Loving A Partner - What It Means and What It Takes
Oogachaga (www.oogachaga.com) is pleased to announce the third 2005
Oogachaga Talks titled "Loving Our Partners." These bi-montly talks
are organized in association with Looking Glass - an email
counseling service by women for women. For more information on

Most of us long to be in relationships with that special someone.
And yet we find a multitude of challenges from lack of role
models, social support to dealing with our own and our partners
hangups pop up before us constantly. What makes a healthy
relationship? How do we deal with trials that pop up in every
relationship? How do we negotiate our relationship commitments?
What sacrifices do we have to make to maintain a relationship? How
do our biological families fit in, if at all?
Come and hear our panel of gay and lesbian persons share the
up-downs and sorrows-joys of their relationships. Walk with Kim as
he shares about the twist and turns of his 20-year partnership with
Leong. Share with Cephas and Elsin about the thrills and challenges
of being in love with another woman and Jo and Jorg about their
long distance stint and why they decided to get married after a
10-year partnership. And for good measure, Lehlim a married mother
of two toddlers will share her own journey of life and growth with
Kim her husband and children.
The panelist will share the lessons they've learnt about being
human, being strong, finding empathy and learning to love from
their unique and yet common journeys. Come hear them share about
their ups and downs, their own growth and the celebration of each
others' lives. The sharing will be followed by a question and
answer time and hopefully we grow together from this mutual
sharing.
