This group is for people who are seeking to establish deep spiritual friendships both with others, and with themselves. We will commit to co-creating an atmosphere that offers deep listening, unwavering compassion -- and potentially life-altering challenge to the status quo. This ongoing group will explore and practice ways to 1) Access our deepest wisdom, and 2) More completely integrate and embody that wisdom in all aspects of our lives. In this process, we’ll draw respectfully from many s …

Writing offers a way for people to connect to deeper, wiser aspects of ourselves – a way for us to find out, as the poet Audre Lorde said, “what we didn’t know we knew.” Almost every writer has experienced mysterious moments when the words that flow from our pens, or from our fingers on a keyboard, seem as if they come from someplace else – a place beyond our small human selves. Sometimes, when we let it happen, it’s as if the words become a little boat, a raft on which we can sail in a larger s …

MY INTENTION in creating this group is to, first of all, share and make available this work that I so deeply love, and let interested people know that i am holding workshops on regular basis at the beautiful location of Orr Hot Springs in Ukiah and, sometimes, in the San Francisco Area too.

Shamanic journeying is an opportunity to meet with one's guides and visit other realms of existence. You may go into a journey with a question, and meet various beings who will often give very good advice and information. This kind of work can be very inspiring and empowering. Perhaps above all, it offers the opportunity to develop an awareness of realities quite different from this one. However, if a participant's belief system won't go there, and she/he credits it all to imagination, it can st …

THE CENTER FOR SHAMANIC HEALING was founded in March 2009 by a circle of Shamanic Healers, Teachers and Practitioners dedicated to bridging Shamanic and Spiritual healing into the 21st century as a living, thriving art.

Whether your goal is personal growth or personal healing; understanding your own divinity, joyful attainment of your dreams, or pursuing a path as a shamanic practitioner, our intent is that t …

Spirituality is about life, not boredom. Spiritual life doesn't just happen in a single building, or one day a week.  Are you interested in exploring what it means to be Christian in a faith community that celebrates the gifts of all cultures and all people -- queer, straight, trans, cis, men and women -- and that values creation, creativity, and justice? We're hoping to meet a few people in different parts of the East Bay who want to experience a community of prayer and practice, instead of jus …

You’re here because – * You’re not only trying to make money – you feel that you’re here to change people’s lives, be in community, and even help better the world. * When you go to a standard networking event, it seems superficial and that most people don’t share your values. * You want to make deep and lasting connections. * You want to be part of a movement that does business in a way that consciously honors your personal or spiritual growth, and allows it to be an acceptable part of your expr …

The Liminal Art Salon meetup group is a forum for incubating authentic expression. Its purpose is to guide, stimulate and inspire artists and seekers to renew the spirit and power of true, authentic creative expression. Liminal literally means "threshold". To create from a liminal state is to cross the threshold between everyday reality and the invisible realms of supra rational consciousness. We aim to generate, brainstorm and cultivate ideas, imaginings, creations, events and collaborations. O …

Offering ceremonies that bring in the Divine to foster peace within each of us as a means to bringing peace on Earth.

In these times of great change and transformation there is a deep calling from within that urges us to step more fully into our role in service to one another and a planet in need. The form of our service varies, but the premise remains the same- as we create and embrace true healing and peace from within, so too can we emanate and share this with others. In this meetup group we will explore a range of topics in energy healing, conscious manifestation, leadership and empowerment, mind-body medic …

We are not called to be any other person then who we are. Our challenge is to be the healthiest person we can be. Unhealthy, we continue to create what we don't want. Awake and aware, we create new possibilities for ourselves in relationships and our intended purpose. The Enneagram can help us in this process. It shows us our motives, fears, beliefs, values and communication styles. Key behavior patterns, inner intentions, needs and perceptions of our personalities can quickly become apparent wi …

Come and deepen your understanding of yourself and others and discover how to grow and transform powerfully through the wisdom in astrology!

Within each one of us resides a fierce sexual spirit. Unfortunately, today's American culture has relegated sexuality to a place appropriate only in the bedroom, under the covers with the lights off. It is often inappropriate to discuss not only sexuality but how our sexuality ties together with our spiritual health and wellbeing. Restore balance to your spirit and vitality. Reclaim your Sacred Sexual Power! Tap into your own life essence and embody your most Radiant Self! Yogi Ramadin's Sacred …

The origin of OM Healing is thousands of years old. It comes from ancient times when mankind was more connected to a higher wisdom and living in harmony with the universe. The rishis (the ancient sages and sources of the Vedic scriptures) of that time used this powerful primordial vibration of OM to bring about healing …

This is a group for anyone interested in a very practical practice that allows you to reach a calm and relaxed brainwave state effortlessly and how to, in time, live in that relaxed state no matter what is happening in and around you. Stress and suffering do not result from circumstance, but from the way attention is being paid to circumstance. Once this is seen experientially through guided attention training sessions by a certified Open Focus trainer, the ability to remain centered and grounde …
