Grant(he prefers his last name)
plunged into the men's movement when he turned 50, in the early 1990s. He attended
his first 
retreat in California and has enthusiastically included Orcas, Jemez, and B.C.
in his itinerary ever since. Raised in 7 western U.S. states, he settled in the
San Francisco bay area, attended Stanford University, practiced architecture for
30 years and raised two children.
Upon learning of his HIV status, he "retired"
and resolved to extend his creativity through painting and ceramics, and forge
stronger connections with his "brothers" and the earth. That journey
has led him to attend over 50 retreats sponsored by a variety of organizations,
the most impactful being  ,
Billy Club, and California Men's Gathering. Preferring to think of himself as
a participant who contributes, Grant has been slow to adopt the role of "facilitator",
but feels drawn to share the many lessons he has learned over the years. |
