Let's discuss how to improve dialogue among each other (with whom we may mainly agree and those with whom we may mainly disagree). Let's address socially conscious and conscientious matters, with music as the commonality and at the forefront (not background). Ever go to a venue and much of the audience members or patrons are trying to talk over the music and/or ignoring the performers? The goal for Music for Progress is to talk when planning, debriefing and spreading the word; enjoy and apprecia …

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.” The pur …

Greetings to you all, This group give you an opportunity to receive messages from the spiritual realm. You have spirit guides and helpers that are waiting for you to listen to what they have to say.

Our dialogue is an attempt to explore together the nature of the self and the profound questions of existence Krishnamurti raised as they relate to our daily lives. Krishnamurti’s teachings are often referenced as a point of departure, but we are not attempting to promote any teacher or belief system. Inquiring together as a group creates a mirror in which we can see our conditioning reflected as we expose ourselves to one another and to ourselves. At times it may resemble cognitive therapy or m …

As far we are concerned, excise is a dirty word. The only exercise some people get is jumping to conclusions, running down their friends, side-stepping responsibility, and pushing their luck. We DON'T exercise, we play! Why? Just, think about it, an hour of basketball feels like 15 minutes. An hour on a treadmill feels like a weekend in traffic school. Which one would you rather do? Clear your mind of can'ts; Join us and play!
