WINTER GAY SPIRIT CAMP
A Weekend of Communal Warmth in the Midst of Winter
Hosted
by John Stasio and Harry Faddis with Douglas Allen,
Jason Bradford,
and Michael James Gordillo
Friday, February 17 - Monday, February 20,
2012
Come out of your hibernation and join us for the first
annual Winter Gay Spirit Camp! This extension of our
popular Gay Spirit Camp will blaze warmth and creative
circulation throughout your body, mind, and spirit!
From snuggling and saunas to building snowmen and ice
skating, this retreat will enable you to shake off the
winter blues, solidify established community, and create
new friendships.
In addition to fun and creative workshops there will
be built in free time to enjoy the usual amenities Easton
offers such as hot tub, massage and daily yoga. So shake
off those winter blues and prepare your fireside stories!
Your brothers,
Doug, Michael James and Jason

 Douglas
Allen graduated from Michigan State University's
Theatre program with a B.A. in 1998. He has been engaged
with acting, The American Mime Theatre, modern dance,
and Butoh at venues such as The Joyce Soho, Jacob's Pillow,
The National Arts Club, Lincoln Center, La Mama E.T.C.
and DTW. Along with collaborating extensively with Michael
Freeman, he is a member with Ollom Movement Art, and toured
the east coast with the Jungian production of "M.U.D."
(Men Under Dirt), where he played Shiva, The Divine Masculine.
Douglas was most recently seen in "Tickets to Manhood,"
a play by James Scruggs about rites of passage in gay
men. Feral Press has published a collection of his poetry,
Weathervanes; and he has tutored and taught writing workshops
at The LBGT Center and at Easton Mountain. Douglas loves
owls and all shades of purple, and gives love and gratitude
to his partner, Roger McKeever. |

 Jason
Bradford recently left
a twenty-year career in hospitality and sales to find
more meaning and purpose in his life. His search started
with recovery in February 2010, and that path lead him
to Easton in the summer of 2011 for Easton's first recovery
camp. He stayed on to volunteer for the remainder of the
summer and fall. Community, connection and brotherhood
quickly became the most profound sources of healing. Jason
looks forward to growing as a sober, gay man and helping
others along the same path. He is co-host of the NYC Living
Soulfully group and plans to become a resident of Easton
in April 2012. His interests include yoga, dance, writing,
gardening and smiling. |

 Michael
James Gordillo, who has
been living and volunteering at Easton Mountain for
almost a year, is a native New Yorker, world traveler,
and spiritual explorer. His joyful spirit is balanced
with a wild sense of adventure. He approaches life with
a bold heart and challenges those around him to live
passionately and truthfully. Michael's expressive nature
is rooted in his spiritual practice of self-discovery
and living in community.
