The daily lives of most of us are full of things that keep us busy and preoccupied with mundane concerns. We miss the sacred, so every now and then we find ourselves drawing-back and wondering what is it all about. And then. perhaps we may internally begin exploring perennial questions that we don't normally stop to examine. This can happen with regard to any aspect of our lives. This study group is deliberately designed for those among us who are curious, enthusiastic, non-judgemental, and wond …

Dear Friends: I just finished intensive studies in pastoral care and counseling and believe now more than ever, that the last thing we all need is to only attend "church" as it has developed over the years. Although I am the Senior pastor at a wonderful church on the West side of Manhattan in the West Village, I really enjoy sitting together in s a small group. Perhaps sitting in a pew is not the enemy, however, I have found that sitting together in small groups and sharing with each other vario …

A group for Pagans, polytheists, occultists, and others, of many different paths and all genders, who revere Lilith as a Goddess. For most of the past few thousand years, Lilith was regarded as a demoness and nothing more. In the 20th century, She was reclaimed by some Pagans and feminists as a more positive figure, representing female independence, sexuality, and vehement opposition to tyranny. Some other modern occultists revere Her simply as a chthonic figure, rather than as a revolutionary. …

All of us are spiritual. Yes, it's true: We were all born with this innate gift. We are spiritual even when we think are not being spiritual. Because spirituality is life and life is spiritual. Sometimes you feel the gifts, and sometimes you feel the work that should be done. So what is the ultimate goal of spirituality? It is to be blissfully happy and healthy as our unique selves. It is to become conscious and consciousness. It is to live in balance: where ever we live, who ever we are and in …

The aim of this Meetup is to provide a forum where men and women can share and learn the views of others on the many ways in which gender roles have an impact on our lives. The goals of Feminists and Masculists ring hollow if by definition, they marginalize the concerns of the other gender. Despite all the changes to societal expectations for each gender in the past century, certain traditional patterns remain. Some of these traditions amplify innate differences, while others arguably represent …

After working with my gay brothers for more than 20 years as a healer, ordained spiritual minister, massage therapist and hypnotherapist, I have found that the common thread running through our challenges in society is our need to connect.
