Single’s Weekend 2024
About the Community Share
On Saturday and Sunday morning, we will gather in groups to discuss a topic. (Topics TBA). The group leader will introduce the topic, and each member will have a few minutes to share their thoughts and feelings about it. We encourage everyone to participate, as this activity fosters bonds among participants and provides an opportunity to explore and learn about topics that may not typically be discussed in our daily lives. If you are unable to attend, please inform your group leader. Your group number and leader's name will be announced during the opening circle, along with the meeting location.

As children, most of us enjoyed drawing. It was only as we found it more difficult to get what we wanted or how we wanted a drawing to turn out that we stopped and allowed others to draw who seemed to be able to do it more easily. Using a step-by-step method by making a few sketches and using tracing paper to refine our sketches, this is a chance to create a drawing to make a final drawing with spirit, interest, and likeness. With each other as models, you will pair up to make a portrait of a partner.

Focusing on not only our physical expressions but our energetic ability to flow with and around another man.OR - Speaking of Love with Owen Andrews (Temple)
Poetry is the language people turn to for life's most intense experiences and emotions -- joy or sorrow, loss or discovery, deep contentment or misery. Often these feelings are bound up in our experience of love: joy in finding love, anguish and confusion in desiring love, hurt in losing the beloved. Every poem, too, speaks to someone. To exist, a poem has a speaker and a listener -- a lover, a friend, God, your mother, the cat, the tree under which you first kissed him. In this workshop, we will make a space together to speak of love: to find and release from our minds and bodies the words we yearn to say to those who bring love into our lives. We will build this container first with the sharing of two or three short great poems about love, followed by several brief, fun warm-up exercises for awakening words and memories and people in our hearts. Then we'll take time to get comfortable and speak -- on paper, in a quiet space -- of what we know of love. Finally, there will be time to share -- for those who wish to -- the words we've written.
