Our 2012 programme of events will be published shortly.

From the edge to your centre: opening your heart and soul in a safe community.

We hold retreat-style events for gay/bi men to grow spiritually and emotionally. As gay/bi men, we know the wounds we suffer through our difference. Our path to personal and spiritual growth – to wholeness – leads through learning to open our Heart. At Gay Spirit events you will find ways to do just that.  In a safely-held community of other men you will encounter emotional depth as you explore the edge of your familiar boundaries.

Our programme of retreats has recently been featured in the Good Retreat Guide.
