LGBT Self-Improvement Group - 11/15

About

Small group for LGBT folks (age 21-45) to talk about becoming the best versions of ourselves. Who are you in the process of Becoming? Is now a good time to make positive changes in your life? Are you in a job that isn't a good fit for you? Spending too much money on silly things on Amazon? Filling your time with distractions and then wondering where all the time has gone? Maybe you're frustrated that other people won't change.....or upset with yourself because part of you knows your frustration is actually with yourself, for not knowing how to make the changes you need in your own life? You may be at a turning point, on the edge of a better life that is waiting for you to take the leap. Now may be a good time to take a pause from Netflix, find a few books, make sense of what's going on, and take the time to reconnect with yourself and make a plan for what comes next. There aren't many LGBT-friendly spaces to talk about these serious moments in life, when we know it's time to make a change but don't know how. With my early "midlife" crisis (I'm 37), thankfully I had a few friends I could turn to and share my problems with. But honestly, my friends weren't very much help. I had to find books that had the answers to my questions. And you may find this is true for you as well. I wanted to create this group for folks who may have great friends, like I did, but still are looking to go deeper in conversation with others who are also facing the same struggle of making a big change in life. This is a group where we talk openly and honestly. This isn't therapy (I'm not a counselor). It's a self-help space to meet other folks (age 21-45) going through life change, just like you. We meet 1-3pm on 3rd Sundays at White Rhino Coffee, in the upstairs area. Bring your curious, open-minded, authentic self to connect with others and, as you feel comfortable, jump into the conversation and share more about your own life, whenever you are ready. To keep things flowing smoothly, meetings are structured. Everybody will have 5 minutes to answer the ice-breaker questions and then we transition to a more open, free-flowing conversation. We have a different topic of discussion every month. Come to just one meeting, or come each month. As Ram Das said, "It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path. Your problem is you are too busy holding on to your unworthiness. In most of our human relationships, we spend much of our time reassuring one another that our costumes of identity are on straight [or gay enough!] We're all just walking each other home."
