Creativity, motivation and self-esteem - how do we as gay men keep ourselves inspired and moving forward in life? How can we balance discipline and delight, planning and play?

This week will be for up to 35 men who identify as gay. We will seek to dare, to dream and to do, using the unique community that we create on the week as inspiration and a springboard for fulfilling our potential. The intention is that we will look at where we have come from in our life stories and, through workshops and simply the experience of being together, re-evaluate what changes we might make to enable our lives to be more fulfilled. Expressing ourselves, whether through art, music, the voice, the body, or our technical and intellectual skills, we'll work towards a shared group 'event' involving performance, multi-media and whatever participants bring in terms of their own talents and interests.

We hope the relationships we form on the week will extend into our lives beyond to give long-term support & inspiration in pursuing our heart’s desires.

There is no guarantee that this week will change your life for the better, but that is what we hope for.

Granted, it might sound like an ambitious ‘heavy’ week, but we intend to have lots of fun, relaxation & play.

Payment for the week is on the ECC scale of charges.

Organisers & facilitators for the week are: David Addy, Alan Jones, Jonathan Shaw, Jon Stein.

NB: This event has now taken place but there may be places left on the remaining events this year. Our programme for 2008 will be published around January / February and advance notice with brief details and dates will usually be in the December issue of our journal 'Over the Rainbow' which you can get by joining our mailing list.
