30 August 2008: Nourishing Body & Soul
A residential event organised by members of the Edward Carpenter Community of Gay Men. For more information and to download a booking form visit www.gaycommunity.org.uk
This week invites us to focus on nourishing our physical and spiritual selves. We will explore our theme through art, dance, movement, theatre and cookery and, depending on who comes on the week, hopefully other mediums too, such as massage, music and photography. We can be creative, expressive, playful, serious and, most importantly, ourselves with each other. There will also be opportunities, within a safe space, to focus on feelings we have about our bodies, how others see us, ageing and sexuality. Our aim is to satisfy our appetite for sharing and exploring aspects of ourselves that so often go unseen and, as a result, un-enjoyed by the other gay men around us.
Nobody taking part needs to be a prize winning musician, artist or chef. It is enough to want to give it a go, experience the result as fully as possible and relish the moment. Base groups will meet daily before the evening meal for an opportunity to check in with a small group of people and offer mutual support. The week will culminate in a sharing of a variety of creative moments inspired by the week's workshops, events and encounters. For up to 35 participants.
Laurieston Hall is the ideal setting for our week; surrounded by natural beauty, close to an exhilarating loch and radiating warmth of every sort.
The cost of the event is based on a sliding scale. Please see our website for more details.
We really hope you will join us.
