Cost: $10 (no-one will be turned away for lack of funds)
Open to the general public, anyone 18 and over is welcome to attend.
In this workshop, we will review the history of the gay rights movement, and how this history affects us today. We will also discuss the different types of activism in the context of the four elements. We will discuss how we can assist others in finding and using their strengths, and supporting each other through our wisdom and experience. The workshop will include a brief ceremony to reignite the fires of Activism.
At 7:30, the Brotherhood is holing a ritual, Quitus: A Celebration of the Stillness Within. This ritual is open only to gay, bisexual, and trans-gender men who love men. To learn more about this and future events, visit our website, http://temple.brotherhoodofthephoenix.org/events
