NOURISHING GAYS

Nourishing Gays brings together a group of LGBTQ+ adults for an experience of reflecting, connecting, and sharing. Combining a workshop and meal hosted in a personal and intimate setting, the event introduces participants to a new kind of gay community where LGBTQ+ people open up and support one another for the sake of greater flourishing.

WHY NOURISHING GAYS?

Nourishing Gays aims to make personal growth and development a "thing" in queer culture.

  • For the past 5 years, I've been creating programs designed for LGBTQ+ adults to be together in new ways that help us gain new self-awareness and self-possession

  • Through these experiences and my own journey, I have come to see how we get in the way of our own prospects for flourishing

  • Nourishing Gays brings to life the learning I’ve put into my forthcoming book, Queer Flourishing
