SUMMARY:A Retreat for GBTQ Christian Men — Easton Mountain
DESCRIPTION:A Retreat for GBTQ Christian Men\nFor many of us who grew up in Christian communities, discovering our sexuality was not easy. The messages we received from churches, families, and schools often created confusion, conflict, shame.\nFor many gay men, especially those from earlier generations, reconciling faith and sexuality became a long and difficult journey.\nOver time, things have begun to change. Some younger people who identify as queer have found more welcoming and affirming Christian communities. Still, the process of integrating faith, identity, and community remains deeply personal and sometimes challenging.\nThis retreat invites gay and queer Christian men to gather in a multi-generational community for reflection, connection and celebration. Together we will explore our spiritual journeys, share stories, and create space for prayer, liturgy, conversation and meaningful connection.\nThe experience of gay and queer Christian men varies widely from one community to another. The journey of a gay Catholic differs from that of an Episcopalian, or Southern Baptist. This retreat welcomes people from many Christian backgrounds as we create space to share and reflect on those experiences.\nJust like our other retreats, this experience will include the gifts of this beautiful land and the rhythms of life on the mountain. Participants can enjoy time outdoors on the trails and in the surrounding woods, shared meals around the table, engaging workshops and conversations, opportunities to sing and dance, time in the sauna, gatherings in the temple, and the laughter and celebration that unfold over a weekend together at Easton Mountain.\n\nA Sample Day…\n\nWe're currently building the full schedule for Come to the Mountain.
