OUT Spirituality Group - Making Connection, London
13 April 2010: OUT Spirituality Group - Making Connection
How do we, as gay / bi men, make contact one with another? Many of us seek connection through the gay scene, but often the contact we find there is unsatisfactory. How can we meet, and be met, from a deeper place?

The Out Spirituality Group is a friendly meeting of like-minded gay and bisexual people who have an interest in spirituality. We look at a variety of topics and issues, with the aim of enabling people to broaden their knowledge and experience of spiritual matters (whatever that means for each of us).
There are opportunities to discuss our journey thus far, where we are at, and where our journey may be taking us.
Too often in society, bisexual men are under-represented or even shunned - by both gay and straight people. The OUT Spirituality Group is a safe place for bisexual men to explore the issues of life without fear of ridicule or derision.
Come along and be refreshed, invigorated and maybe discover different ways of thinking about things. The venue has an ambience of prayer and spirituality – at this location people have sought for centuries to encounter a power greater than themselves. There is something unquantifiably special about the complex of buildings that is St James's: it is a safe place for all who do not fit the usual stereotypes; here there is no pressure to conform. Hence we can soak up some of the accumulated spiritual energy of the years and possibly add in some small way to the spirituality that is here.
Whilst the prime focus is on spirituality, by participating in the evening we have an opportunity to build friendships and to network – and to form connections that will have a positive effect on our lives and potentially in ways that we cannot yet envisage. It is more than meetings!!
We have a pseudo-event dedicated to the friendship and networking side of things - see quickfind:318866
The meeting starts with a light buffet at 6.30pm, the charge for which is £3. This is a great way to unwind and to meet and greet new friends and old.
Our fortnightly meetings on Tuesday evenings are advertised on the ‘Events' section of OUT, and also on our website: http://tinyurl.com/osgevents
Nothing is ever set in stone, so please do let us know your views on the group in general, meetings that you have attended, and the sort of topics that you would like us to cover. The best way of doing that is to complete the feedback form on our website. Or send a message via OUT to the event organiser.
