Twin Spirit Tribe

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG!

You were destined to find us as we were destined to find you.

Twin Spirit Tribe began with a vision that Co-Founder Elias Patras experienced while taking part in an apprenticeship program in Shamanic Studies with Rainbow Journeys, LLC, founded by Susan Lipshutz, LCSW and Dr. Tom Voitas. The program not only allowed Elias to come to understand the teachings of indigenous tribes but also to learn more about his own personal healing and how this could help others on their own journeys towards empowerment. It was very apparent to Elias that this perspective could make a difference in the gay community and find common threads within the straight community.

Elias and his life partner Gary came to start a retreat weekend whose purpose was to focus on self-love, self-discovery and self-awareness. Over time, the retreat weekends have been expanded to include gay and straight men and women. Some remarkable changes that focus on our commonalities as whole spiritual beings have empowered retreat participants and fostered connections and communication between the gay and straight communities. Since it is impossible to be on retreat all the time, we are starting this blog as a means of carrying on the conversation 24/7/365.

Stay tuned for our next entry coming soon. We'd love to have you join the conversation! Just click on the word "comments" below any posting to get started.
