Rainbow Gathering: Spin some Love Stories this month

The next Rainbow Gathering event is a story-telling night! Come to Bayside Bistro (Cliffe Ave., Courtenay)

on Friday, February 20 at 7 pm. Valentines Day is for everyone so the story-telling will use theme of love,

especially for members of the lgbtq+ community and their families and friends.

Sitting in small groups, we’ll use a spinner to suggest themes reflecting the variety of ways that love

shows up for us: with our animal pets, our families (born and chosen), friendships, short-but-sweet

romances, bad romances with no regrets, fool-hardy loves, un-requited loves, worthy crushes, lifechanging

relationships, and more. Come to tell stories or to listen. Come to be moved, to laugh, and

perhaps to be inspired.

If you need a bit of sustenance, Bayside Bistro will be offering their regular food menu for purchase. This

event is sponsored by our Affirm Committee. The event is free, but you need to reserve your spot at:
