Perhaps it will not be out of place to explain here the meaning of the term 'Spirituality', which is often confused with blind faith in sacred books, a display of miracles, psychic phenomena, or Yogic powers. Spirituality is an inner experience and its alphabet begins where all philosophy and yoga practices end. It is the experience of the soul. When one says,"I am the body", it is a feeling based on the intellect and is defined as ignorance. When he says,"I am not the body, I am an awakened sou …

… Once I heard the philosophy it rang clearer then anything I'd ever heard and fell in love with the words spoken. As Abraham would put it, 'thrill bumps ran through my body' when I first heard the truth of the words and continues to do so to this day. I've attended two workshops with Jerry and Ester, in Philadelphia and NY and spoke with them once, in the hot seat ;)  All ideas welcome. Please pass your desires or requests on to me, if I can oblige I will for I have many ideas. Happy deliberate …

… Our philosophy is that people are more often then not run by their stories, excuses, or past as if you were in the passenger seat observing your life go by while your past drove the car. These stories, however good they are, however believable, and let's face it, some of them are very well-crafted with years of practice and dedication, actually prevents us from living the life we are hungry for and deeply want. When we are able to see the story for what it is: that the story isn't real, not eve …

This is a group for both experienced and inexperienced hikers, all of whom have the tacit fundamental desire to get outdoors for a day (or two). We have no group theory or group philosophy, yet. Personally speaking, I seek people willing to share in this group's organization, with a committed spirit of both activism and ethical eco-tourism. This means that we seek and communicate information about our activities that include regulations as well as education. The purpose of this group should be e …

This is a group to make peace with others and develop our peacemaking skills through reading and dialoguing about 1) our various worldviews, and 2) peacemaking and nonviolence. This group is not about convincing others or coercing them into your (or my) worldview, but it is about learning to dialogue empathically with people who don't share all the specifics of your worldview. It is also about having a chance to share your own worldview with others who are listening empathically. One must not fi …

We'll meet once a month to discuss current and classic works selected by the group. To start, meetings will take place in my home; members willing, they may rotate to others' homes and/or public gathering spaces, such as cafes, wine bars, or parks.
