    I could not agree more! I feel much less alone and am sleeping better, too.

    I'm right there with you guys. I found this forum the day I came out to the first person, and it has been a tremendous help. People here are so generous with their advice and life stories. It really does help to know you're not alone.

    The forum has been helpful to me, very much at certain times, but I feel right now thati need to be with people in In the flesh. I, trying to circulate more, and I have some mixed success starting with new groups, gay married men's group, gay fathers group, gay opera club (doesn't meet until September) , gay men of wisdom ( discussions group). I'm also in a gay men's psychotherapy group. So I'm trying to move ahead, I'm looking for friends, a circle of friends who I can connect w ith. Not interested n romance yet,

    On yea, thinking about the gay bridge club too. And, I want to volunteer time helping young people wh on are coming out, So EC is good but it can't be my subsitute for action, it can give me the courage to act.

    and found it to be a positive experience. Just thought I would let you know of it.
    Best,

    Hello Men!

    Our next offering of Celebrating the Body Erotic is coming up on July 13-14! If you know someone who could benefit from the beautiful work that goes on during this workshop, please forward this message along! Or if you want to renew your connection to your eros or to your community, come join us!


    July 13-14, 2013 - New York City
    Celebrating the Body Erotic
    with Steve Schwartzberg

    Celebrating the Body Erotic is a full two-day (one evening and two days at residential locations), often clothes-off workshop (9am-7pm) for those who are ready to vigorously explore new levels of feeling, both within themselves and within a community of men.




    In addition, there will be some amazing intensives coming this summer:

    July 15-21, 2013 - Easton Mountain
    Dear Love of Comrades
    with Collin Brown & William McMeniman

    Dear Love of Comrades begins where Celebrating the Body Erotic leaves off and introduces graduates of CBE to Body Electric’s advanced work. The result is a deeper self-awareness and greater emotional clarity through the healing power of tribal eroticism. Come experience the freedom and safety to explore your hearts desire and to establish lasting friendships within the global community of sacred brothers.

    More info on Dear Love of Comrades can be found here.


    July 22-28, 2013 - Easton Mountain

    Erotic Temple
    with Steve Schwartzberg & William McMeniman
    Join us as we delve further into the mysteries, delights, and life-affirming power of sacred Eros. Erotic Temple combines communal erotic celebrations with rituals, tribal energy, meditative self-pleasure, full-bodied stimulation, erotic touch and creative holistic worship, along with journaling, camaraderie, play, and immersion in nature’s beauty. Look to deepen the connections of heart, Eros, psyche, and soul already forged. Amid a fellowship of open-hearted comrades, this is a great opportunity to learn more about the innate wisdom of the erotic body, and the human yearning for spiritual transcendence.

    More info on Erotic Temple can be found here.


    We hope you're enjoying your summer!

    I know people who have done it, and watched the video on the site for Body Electric, sounds amazing.
