The Quest

Remarkable Men - Soulful Sunday Sessions
Online event
Connection:
Ask people about love and what is often shared is stories of heartbreak.
Ask people about connection and they will often tell you about disconnection.
When we feel disconnected from ourselves and others, life can feel solitary, isolated, dreary and dull. It can lose its meaning.
It means that something is missing ~ to get back to this place of connection we have to
pause and
pause and
pause
and listen to what is missing and to honour what we need.
IN this session we’ll take time to listen to our needs and to understand how jealousy, scarcity, perfectionism and fear of risk might get in the way of connection to ourselves and others.
Re-imagination: Re-markable Men takes a new direction for the Autumn.
This is the beginning of a new direction for Remarkable Men. (see below for more details of our twice monthly meetings) Also please note the new start time of 10.30.
Remarkable Men is a facilitated space where a rich, diverse range of Gay men meet to explore a topic that impacts our lives.
Do you want to start Sundays feeling revived + invigorated?
Do you crave a more interesting type of conversation?
Do you want to connect in an open and non judgemental environment?
Do you want to deepen your understanding of yourself?
Certified Life Coach Darren Brady ( Co founder of The Quest for Gay Men) and Courage Coach, Jonathan Ward are both certified to deliver the programs of Dr Brené Brown and will guide the group in some fascinating conversations.
Now in its 6th amazing year, this Sunday ‘drop in’ group lifts the spirit, emboldens and helps connect Gay men.

What to bring: Curiosity, life experience, openness, honesty and warmth!
Frequency: The group will now be meeting twice a month on the 2nd and 4th (5th?) Sunday of each month.
The 2nd Sunday of each month will be a “flexi-meet”. It may be in person in a venue, on line, a hybrid meeting or a walk-and-talk meeting in a park. This might be a coaching circle or a co-facilitated space (with Jonathan Ward).
The fourth (sometimes the 5th Sunday of the month) will be a Zoom call facilitated by Jonathan Ward.
Beginning in September 2021, this will focus for the next 12 months on “The Artists Way” by Julia Cameron, working through the 12 chapters, one each month.

Remarkable Men - Soulful Sunday Sessions
Bonnington Cafe, 11 Vauxhall Grove, London, SW8 1TD, gb
Building Resilience in Difficult Times.
This Sunday we will meet in person meeting in Bonnington Square.
In the past month our world has shifted.
Our hopes were rising, the possibility of an emergence from the restrictions of the pandemic.
Then war, stark images, constant reporting of suffering. We choose to watch or not to, always knowing it is there, happening, much closer to us than is comfortable.
What do we do when we see this suffering? We offer help when we can in any way we can for those in the midst of something that they have not chosen. Our hearts open for their pain.
In these challenging times we also experience our own suffering: helplessness, powerlessness, guilt, grief, loss, anger, despair, confusion.
It can feel indulgent, perhaps selfish to think about focussing on our own struggles and yet, seeing images, reading about what is happening, difficult emotions arise, whether we want them or not.
If we are not able to take care of our own emotional well being, to care for ourselves with kindness and compassion, to meet emotions as they arise and to build the resilience to be with what is hard, it becomes more and more challenging to be there for others.
This Sunday will be a space for
: sharing our struggle (Covid, post covid, rising costs of living, the war in Ukraine to name but a few), and acknowledging how challenging it is
: recognising our common humanity (one of the steps of self compassion)
: ways to respond to take care of our own needs for kindness, support and connection
I hope that you can join me for this important support for yourself.
Remarkable Men is a facilitated space where a rich, diverse range of Gay men meet to explore a topic that impacts our lives.

Abundance: (in relation to money)
Do you live from a place of scarcity and not enough-ness around money? Do you limit what you allow yourself out of fear or not deserving?
This week we look at how our attitudes might limit both financial and creative abundance in our lives.
“Creativity is the foundation of all change”
We have to be able to creatively imagine a new way of being before we can make it happen.
When our creativity is blocked, shut down or has become inaccessible, change becomes harder.
If you are serious about change, this is a great place to begin.

Remarkable Men - Soulful Sunday Sessions
Speakers’ Corner, London, W2 2EU, gb
A walk in the park.
Face to face connection with others is one of the irreducible needs of human beings. It is vital to our well being: emotional, mental and physical. This has been thwarted in the last 2 years.
As part of our return to being with others in person, we will meet for our second “walk and talk”
We will meet at Speakers Corner and meander through the daffodils and crocuses as we spend time making, renewing and deepening connection with each other.
There will be questions provided to initiate conversation and during the walk we may stop to reflect as a group.
It would be wonderful to see you for a Sunday morning walk in the park.

Possibility:
“There are plenty of difficult obstacles in our path. Don’t allow yourself to become one of them” (Ralph Marston)
We all get stuck, in habits, routines, ways of being, settling rather than challenging ourselves to change.
If you find yourself placing limits on the good you feel you can receive in your life; being “good” rather than authentic or feeling resentful for not making changes in your life, then this Sunday’s gathering might give an insight into why.
“Creativity is the foundation of all change”
We have to be able to creatively imagine a new way of being before we can make it happen.
When our creativity is blocked, shut down or has become inaccessible, change becomes harder.

Integrity:
Integrity, integration, authenticity – are all about returning to or discovering our truest nature, free from the masks that we put on in the world to cover up what we don’t like about our-selves.
Our values light the way towards this authentic nature, towards living with honesty and truth.
This week we begin with what is important to you and why and how to live in alignment with what you discover, letting go of what others think, and how to draw on the the courage we need to do this.
“Creativity is the foundation of all change”
We have to be able to creatively imagine a new way of being before we can make it happen.
When our creativity is blocked, shut down or has become inaccessible, change becomes harder.
If you are serious about change, this is a great place to begin.

Remarkable Men - Soulful Sunday Sessions
2021-11-28 10:30 - 12:30 UTC | Online event
“Creativity is the foundation of all change”
We have to be able to creatively imagine a new way of being before we can make it happen.
When our creativity is blocked, shut down or has become inaccessible, change becomes harder.
This Sunday we look at the third part of Julia Cameron’s “The Artist’s Way” and how to rediscover and reclaim your creative self.
The second part is “Recovering a Sense of Power” and will be a weaving of exercises, discussion and reflective writing and sharing. This session looks at the motivating power of anger (and why it is vital to growth), the debilitating power of shame (and how it gets in the way of forward movement) and the importance of using feedback to support our progress.
If you are serious about change, this is a great place to begin.
