Description
The Discovery Community, Inc. is an all volunteer organization whose mission is to promote the health and well-being of gay and bisexual men by providing ongoing opportunities for social connection, personal growth, and community development. DCI was founded in 1986 and is incorporated as a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. The organization is committed to being inclusive, and thus strives to keep events affordable to men from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds.
Discovery Community organizes four weekend retreats each year, along with monthly social and recreational events. The Weekend Retreats are facilitated by experienced volunteers from the Discovery Community, and they are generally held during the weekends of the Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and President's Day holidays. We utilize different sites throughout the year that include locations in Sonoma County, Clear Lake, and Napa County. All of the sites are suitable for a wide-range of activities, and promote relaxation in a scenic environment.
What can I expect if I attend a retreat? Typically there are from 40 to 60 men in attendance, and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. The retreats include some structured activities to help participants relax and get to know each other, as well as plenty of unstructured time to hang out, engage in recreational activities, or quietly enjoy the splendor of the setting. The retreat facilitators guide the participants through workshops, discussion groups, personal support groups, and large group gatherings. The facilitators also organize less structured activities like volleyball, dance parties, and a popular "No-Talent" Show, in which retreat participants can share their talents (or lack thereof) with the entire group in a festive evening show. The "No-Talent" Show is also a great time for you budding drag queens to show your stuff as our "Bevy of Beauties" always kicks off the show.
