A WEEKEND AT CAROL LYNN’S

AN INVITATION FOR GAY MEN

(Or for Families Dealing with the Issue)

Recently, as my son John was giving me my evening backrub, we were talking about some of the good things that are happening regarding better understanding toward our gay brothers and sisters.  Suddenly he said, “Mom, I would love for our home to become even more of a center for gay people to come and feel supported and healed.”

As I went to sleep, his statement blended into a question I’ve been asked–“Carol Lynn, you have retreats for women.  Why don’t you have any for gay men?”  By the time I woke up I had an idea I’m going to try out–

A WEEKEND AT CAROL LYNN’S--INVITATION FOR GAY MEN

John and I and Chance (the only dog I have ever truly loved) have guest beds for four in our home here in Walnut Creek, forty minutes from San Francisco.  I have looked at my calendar and chosen three weekends.  For the affordable rate of $325 each, I will create for four gay men an experience that includes– bed, breakfast, lunch and anything we decide to do that is virtuous, lovely, of good report and praiseworthy, such as–

            *personal storytelling and encouragement

            *deep discussion of the mysteries–God, religion, spirituality

            *hikes in my nearby hills

            *reading of my poems  

            *reading of “Facing East”

            *discussion of one of my favorite subjects: the magic and meaning of coincidence

            *a field trip to Trevor Southey’s home and art studio, if he’s available

            *a great caricature drawn by my artist son John

            *fun and laughter and just hanging out
