SUMMARY:Connection Circle with Michael: Thank You For Being A Friend-Buildi
 ng Your Chosen Family
DESCRIPTION:Adult friendships are hard in a world that feels more digital\,
  divided\, and disconnected than ever. This Connection Circle is all about
  what it really takes to build and maintain genuine friendships as a gay m
 an\, and how to build a chosen family you can truly rely on.\n\nThe holida
 y season is the perfect time to talk about the friendships that sustain us
 \, why so many fade\, and how to build the kind of community that carries 
 you into the years ahead. Come share\, listen\, and connect with other me
 n who get it.\n\n\nGay Men’s Brotherhood Connection Circles are for g
 ay men wanting a safe place to converse and share personal experiences.\nT
 he purpose of these Connection Circles are to give you a chance to connect
  directly with other members of the community in a small\, intimate virtua
 l setting.\n\nThe Connection Circles will foster conversation\, collaborat
 ion and support from your fellow brothers. Our intention for this offering
  is to create a safe space where we can get to know one another more intim
 ately and alleviate the loneliness and disconnection we see so much in our
 selves and our community.\nHere's how the connection circles will work:\nW
 e will gather in one large group and the facilitator will review ground ru
 les and offer a topic with some discussion questions. We will then break o
 ff into small pods of 3 where you can share personal experiences\, insight
 s\, ask questions\, or provide support to others - just like we do on the 
 Gay Men Going Deeper podcast!\n\nThis is perfect for those of you who are 
 too shy to speak up in the large groups during our sharing circles. Smalle
 r groups allow for people to take the time to get to know one another wher
 e friendships can form. This is also a great opportunity to connect with p
 eople that you might not otherwise connect with because the pods will be a
 ssigned randomly.\n\nUnlike our Sharing Circles\, there is an expectation 
 to share at this event in the small pods.\n\nLooking forward to seeing you
  there
