burden?
Chances are you haven't because these ideas aren't modeled for us. What if you could explore these ideas for yourself in a safe and supportive environment?
This book club is a gateway to embracing yourself as a queer being. We do this by exploring the writings of those who've journeyed ahead of us. Our vision is that each of us in the group move toward a greater understanding and acceptance of ourselves as queer beings. We hold a sacred space where personal sharing and deep listening are practiced. The goal for each of us is to move closer to being able to say YES to the questions above.
This book club is just like every other book club in that we read books. We differ in the way that we work with the material. Each week we bring more than our thoughts, we bring our experience of how the books are affecting us, changing us, and challenging us. We are asked to go deeper into the material. What made our hearts joyful and what made our hearts ache?
We will meet twice a month on the first and third Monday evenings. We begin on March 3rd and we will meet at the First Unitarian Church of San Jose.
Space is limited in this small group so please contact me to reserve your space or if you have questions.
Warmest Wishes,
Hayden Reynolds, MA
