As part of our expert invitation series — where members with relevant backgrounds can step up to offer something meaningful to the group — we're grateful to welcome Noor this upcoming week (Monday 6pm and Wednesday 11am PDT). Noor is a licensed therapist & certified transformational coach, specializing in parts-based work, drawing on Inner Relationship Focusing (Focusing), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Inner Bonding. He'll be guiding us through an inner journey with our "gay part" — offering a brief introduction to this framework, guiding an inner journey, and opening the space for personal reflection and group sharing. Please bring a journal or notebook, and come ready to meet your gay self across the landscape of your history! This can be a genuinely healing and connecting experience. Noor will be offering this in both meetings next week — so, if you plan to attend both, know that each visit may open different doors or invite you deeper.

This week, we’ve been sitting with a powerful question: How do we truly get to know ourselves? And what came up again and again in our conversations was this — it’s not found in books or blueprints. It’s found in living. In the choices we make. In the moments that shake us. In the courage to step outside of what’s familiar. No decision is ever the wrong one. Every choice we make, we can make right — because every path teaches us something about who we are. The stories shared this week reminded us of that. Moving to a new country. Navigating financial hardship. The relationships that broke us open. The moments we had no idea what came next — and survived anyway. Those weren’t detours. Those were the path. Even the hard stuff — especially the hard stuff — carries a gift, if we’re willing to receive it. Discomfort stretches us. Trauma, when we move through it with intention, can become one of our greatest teachers. It forces creativity. It forces a different way of seeing. Life keeps asking us: Who are you becoming? Our job is simply to stay open. To stay curious. To trust that whatever is happening right now is shaping something in us worth knowing. That’s The Gay Men’s Table. That’s why we’re here. Keep growing. 🌱

Please feel free to ask questions, share wins, tell stories, vent a little, or post whatever’s on your mind. Just pick a category below and jump in. Don’t wait for me to be the only one starting the good conversations. This group gets better when all of us bring something to the table. You never know — your post might help someone else, spark a great conversation, or make another guy feel a little less alone. This is a judgment-free zone. Bring honesty, curiosity, and good energy. If someone shows up rude, weird, or disrespectful… I’ll take care of it 😎
