PYM Middle School Friends

We are excited to see you all for our Winter Gathering January 31-February 2! The weekend will include small group worship sharing, lots of laughter, group games, and new friendships as we build our MSF community.

The Winter Gathering workshop with Tara Rubinstein will build on earlier discussions at Annual Sessions 2019 and the MSF Fall Gathering. We’ll revisit the model of the gender and sexuality spectrum through games, reflection, and crafts. Queries we will explore together include: What is sexual orientation? How do you figure this out for yourself? How do you support your Friends as they figure it out? 

Our workshop facilitator is Tara Rubinstein of Red Seeds (and former MSF coordinator!). Tara Rubinstein is a writer, educator and mother. She has created and/or supervised programs for adolescents that support LGBTQ identity, drag performance; spirituality, anti-racism, mythology and magic, community building, sexual wellness and body positivity. Her current youth programs include The Diana Circle – a feminist rites of passage group for girls ages 8-13, and Brother Sun – a positive masculinity program for boys ages 8-10.
