Speaking to groups

A Complicated Love
An invitation to engage

A Complicated Love is a true story about the relationship I had with Jared, my son. I will share with you the fears, taboos and judgments that I had about gay people and the insights that came about as we communicated with each other [Jared was in South Africa and Taiwan at the time ]and on our road trip. My hope is that this keynote or presentation will invite real engagment with your son or daughter or a member of your family who is gay.

Based on the needs of your group, we can explore some or all of the following:
· Our cultural stories and the assumptions about same sex relationships
· Research on sexual orientation
· The downside of fear and prejudice
· The role that religion plays in our thinking
· Breaking limiting patterns from the past
· Coming out as a parent
· Coming out from religion
· The healing power of dialogue and authentic emotional connection

Keynote, presentation or workshop
A complicated love - an invitation to engage can be configured as a 1-1.5 hr keynote or presentation or as a half day or full day workshop.

Best audiences
