Hello to all: There is a growing interest in spirituality within our community, a spirituality with greater freedoom than the homophobic religiosity many of us grew up with. Spirituality can have a multitude of forms, religious and non. The main point is this: when we connect with our deepest self, we touch something greater, and, whatever you want to call it, it leads us to love. Come join us as we explore our own connection to spirituality. This should be a very special workshop - come join us and tell your friends. And please also check out the info below about the upcoming Labor Day Retreat..it will be an amazing event!

| Your Next Brave Steps Toward Love Number 9 in a free series of e-insights from Ken Page, LCSW I'd like to share a simple story which illustrates something profound about how we look for love. After the story, I'll ask you one simple question. Your own answers will have the power to open new dimensions of intimacy for you. Here's the story: A woman was searching determinedly through her yard for something. A friend passed by and asked what she was looking for. She said that she had lost a pair of earrings with a great deal of sentimental value. Her friend asked where she saw them last, and the woman told her she'd last seen them in the living room. Her friend asked the obvious question, "Well, why aren't you looking there?" And the woman answered, "It's too dark inside, I can see better in the yard." In your dating life, what's your "living room" – the place where you know the real work lies, but which you'd prefer to avoid? Here are just some examples; trust your own gut responses to this question. - It might be inner work, such as getting help with emotional, sexual, or compulsive behaviors which hold you back.
- It might be about logistics; are you looking in non-virtual places where real people connect -- people who share your values? (those are the best places, in my opinion. Online resorces are great, but they can't take the place of real interactions with new people.)
- It might be in the people you choose; do you get serious only with people whose values inspire you? Because if you are dating anyone else, you're ultimately wasting your time.
- And finally, do you show your "soul" when you meet someone whose values you love? Do you show your passion, your tenderness, your quirkiness, your wildness, your emotional and sexual edges? (In the appropriate time frames, of course!) Or do you show an airbrushed, less original version of yourself? Do you risk showing your true self?
Take a few moments and write down your honest answers. Then talk to a friend, get feedback, and articulate, in a nitty-gritty way, how your insights translate into specific new goals. And, stay in touch with them -- let them support you and hold you accontable to your goals. Not everyone will identify with this entry. For those of you who do, here's a challenging but wonderful reality. You probably won't be able to sustain the steepness of this climb if you do it alone, without help and support. That's just how life works; we really do need each other to grow. Please comment and share your insights. Fellow readers will find meaning and direction from your own personal story. And congratulations on your bravery. The intimacy journey is not for the faint of heart! Warmly, Ken | | | | Ken Page, LCSW Ken Page, LCSW is a psychotherapist who practices in New York City.
