Gay Men Walking - Portugal
A 3 day multidisciplinary event for men that are interested in expanding their queer consciousness and connect on a deeper level to themselves and to the tribe they belong to. It is a place to move and play, to learn and share, to evolve both as individuals and as a community.
On each day we focus on a different aspect of our queer experience. Day 1 is dedicated to the Queer Body. We look at our body, our connection with it, its boundaries and limitations and the ways we use to express ourselves through it. On day 2 we explore the Queer Mind. We reflect on our personal narratives, thought paradigms and inhibiting patterns. We acknowledge the forces that lie within us in order to change and grow. On day 3 we focus our energy on the Queer Spirit. We connect to universal queer elements, to our special healing powers and to our collective tribe. We recognize the gifts we have to share with the world and our own unique place in it.
