With bouldering, you climb up to about \~15 feet from the ground, are not secured to a rope, and do not need a partner; it's probably the easiest way for beginners to explore climbing for the first time! **With rope climbing...** * You climb in pairs - the climber on the wall & the belayer on the ground ensuring the climber doesn't fall. Belayers need to learn how to belay & pass a test administered by the gym staff for safety reasons! * At this gym, the climber doesn't need to take a test (the belayer can check safety for both people); however, it's unlikely that for you to find a partner who only ever wants to belay from the ground while you're climbing. * Therefore, if rope climbing is really important to you (getting that adrenaline rush from going \~60 feet up!), you should plan when you're going to 1) learn to belay and 2) do the belay test with gym staff (which also depends on gym staff availability) * For many first-time ever learners, learning to belay can take the entirety of the Queer Crush session (and also depends on our ability to have someone who can teach you). Since the gym closes soon after our session, this means that you may not get much time, if any, on the wall! * At Mission Cliffs, most days before Queer Crush, there is an Intro to Climbing Class that the gym offers. We highly recommend you taking this class, then , time-permitting taking a belay test with gym staff, and then joining our group. This would be the best way to do rope climbing as a beginner with other queer crushers

Marin Brunch Club: Cultivar (Sausalito)

Sun, Jun 14, 7:30 PM

From Marin Brunch Club

Six seats. Good wine. Even better conversation. Cultivar recently opened in Sausalito and it’s exactly the kind of place worth gathering around — intimate, inviting, and new enough that it still feels like a find. **What to expect:** A relaxed mid-day Sunday brunch with a group of people who enjoy good conversation. And if the mood strikes after, Sausalito’s downtown is fun to explore with local shops and waterfront views. **Who this is for:** You like exploring new places. You’d rather have one real conversation than five forgettable ones. You care about the atmosphere and even more about the people in it. We’re slowly building a small group of people who look forward to seeing each other. We’d love to see you there. **To reserve your spot:** All attendees will initially be placed on a **waitlist**. As this event has limited space, not all waitlisted guests will be moved to the **“Going”** list. Once you receive my direct message, you will be moved to the **“Going”** list only after your deposit* is received. *There is a $20 deposit to secure your spot. All deposits will be returned to you at brunch or if you cancel with more than 24 hrs notice. Why the hold? Small groups only work when everyone shows up. This keeps us accountable to each other from day one. Thank you for understanding!

Join us for a 90 minute lightly facilitated group conversation exploring our personal insights and reflections about practicing the dharma through a discussion about the selected book. **Out of respect for the group container, you are required to have read the book in order to participate, and because of that we intentionally select very short reads.** Please come with the parts that resonated with you, the parts that confused you, the parts you disagreed with, whatever! Together we will explore, share wisdoms, name what is difficult, and connect as we are. This session's selection is: **How To Fight by Thich Nhat Hanh** Learn how to relax the bonds of anger, attachment, and delusion through mindfulness and kindness toward ourselves and others. We recommend borrowing a copy from the [library](https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/search?query=how%20to%20fight) or purchasing one from a [local book store](https://www.google.com/search?q=san+francisco+book+stores+mission&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS1124US1124&oq=san+francisco+book+stores+mission&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigATIHCAQQIRigATIHCAUQIRiPAjIHCAYQIRiPAtIBCDUwNzdqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8).

This work has been powerful and deeply nourishing for me and I'd love to share it with you. I’ve never seen a practice more adept at melting the distance between two hearts. \~ Jon Cotton What does a Circle look like, with the Original Circling Approach? A group of 4-10 people sit in a circle & put their attention primarily on one person, and, with the help of a facilitator, notice what it's like being with this person moment by moment, share impact & observations, and co-explore what that person’s experience and world is like, essentially getting into deep relationship with what is most true & alive for that person. A typical evening includes introductions, an exercise to practice authentic relating & 2 rounds of circling - each approximately 30 minutes in length. The experience of “being seen” for who we authentically are is one of the most rewarding experiences we can have as human beings, and the Original Circling Approach teaches us how to see & celebrate each person for the unique flavor they bring to the world. We don’t give advice or try to fix anyone. Rather, we welcome and stay with “what is”, so we can relax into the truth of our experience, feel supported & know we are not alone. “Circling practice is to get in a deep relationship with what is.” * Guy Sengstock, Founder of The Original Circling Approach For deeper understanding, see 6 Things the Circling Practice Does Really Well… http://www.circlinginstitute.com/what-is-original-circling-approach/ **REGISTRATION:** Advanced registration and $30 payment required (Our last event sold out a week ahead of time).
