COMMUNITY EVENTS
Combatting Conversion Therapy
Thursday, September 21 for a community conversation about conversion therapy at the Mt. Horeb United Methodist Church, 9542 Co Hwy S, Mt. Horeb, WI. Doors open at 5:45; panelists will speak from 6:30-8 PM. Our panelists include a survivor of this practice, a pastor, a physician from the Pediatric and Adolescent Transgender Health (PATH) Clinic and mental health professionals from the Center for Community Health, Mount Horeb Counseling LLC, and Natural Wisdom Counseling with moderation of the event provided by Sean O’Brien from Fair Wisconsin.
A Public Service of Lament and Celebration
To follow up on the Combating Conversion Therapy seminar offered on September 21 at the Mt Horeb United Methodist Church, the Mt Horeb chapter of PFLAG is hosting a public Service of Lament and Celebration at Brix Cider, 119 S. 2nd St in Mt Horeb on Sunday, September 24 starting at 6:30 pm.
Much of the considerable energy directed against the LGBTQ+ community in recent years has been generated by religious groups, and politicians seeking their votes. In response, PFLAG-Mt Horeb, in cooperation with area pastors and members of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies, are offering this one hour service for the confession of wrongs past and ongoing, and to promote health and healing in our community. Through spoken word, poetry and music we will celebrate the beauty of every person, encourage acceptance of all people and embolden Mt Horeb in our shared desire to continue growing as an open and welcoming community for all.
Everyone is welcome. Anyone who would like to participate in the service with a song or poem can contact Brad Brookins at bradbrookins7@gmail with your ideas for what you would like to offer. Brix will have food and cider available for purchase if you’d like to enjoy a meal while we are together.
Mental Health & Wellness Fall Festival
Saturday, October 7th, 11:00 AM 0 8:00 PM at Snapdragon Farm & Stables.
Join us for a community festival centering practices and resources that support individual and family mental health and well-being.
The purpose of this fundraiser is to reduce mental health stigma, while giving community members experiential opportunities to learn through connection with art, nature, music, movement. This event will combat the current crisis of social disconnection and loneliness in this post-pandemic world, while promoting positive relational learning and fun family-friendly experiences.
