Gay people can be understood to possess a sublime creative potential that with special care may develop in striking ways, professionally, relationally, spiritually. This weekly depth group approaches the gay psyche as having fearsome as well as uplifting divine aspects that can be integrated into a novel sense of wholeness not otherwise attainable through standard therapies. Focus on becoming more gay-centered, feeling-oriented, transpersonally-minded, and appreciative of LGBT mystical traditions through dynamic interpersonal interaction and a shared transformative effort to reclaim deeply-sourced homophobic childhood hurts as the eternally hopeful "child within" who needs our loving care.
