This year, GSVs Fall Conference focuses on spiritual practices, and will provide an array of opportunities for you to discover or deepen your own practice --  whatever form, tradition or energy that takes.

Because sharing, exploring and experimenting at this level has always been a part of the GSV experience, moving it to center stage at this conference becomes a way of honoring our past while expressing an essential value of the future we hope to create with one another.

Sessions led by Darren Main (see below) and GSV brothers will invite your active participation in movement, meditation, breath, and yoga -- in the hope that these, experienced in GSVs safe and sacred community of men who love men, will guide and inspire you to continue on “the path of your highest and best good.”

Cost: $430. Price is all-inclusive: arrive in time for dinner Thursday, depart mid afternoon Sunday. To register, follow the directions to the right.
(Many choose to arrive a day early, to enjoy The Mountain’s natural beauty, and each other’s company. See registration form for details.)

Darren Main is a yoga and meditation instructor and author from San Francisco. His books include Yoga and the Path of the Urban Mystic, Spiritual Journeys along the Yellow Brick Road, Inner Tranquility, and Hearts and Minds: Talking to Christians about Homosexuality. He facilitates workshops and gives talks on yoga and modern spirituality internationally and is the host of the syndicated podcast Inquire Within.
