[UUPoly-L] SF Bay area, Bisexuality (and poly) curriculum.

[Darlene Pagano <dpagano@igc.org>]

Hello all, 

Sorry for the short notice, but if you are in the SF Bay area, I wanted to alert you to a "class" that the Oakland Interweave group is offering.   

I announced this as an offering last year for the summer, so if this seems familiar, it is.  However, it did not actually happen at that time as UU's (as I had been warned) are a vacationing, summer traveling, break-from-the-church-year group if there ever was one.   

I am really interested to see how the poly content (and there IS poly content) has been incorporated and presented. 

I will be happy to answer question off-line.  For directions, map and info on First Unitarian, Oakland see uuoakland.org     The building is completely wheelchair accessible and close to the 12th St BART station.

Starting this coming Wednesday eve, 2/17 and then every OTHER Wednesday eve
(March 3, 17 and 31)
a group of folks in Oakland Interweave are going to be looking at, beta-testing
if you will, the newish curriculum on BiSexuality produced last year by
Interweave International, an affiliate of the UUA.

To remind: Interweave is our LGBTQIQ* group. And for four weeks as Winter ends
and we again get to Spring we will be addressing the B part of that acronym.

The group plans to meet from 7 to 9:30pm, so bring some snacks to share. Don't
worry, if we find that that is a longer meeting time than we need, we'll cut
back. Please let us know ASAP about any childcare needs. We will be meeting
in the open space on the third floor.

This will be a largely peer facilitated group, but I will be responsible for
getting copies of the curriculum out to folks and will arrive especially
prepared for the first meeting. It looks to be a really interesting, low-key
but lively look at this material.

In case it isn't totally clear, EVERYONE is welcome to attend, and I want to put
out a special invite to all my fellow OWL teachers to be part of this, as you
can.

To claim a seat or with any questions or needs, email Francey Liefert at
interweave@uuoakland.org

Spread the word, Oakland Interweave welcomes any and all who are interested,
whether on a personal level or as part of their commitment to an anti-oppression
stand (or both). We are a welcoming congregation after all.
