A Bear Identity Workshop
with Jack Bethke, MSW
Since the late 1980s the Bear subculture has emerged from obscure party nights and a few publications to a bona fide cultural phenomenon, and now includes multiple generations of gay men who are as diverse as the gay community itself.
But what does the term Bear mean today? More importantly, how do we fit as individuals within the larger community?
This eight-week conversation will address and question various issues from a mutual aid perspective, such as: identity, body image, sex, attraction, community and career.
As a group we’ll explore trends, wellness issues, increase self-esteem, build confidence and forge stronger relationships as members of this dynamic community.
Please join us - all are welcome - bears, non-bears, cubs, chasers, admirers, etc.
Tuesday Evenings
October 12 – December 1, 2009
$25 per session (x8)
In order to ensure comfort and intimacy, space is limited and a full 8-week commitment is necessary.
