SHOUTOUT: “The Quest” – Velvet Rage Workshop this January

Gay Men and Velvet Rage continues to be the hot topic this year. Shame, lack of self-esteem, feelings of inadequacy – they all have the potential to lead us on to self destructive behaviour.

It’s something that I have repeatedly addressed in the pages of this blog. It’s something I continue to fight with myself.

Last year life coaches Ade Adeniji and Darren Brady used Alan Down’s ground-breaking book The Velvet Rage to lead a workshop for gay men.

Here is the article I wrote about the event in Time Out:-

Following on from this Adeniji and Brady are running a weekend event entitled The Quest on 28-29 January. As I write this places are filling up fast.

The weekend promises to be interactive, inspirational and, most importantly, non-judgemental. It’s an opportunity for gay men to share their experiences and stories.

This, as I have said before is the only way that we are going to evolve as a community.

It takes courage to face our past and embrace the future. It takes support to give us the strength to recognise our short-comings and create the person we always wanted to be.

This workshop represents an opportunity to do just this.
