CREATE A JOB YOU'LL LOVE:
Men's Right Livelihood Workshop
12/2, Saturday, 4:00-10:30 pm

Because men are trained to define themselves by their work, having the wrong job or no job at all can be a major source of stress. In this practical, fun, and affirming workshop you’ll join a group of men who support one another in figuring out:

1) PASSIONS: What are your interests & passions? If you’re depressed or have no idea, what were your passions/interests when you were a kid or young adult?
2) WHO? what kinds of people you most enjoy working for and with?
3) WHAT NEEDS? what kinds of needs/challenges you most enjoy helping
address?
4) WHAT ORGANIZATIONS? what kinds of organizations/businesses you might
enjoy working for or with?
5) WHAT SKILLS? what your skills, experience, & special knowledges are?
6) WHAT ROLES? what roles do you most enjoy playing in work (creator, manager, data collector/analyzer, or supporter)
7) ALLIES? who your allies are for setting up informational interviews with?
potential employers or investors/partners?
8) NEXT STEPS? how you can get on-going support for taking concrete action
towards your right livelihood vision?

TEAMWORK: Finding your great job takes teamwork. Come join a group of men who are serious about finding a great job and want to help one another get started on and sustain effective action. We will use journaling, story-telling, brainstorming, and action-planning to help you create a job you'll love. Out of this workshop you'll also be invited to join an on-going support group to sustain your efforts to create a job you’ll love.

DIVERSITY: This workshop is for adult men of all ages, sizes, shapes, colors, orientations, experience levels, and backgrounds (including trans guys). Thanks for helping us increase the diversity of men who get invited by forwarding this invitation to friends & colleagues who may be interested.

CO-SPONSORS: MenSpirit, a joint project of two non-profit organizations, Q-LAND & LoveTribe, empowers diverse men in the Portland, OR area to discover and manifest their individual & collective potential for wellness, community, friendship/intimacy, spirituality, & play.

This Sat, 11/4 Men Finding Wisdom thru Story-telling

2006-10-30T00:02:19Z

Could you forward this to men who have lived interesting stories or who
understand the power of story-telling to help them draw on the wisdom of men of all ages?

MEN’S INTERGENERATIONAL STORY-TELLING
Saturday, 11/4, 4:00-10:30 pm

* Imagine being able to learn from the wisdom of men of all ages.

* Imagine who you could be if men of all ages helped you tell & understand your story, and you helped them tell their’s.

* Imagine story-telling as a tool for transformation & initiation.

For most of human history story-telling has been a crucial part of men’s initiation and empowerment. Nowadays story-telling has been mostly reduced to mere entertainment -- a mass-produced product to be consumed. This has cut men off from the wisdom of the lived past, present, and future – from actually knowing other men’s stories.

In this playful, creative event you’ll tell key parts of your life story to a small group of men of different ages, and they will retell your story in spoken word poetry, short skits, psycho-drama sculptures, paintings/drawings, and other creative techniques.

Our goal is for you to tell the story of your life to men of different ages, and for you to help retell the stories of other men – in ways that reflect you and the wisdom of the inter-generational group you’re apart of. Ultimately this is about friendship, play, creativity, and initiation through story-telling.

DIVERSITY: We welcome men of all ages, sizes, shapes, colors, orientations, story-telling abilities, and life backgrounds (including trans guys). Diversity on all levels helps us learn the many ways we can be men. Could you please help us invite diverse men by forwarding this invitation to any of your friends, colleagues, or acquaintances who might be interested, and by attending with them?

9/9 Men’s Dating Lab: Practical Intimacy Strategies

2006-08-31T23:17:48Z

MEN’S DATING LAB:
Finding Practical Intimacy Strategies
* Workshop: Sat, 9/9, 6:30-l0:30 pm
* On-going Group: lst & 3rd Thurs (begins 9/2l), 7-9 pm

Many men long for more emotionally and physically
intimate relationships, but --

* They’re too busy;
* They’ve been burned;
* They don’t know what they want;
* They’ve tried everything;
* They think they’re too old, shy, ugly, blah, blah . . .

Well love is worth it. Intimacy makes you happier and live longer & better. And you’re capable and desirable enough. You just need a little help figuring out what you want and what you can do – in the real world – to get it.

In this fun, practical workshop you’ll explore with other men:

• What kinds of intimacies you want;
• Your intimacy challenges;
• Your intimacy strengths & skills;
• Practical experiments to try in the work-shop & in your life for dating & intimacy
• Asking for concrete support to help you implement what you’ve learned & sustain learning after the workshop

This workshop is not about experts telling us the answers. It is about us supporting one another to find the intimacy visions and strategies that work for each of us. And most of all it’s about figuring out what you can do differently in the real world to get more of the intimacy you want – and get the support to follow through.

If you can’t attend the workshop, you could check out our on-going Dating Lab Support Group that will meet on the lst & 3rd Thursdays each month, 7-9 pm, starting on 9/2l.

CO-FACILITATORS: Alejandro Cantu, 5l, has been a teacher of multi-cultural students for more than 20 years, was in a long-term relationship and is now returning to dating; Wayne Bund, 25, is a teacher of multi-cultural students, has been in several relationships, and has recently moved back to Portland as a single man; Bart Church, 46, has been in several primary relationships, but has viewed his close friendship network as his primary source of intimacy for most of his adult life & believes in valuing friendship networks.

CO-SPONSORS: MenSpirit is a joint project of two non-profit organizations, Q-LAND & LoveTribe, that empowers diverse men in the Portland, OR area to discover and manifest their individual & collective potential for wellness, community, friendship/intimacy, spirituality, & play.

Our wellness can't wait

2006-06-30T01:10:37Z

On the occasion of the death of Eric Rofes, one of the founders of the gay men’s health movement and one of the visionaries who inspired me, it seems important to acknowledge that the health care system in Portland is tragically failing most men, especially queer men. Even the shrinking number of men who have health insurance receive virtually no wellness support from their insurance, and often receive very little beyond wildly escalating premiums. As a lifelong wellness organizer, I’m sure Eric would say, “Stop crying and start organizing!

Below is an essay on the need for, and practical strategies for establishing, a Men’s Wellness Network in the Portland metro area. With our health care system in a state of collapse, it is high time we did something practical and simple to support one another’s wellness. Please read the brief essay below and consider how you can become involved with creating a vital network intended to nurture our collective and individual wellness.

WE WILL NEED:

1) Volunteers to help create a Men’s Wellness Network – see list below.
2) To get the word out. Please forward this e-mail to every man in your community, and consider bringing it up in conversation.
3) Immediate donations of $50-$100 to help us establish a powerful, secure online database that will support the creation of a Men’s Wellness Network. We need to raise $2000 by mid July and we have already raised $1300 in the last week. (Please send your tax-deductible donation to Q-LAND/CIC; 3026 SE 39th Ave; Portland, OR 97202).

VOLUNTEER POSITIONS NEEDED . . .

* WELLNESS COACHES: help men define and manifest their specific wellness visions, understand and overcome wellness challenges, recognize and marshal their wellness resources, and gain confidence and self esteem through vision-driven service to other men in the network.

* MEMBERSHIP TEAM MEMBERS: help invite men to give time and/or money to join the network and keep track of what they need and what they give.

* WEB DATABASE DEVELOPER: create a web-based database that facilitates men joining the network and securely records their visions, needs, challenges, resources, and contributions of time, money, and knowledge, and facilitates men sharing information within mutual support groups designed to meet their specific needs, contribute their resources, and reach their goals.

* DEVELOPMENT TEAM MEMBERS: help raise seed money to launch the Network’s coaching, support groups, and other systems.

Please contact Paul Fukui at volunteer@qland.org or 503-223-8822 if you want more information about these positions. The essay below will tell you why your contribution and these volunteer positions may be critical to your wellness and the wellness of countless other men in our community.

WHY WE NEED A MEN’S WELLNESS NETWORK and
WHAT WE CAN DO TO CREATE IT HERE and NOW . . .

Portland has one of the highest percentages of men who either don’t have health insurance or are grossly under-insured. Because of sexism, homophobia, huge unemployment, massive cuts in public and private health insurance services and coverage, skyrocketing healthcare costs, the failure of health education, and the failure of our political and corporate leadership to prioritize healthcare, more and more men, especially queer men, are contracting and not being adequately treated for HIV, STDs, heart disease, prostate and other cancers, drug/alcohol/sex addictions, depression, anxiety, diabetes, suicidal thoughts/behaviors, and stress-related chronic illnesses like back/neck pain, excess weight, acid reflux and other digestive disorders, etc. It is no accident that men die on average five years younger than women in this state. We have allowed the health care and health education systems to ignore and abandon us.

WE CAN SOLVE OUR PROBLEM: On the occasion of Eric’s death, it seems imperative to say that men CAN and MUST create, and in fact ARE creating, an alternative wellness system that provides highly tailored services to all kinds of men based on our needs for mind/body/spirit wellness and an ethic of mutual support, rather than an ethic of greed and scarcity. We must create a system that learns about and engages each man’s specific wellness visions, challenges, and resources. And most importantly this system must not abandon men when they suffer wellness or financial set backs. It must be there no matter what.

As a record number of us grow older, we cannot afford to wait for the government or health insurance companies to fix the health care system. We now have one of the worst health care systems in the developed world. With costs increasing exponentially while government and the business sector continue to cut budgets, almost everyone is predicting the current system will either continue to get worse -- or collapse entirely.

This fall Q-LAND will be launching a new Men’s Wellness Coaching program that will train men to support one another to:
1) Clarify your individual wellness visions,
2) Overcome and/or manage your specific wellness challenges, and
3) Effectively recognize and utilize your wellness resources.

This coaching program will also help men with similar visions and challenges to create highly tailored mutual support groups such as a weight loss group, a diabetes support group, a dating lab for men whose loneliness is harming them, a right livelihood group for men whose lack of meaningful employment is making them sick, etc.

The coaching program and the mutual support groups, like all other Q-LAND programs, will be open to men regardless of their ability to pay. We expect all men in the wellness network to be of service to other men in the network in ways that match their abilities, skills, and resources. Again, no one will be turned away for lack of funds or because of pre-existing conditions.

We will serve one another from an ethic of abundance and mutual support. While this sounds like pie-in-the-sky, such a wellness network is based on the traditional bartering and mutual support systems used by rural, indigenous, and traditional societies all over the world throughout human history. Bartering and mutual support for health care is a much older, more reliable, and more traditionally successful system than health insurance (which is why the current health insurance system in the U.S. is in a state of collapse). Until universal healthcare somehow miraculously arrives from on high, a Men’s Wellness Network is something concrete and immediately useful we can experiment with in the Portland men’s community. We can learn from one another, and we can help one another.

In the coming years your health will increasingly depend on the quality of the network of people who will support your wellness no matter what. Money will not be enough. Even wealthy people are finding themselves bankrupt overnight by the ways our state and nation fails to deal with health insurance and catastrophic illness. Traditional health insurance and the bloated health care industry it is propping up are increasingly becoming a mirage that gives no one wellness. It is time to invest in a network of men, here and now, who can and will support all of us in very practical, individualized, affordable, and holistic ways.

Let’s start small, make lots of mistakes, learn from them quickly, and build very real and practical systems of mutual support.

We can do this. You can help.

Friendship: Beyond Trolls and Twinks

2006-05-26T01:42:46Z

Sat, 6/3, 6:30-l0:30 pm
BEYOND TROLLS & TWINKS: Developing friendships with men of all ages

We live in a time of gigantic and rapid changes. What if our survival depends on the diversity of our friendships – much more than on how much money or stuff we control?

In times of rapid change, two qualities become essential:
1. Creativity and;
2. The ability to create alliances across traditional divisions.

One of the most important and difficult divisions men must learn to bridge is age. Our age stereotypes can crush our ability to even see men, much less get to know them. Younger men can come to trust older men and vice versa, and we all need to be able to relate to men our own age.

In this Playshop you’ll use story-telling, psycho-drama, and guerilla theater to explore, make fun of, and look beyond your age stereotypes. You’ll have the opportunity to really get to know men of all ages – their true gifts, their connections to who you really are.

Imagine having male friends; good friends who are much older than you, much younger, and your own age too? What would you learn about yourself? What would you be able to accomplish?

Thank you for forwarding this to men who might be interested, and for seeing if you might benefit from any of our new free men’s yoga classes:

* l. Men’s Core Strength Yoga, MONDAYS, 5:45-7:00 pm

You'll gently & powerfully stretch, tone, and strengthen your whole body, building muscle mass, strength & flexibility. Instructors: Charles Airey has taught & studied yoga for over 20 years; Eric Wallace has been practicing yoga intensively for over 2 years and just completed yoga teacher training.

* 2. Men's Wellness/Therapeutic Yoga, WEDNESDAYS, 6:30-8:30 pm;
Learn to use Yoga & Ayurveda to reach your wellness goals (getting stronger & more flexible, losing weight, becoming calmer & more focused, etc.) and/or to self-treat chronic ailments (like back/neck pain, insomnia, allergies, depression, HIV, digestive problems, etc). Taught by Bart Church, who has studied for more than 18 years (under certified Iyengar & Raja Yoga instructors) and taught for more than l0 years.
.
* 3. Men's Gentle/Restorative Yoga, THURSDAYS, 6:30-8:30 pm;
Paul Tucker, Ph.D., who has studied yoga for more than 30 years and been the senior yoga teacher at PSU and at Nike's World Headquarters for eight years, will help you use gentle, long stretches, simple breath practices, and restorative positions to: Better manage stress & its effects on your body; Re-energize your mind & body; Learn to relax deeply & easily; and find your natural flow - where the mind & body work together in more harmony.

5/6 Kindred Spirits: Men Laughing with Life

2006-04-27T20:56:47Z

Saturday, 5/6/06 7:00PM-12:00AM

In this playshop, we will help adult men of all ages, sizes, shapes, colors, orientations, and backgrounds realize the amazing potential for friendship, play, & laughter among men. Kindred spirits are all around you – you need only open up to them and remember how to play.

Throughout history and in virtually every culture male friendship has been an important way for men to get their needs for play, emotional & physical intimacy, and community met. In the modern, industrial world too many men have become cut off from the richness of male friendship and play.

In this event we'll practice remembering how to play together as men.

Bob Czimbal, the facilitator of this event has spent the last 30 years helping corporations, communities, and groups learn how to use play, movement, laughter, creative verbal & non-verbal communication, and healing/nurturing touch to discover the amazing abundance of kindred spirits in our lives. All around us are people who would love to play with us, if we would just invite them to play.

COSPONSORS: Event co-sponsored by MenSpirit, a joint project of two non-profit organizations: Q-LAND & LoveTribe. MenSpirit seeks to empower diverse men in the Portland, OR area to discover and manifest their individual & collective potential for wellness, community, friendship/intimacy, spirituality, & play. We do this by supporting & creating venues and values for life-long, collaborative learning among men.

11/5 How can Storytelling Change Your Life?

2005-10-27T17:36:13Z

Storytelling has been a vital part of almost every culture. For too many people in the modern world, storytelling has become a passive, solitary experience (watching TV or movies, surfing the web, listening to the radio).

In some cultures wars would be stopped to allow people to gather for collective, active storytelling. When we gather to tell our stories of transformation, hear other people’s stories, and actively weave those stories into our collective stories, we realize the power of storytelling to:
* make life worth living by connecting us with what is important & universal,
* allow us to connect with one another emotionally & physically, and
* inspire creativity by helping us to discover new ways of thinking, feeling, & moving.

Would you invite the men who’s stories you most respect, admire, or revile (including yourself) to join us on
Saturday, 11/5, 7-10 pm, for a
Special Men’s Spirit Pajama Party on
“Storytelling: Honoring the Many Masks we Wear (and Secretly Want to Wear).”

We’ll use heart circle, theater games, masks, and embodied play to share our stories of personal and collective transformation. The most important stories are not told just with words, but with our whole bodies. We’ll realize how our personal stories connect with the stories of other men, regardless of their size, shape, color, orientation, or background.

This event will be co-facilitated by noted painter & mask-making artist Greg Carrigan; transformational psychotherapist and trickster Aaron Hornstein; and performance artist and costume shape-shifter John Harry Bonck (Cayenne). Event co-sponsored by LoveTribe and Q-LAND, two non-profits that seek to create a more heart-conscious, life-affirming men’s community in the Portland area.

Thanks for inviting important men in your life to get to know you and themselves more powerfully on Saturday 11/5, at the mask-making workshop, 1-5 pm, and/or the Storytelling Pajama Party, 7 pm – 12 am. (P.S. – To attend the party you don’t have to wear pajamas – you can wear any comfortable clothing--, nor do you have to attend the mask-making workshop, but you sure could.)
