Rowe’s multi-cultural, multi-generational Labor Day Event is one of the largest and longest-standing gay retreats in the country: an amazing and gorgeous gathering of gay, bisexual, and transgender men seeking a more complete sense of community and family. For new participants, Rowe can be a major step in coming out, a bridge to gay community, and a place to make new and true friends. For returnees, Rowe means coming home to old friends in a place of emotional and spiritual connection.
For many, Rowe is a place of transformation that has brought healing and newness into the lives of many gay men. Two highlights of the retreat are the delicious meals and the talent show, which gives the chance to stand in the spotlight to anyone who wishes it. As gifted, colorful, sensitive, deep, tender, outrageous, and shy gay men, we have been trained to hide our magic. Reclaim that magic. Join our community. Bring your gifts, struggles, and dreams. You are welcome here. This program is one day longer and costs $80 more than our regular weekend conference fee.
Ken Page is a psychotherapist, workshop leader, and consultant who offers groups and trainings on intimacy, spirituality, and sexuality. He believes that gay and bisexual men hold unique gifts and that healing involves rediscovering and embracing these gifts, which have often been shunned in our families and by our culture. He is also a delighted new father. He assembles a wonderful staff of talented workshop leaders, and we hope you will come.
Please Note: Our programs are spiritual and educational and not a substitute for ongoing therapy. Occasionally people find our programs to be too psychologically or physically challenging, so we suggest you consult a physician or counselor if you have any doubt.
