LEFT Weekend - 8th -10th April 2011

The Lesbians Exploring Faith Together (LEFT) group are now taking bookings for our weekend away on Friday 8th- Sunday 10th April 2011 at Holland House in Cropthorne, Pershore, Worcestershire http://www.hollandhouse.org/index.html

A booking form is available at http://left101.weebly.com/events.html
The weekend is a great opportunity to meet with other lesbian or bi-sexual women in a safe space to explore aspects of our spiritual lives, relax, have fun, and meet old and new friends in a supportive environment.

Arrivals are from 5 p.m. on Friday evening with time to have a look around, find your room, have a cuppa and chat with others. Dinner at 7 p.m.

After dinner there is an introductory session to meet the other guests and this will be led by the LEFT planning group.

Saturday will have two morning workshops, free time in the afternoon with the option of a walk, and an early evening session before dinner. These will be led by Sharon Ferguson who is chief executive of the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement, a Minister of a Metropolitian community Church congregation in London, and an excellent facilitator.

There will be opportuntites to listen to some input, and have thinking time, time to discuss, create and respond thoroughout the weekend.

The theme is likely to be around 'new beginnings' and this should be confirmed very soon.

Have a look on the LGCM website - as there are video clips of some of Sharon's media appearances. http://www.lgcm.org.uk/

There will be a party in the evening and we invite those who would like to join in the entertainment to play a musical instrument, sing a song, read a poem, tell a joke, do a magic trick. take part in a sketch - or whatever.

On Sunday there will be a session to plan a liturgy together and this will be co-ordinated by the LEFT planning group.
