^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
<br>
<br>
Many, many men aren’t. Career & Life-Purpose Despair, Mid-Life Changes,
<br>
<br>
Emotional Stuff or Painful Relationship Dilemmas. So go 'see' somebody
<br>
<br>
and really start working it out. You - really being heard from way inside
<br>
<br>
and coached forward & through by other men who can deeply understand you –
<br>
<br>
- man to man. That could be quite skillful work by another one of the guys
<br>
<br>
in Your Own Men’s Group. So get out of your protective self-imposed isolation:
<br>
<br>
“I can do it by myself” male-ego-pride-shame- fear-bullshit game & just get into
<br>
<br>
a men’s growth group for awhile where you can work on your stuff & your soul
<br>
<br>
on a frequent enough weekly-basis to make a really noticeable difference.

FIRST: What's The "IDEA" of a Men's Group ~
<br>
<br>
<br>
The "IDEA" of a Men's Growth Group: What's written at some length below -
<br>
just might be a half, or even a whole 'new concept' for you to sincerely consider -
<br>
even tho Men's Groups have been around now for a couple of decades or more -
<br>
<br>
<br>
AUTHORS & SPOKESMEN like Robert Bly, James Hillman, Jim Belushi, Peter Coyote,
<br>
Bill Moyers, John Densmore, Michael Ventura, Keith Thompson, Luis Rodriguez,
<br>
Sam Keen, Ted Danson, Herb Goldberg, John Lee, Michael Meade, Jack Kornfield,
<br>
Orland Bishop, George Lucas ... the list goes on .. men who've been deeply involved
<br>
in men's deep inner-work for the last three decades.
<br>
They have inspired us & influenced what we do in our local men's groups here in LA.
<br>
<br>
So... Welcome to a Good Idea!
<br>
<br>
<br>
"The World Needs a Man's Good Heart" ~
<br>

CONFUSIONS • • •
<br>
<br>
MISUNDERSTANDINGS
<br>
<br>
About Men's Groups: GOOD MEN BECOMING EVEN BETTER MEN.
<br>
<br>
A DISCLAIMER :: Some un-informed folks think that when a guy goes to a 'Men's Meeting'
<br>
(like an AA Stag Group) - that it's always about substances, abuse or anger management --
<br>
thinking that a “men's group” is just for guys with behavior 'problems' – This is NOT true.
<br>
<br>
OUR Men's Groups are what's called “Men's Growth Groups” -- there's a Big Huge Difference!
<br>
'Recovery-Work’ is NOT what we do – And we highly recommend AA and other Men's 12-Step
<br>
Recovery programs to men who are seriously & intensively struggling to overcome destructive
<br>
addictions & behaviors. Our hearts are so with you.
<br>
<br>
But OUR 'Men's Growth Groups' are for quite stable guys who want to deeply discover
<br>
and get into MORE genuine touch with themselves - to bring home, bring to their families
<br>
bring to their whole lives - a better, more expressive man - a better, fuller, richer Person.
<br>
<br>
When very Sincere Men of Good Heart meet to ‘Inner-Quest’ together & explore
<br>
their true inner-being - those men cannot help but successfully grow together.
<br>
<br>
<br>
( private individual therapy or
<br>
relationship ~ marital counseling
<br>
is also available by appointment
<br>
for women & men, or couples )
<br>
<br>
<br>
________________________
<br>
<br>
<br>
YOUR INDIVIDUAL GROWTH
<br>
<br>
<br>
You just can't truly 'Grow' all alone on your own -- "All by myself".
<br>
True Enriched Good Living - itself -- takes an expanded, expressive
<br>
heart-inspired form of Willing 'Fellowship' -- a 'conscious' men's community...
<br>
within the larger community of all beings. We all need a 'Village' & mentoring.
<br>
<br>
<br>
"Everything we've ever, ever learned --
<br>
we've learned somehow from somebody else." ~ The Male Mentors Guide

“MEN'S GROUPS Are For Men Enriching Themselves & The Women,
<br>
Youth, Families, and Work That Deeply Affect All Our Souls”

• EVERY TYPE OF MAN COULD USE BEING IN A MEN’S GROUP
<br>
-- absolutely every kinda’ guy.
<br>
<br>
<br>
How MANY ways can we say it . . .
<br>
It’s missing in our modern society.
<br>
A ‘man’ needs this – MOST men need this!
<br>
That’s our only ‘pitch’.
<br>
It’s not ‘Best Buddy’ talk we do . . . it’s different.
<br>
<br>
<br>
“I GET the point – I NEVER thought about it before.
<br>
It's a valuable point really worth considering” ...
<br>
<br>
<br>
Most American men haven’t considered it.
<br>
Even about the 'existence' of men's groups.
<br>
It never occurred to most of us either.
<br>
<br>
anyway, don't get spooked -- read on

<br>
<br>
What is a ‘MEN's COUNCIL’ ? ... A Tribal Council ? ... The Men's Lodge, Men's Longhouse ?
<br>
<br>
"It's inconceivable to me that we 'modern' men don't gather in a 'Sacred-Soul Way', not just a sporting way!
<br>
In more simple, less techno-alienated, less complex societies -- the adult men of the village always meet
<br>
in Tribal Men's Council - very regularly - to support their own noble strength of inner-manhood
<br>
- a sort of Monday night football for the Soul." ~ Akasa Levi
<br>
<br>
<br>
This is not a 'corny' or a 'hokey' idea - in modern America, the true, authentic, heroic/poetic
<br>
masculine Soul is way, way under-nourished! A Man's ‘needs’ have become a TV joke.
<br>
A shame-based mythos seems to have taken over & rules the day. The true 'Wild Man'(Feeling-Man)
<br>
has become a hazard or an embarassment. " ~ Robert Bly
<br>
<br>
<br>
“It’s a Very, Very Ancient Male Tribal Tradition:
<br>
<br>
The Men’s Circle Calls To Us!
<br>
<br>
The Men’s Circle IS THERE, specifically,
<br>
<br>
FOR Men’s Inner-Work & FOR Men’s Life-Issues”
<br>
<br>
~ Jungian analyst James Hillman

the 'PROBLEM' has a History...
<br>
<br>
<br>
SO WHAT HAPPENED TO MEN? ~ “The average contemporary adult male has paid a
<br>
heavy price for his buying into patriarchal masculine ‘privilege and power'. Now he is out
<br>
of healthy touch with his best values & deepest emotions. He lost all or part of his soul-spirit.
<br>
Only a new way of perceiving himself can unlock him from old, destructive patterns and
<br>
he can authentically enrich his life” ~ Herb Goldberg – ‘The Hazards of Being Male’
<br>
<br>
________________________________________________________________________
<br>
<br>
<br>
THERE IS A CRISIS IN THE OVERWHELMING LACK
<br>
OF THE TRULY HEALTHY, THE NOBLE "MATURE MASCULINE" ~
<br>
<br>
<br>
"That lack feeds into the destructive global crisis of survival we face as a species.
<br>
We need to develop a calmness about masculine power so we don't have to act out
<br>
dominating, disempowering behavior towards others. If contemporary men can 'willingly'
<br>
take up 'by themselves' (no product on the market will do this) the task of their own
<br>
wholesome initiation from Boyhood to Manhood as seriously as did their tribal forebears.
<br>
Yes, then we may actually witness the ‘end’ of the beginning of our species - instead of
<br>
the beginning of the end"

WHY JUST AN ALL ‘MALE’ MEN’S GROUP? ~ “As men, we need same sex friends
<br>
to be listened to by, because there are types of validation and acceptance that we can
<br>
receive only from our gendermates - that go way, way beyond the sportsfield or the work site.
<br>
There is so much more about our deeper experience as men that can only be shared with,
<br>
and understood by, other men. There are stories we can tell only to those who have wrestled
<br>
in the dark with the same demons and have been wounded by the same angels. Only men
<br>
understand the shameful or secret fears that also go with the territory of masculinity”

"Yeah, sure -- I remember that small group of guys, my guys,
<br>
I use'ta hang out with in high school, usually in the parking lot,
<br>
or at that lunch place... we weren't jock-types, we were 'odd' guys,
<br>
we talked kinda deep-minded, deep personal stuff for back then ...
<br>
it was so good being with those guys" ~ Steve
<br>
<br>
<br>
“THE MEN’S LODGE, THE MEN’S LONG-HOUSE IS A PRIVATE ‘SACRED SPACE’.
<br>
Since the dawn of time men in every culture have met alone together to approach their gods
<br>
and find their collective magic. Every young boy knows this instinctively - ‘No Girlz Allowed’.
<br>
The women in our lives are now getting to appreciate, not be threatened by this. Because,
<br>
all along, women have historically always gathered together on the most sensitive levels of
<br>
Anima. Men have lost their true Male Spirit and have bought into substitutes - and are just
<br>
now slowly regaining this sacred sanctuary. They come home to their families after men’s
<br>
group as better spirited men”

"TO KNOW GREATER INTIMACY: with Life, as well as wife, kids, best friends --
<br>
we often must take the risk of being hurt, laughed at, or even rejected.
<br>
In the safety of your men's group, committed to emotionally supporting each other and
<br>
learning to confront and resolving conflict, you can afford to take those risks.
<br>
Your men's group will become a safe place, an arena for your anger,
<br>
your sadness, a refuge of comforting, of challenge, loving, and caring.
<br>
Here you just might get to tell 'Your Story' for the last time
<br>
and be done with it.
<br>
Wouldn't that be a great unburdening!"

ON HOMOPHOBIA: Our Group membership so far has been all 'straight' men

We've always been solidly bi/gay/feminist friendly, 'supportive' & 'affirmative' --

We lovingly acknowledge all other peoples, their colors, and their civil, religious,

A RAP about the Phone...
<br>
<br>
<br>
CONTACT
<br>
<br>
<br>
Men's Group ITSELF is all about
<br>
‘CONTACTING’ & ‘CONNECTING’ with your Truth.
<br>
<br>
• Just Phone 310-450-2268 to inquire more about
<br>
The L.A. MEDICINE MEN'S LODGE Men's Group.
<br>
Ask for AKASA LEVI, so you two guys can talk directly -
<br>
Especially to ASK A BUNCH of QUESTIONS and
<br>
To Get Lot's of DETAILS you will need.
<br>
<br>
• On Playing PHONE TAG...
<br>
the BEST PHONE HOURS for contact are Noon to 6pm, 7 days.
<br>
<br>
You may get a Voice Mail. Please leave a very complete message:
<br>
Your EMAIL edress & best PHONE #s or Cell # -- BOTH if you will.
<br>
Please Make yourself EASY to contact ! ..
<br>
and please speak very slowly & clearly. We'll phone you back.
<br>
<br>
From there, we may just have to phone-tag a bit to actually set up
<br>
a much better 'phone-time' to have a more lengthy informative
<br>
conversation with each other, live....
<br>
<br>
And hey, there's No Sales Pitch. There's No Obligations. Nobody's gonna talk you into shit.
<br>
Trust in that! And yes, you DO need to know more - much more! It’s just too labor-intensive
<br>
to write emails to convey these serious ideas. Inquiry must be voice to voice from here on. Phone. Thank you.
<br>
<br>
So, we cordially ask you to TELEPHONE us instead. We want the conversation to be 'relevant'
<br>
directly to you! So we'd NEED TO PHONE-TALK AWHILE with YOU -- about who 'you' are -
<br>
about who 'we' are - about what a 'men's group' is all about & what YOU need out of this -
<br>
and especially how you will be getting to do your 'work' on yourself thru actually being
<br>
in 'your very own' men's group!
<br>
<br>
We are actually a quite friendly, easy-going, patient and smart bunch of men.
<br>
We are sincere & compassionate men doing this on behalf of ourselves and other men.
<br>
Most men today need some 'conscious' sort of inner-work towards inner-peace!
<br>
The world needs peace-filled men who care!
<br>
<br>
<br>
So, we got contractors, we got corporate guys, we got teachers, we got software guys, we got
<br>
professionals, we got a biker, we got a witch doctor... we've got some good guys here...
<br>
Ages run from a 32 year old creative guy to a 40-something attorney to a 60ish teacher.
<br>
The pool of wisdom-energy 'experiences' is tremendous! It even gets brilliant in here at times!
<br>
<br>
<br>
So PHONE US. Email is too ‘impersonal’. Men's Group is about 'talking' & 'connecting'
<br>
and we're interested in men that are actually willing to try n' deeply relate from
<br>
deep inside themselves.
<br>
<br>
We're looking forward to actually 'speaking' with you 'live'... So, at least check it out!
<br>
Thanks for reading & hearing all this ... Akasa Levi / Firetender

• A CLOSING THOUGHT ~ Ahhh, At Last!
<br>
<br>
<br>
Hey, YOU PERSONALLY - “The Women” as well as “The Men” out there reading this -
<br>
YOU could be really, really helpful in furthering MEN’S DEEP INNER-WORK towards
<br>
a "Male Spirit of Peace-Making" that world-generations might enjoy someday! We won't
<br>
survive without 'peace-making / peace-filled men' and the women who love and support
<br>
that in them...!
<br>
<br>
• WHAT YOU CAN EASILY DO: Simply please PASS THE WORD around in your
<br>
ordinary everyday conversations - and TELL MEN & WOMEN YOU KNOW, that you heard
<br>
about the EXISTENCE of "Men's Groups" - not just here in LA, but in places where others
<br>
you care about might live - men’s groups ARE out there! Everywhere! • Really, make
<br>
"Men's Groups" a part of your 'conversation' • We find that the WOMEN in our lives have
<br>
been great word-of-mouth & great supporters in INFORMING MEN they know about the
<br>
truly healthy possibilities of a men's group -- even about the mere 'existence' of men's
<br>
groups in American culture (that there even IS such a thing!) ...AND THAT IT WORKS…
<br>
for every kind of guy! ...and We Thank You! Maybe MANkind will thank you when men
<br>
stop undue profiteering, exploiting the weak, and worst - making wars.
<br>
<br>
<br>
Be Peace
<br>

<p>Willem A. Nyland was born in Utrecht, Holland. A chemist by profession, he came to the United States and earned his doctorate at Columbia University. In 1924 Mr. Nyland began to work closely with Gurdjieff's representative in America, A. R. Orage. He remained active in the Gurdjieff teaching and often traveled to France to see Gurdjieff.</p>
<p>Mr. Gurdjieff asked Mr. Nyland to start a group in America, for which he would receive special material from Gurdjieff every week. After Gurdjieff died in 1949, Mr. Nyland was one of the founders and trustees of the Gurdjieff Foundation. He remained active in the Foundation until he formed his own independent groups in the early 1960s.</p>
<p>Anyone who has listened to a few of the 2600 recordings of meetings with Mr. Nyland, made between the late 1950s and 1975, cannot help but feel that Mr. Nyland was extraordinarily devoted to the Gurdjieff teaching. His strength lay in his combination of honesty, practicality, and perspective. Although Mr. Nyland died in 1975, his spirit and attitude, coupled with his teacher's gift for clarity and communication, continue to be the hallmarks of our group.</p>
<p>Please contact us with your inquiries.</p>]]> | <![CDATA[We are an established writing group with members who have been produced, optioned, or placed in competitions. We currently have an opening for a dedicated screenwriter.
<br>
<br>
You should have completed at least two feature-length film scripts (any genre; studio or indy fare) and have Sunday nights free. Regular attendance at bi-weekly meetings is critically important. Between going to meetings, reading scripts, writing feedback, as well as producing your own material, the time commitment can be substantial.
<br>
<br>
We're basically looking for a peer -- someone who already has a strong sense of story structure, character and theme; someone who can work well with other sharp brainstormers, while being supportive and constructive with their own criticism. We evaluate anything -- a story concept; a pitch; an outline or treatment; a first act; a full script; anything you want to bounce off others.
<br>
<br>
To apply, send (one FULL-LENGTH FILM SCRIPT sample) AND (the FIRST 30PGS of another film script), plus a brief biographical statement to scribesofromans@gmail.com.
<br>
<br>
In your bio, include your goals and professional accomplishments to date; any contests you may have won, or placed highly in, etc.; and what expectations you have from your ideal writing group.

The 12-week program will put your dieting mysteries to an end, and the health-based curriculum will make losing weight fun. The health topics will include, proper daily nutrition, daily eating habits, healthy grocery shopping and guidelines for eating out.
<br>
<br>
Hosting a WLC in Sierra Madre is an effort to help the community to combat the growing obesity epidemic happening all across America. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 25 percent of American kids are overweight and 65 percent of Americans age 20 and older are overweight. Obesity increases the risk of illness from 30 serious medical conditions that include heart disease, strokes, most forms of cancer, hypertension, sleep apnea and diabetes.
<br>
<br>
With poor health steadily increasing, health care costs have doubled from 1990 to 2001 and will contribute to the costs doubling again in 2012.
<br>
<br>
Participants are welcome to any weight loss method, but the contestants will gain guidance and tips for losing weight as well as the understanding of the basic principals that govern healthy weight loss will help boost their results. Contestants will be encouraged to implement their new knowledge to produce great weight loss results.
<br>
<br>
At the end of the 12-week program, the top three biggest losers will win a cash prize --- determined by percentage of body weight lost.
<br>
<br>
Currently, the classes are geared for adults. However, eventually a family-oriented curriculum for children will be available.
<br>
<br>
The educational program will be offered at the Sierra Vista Park community center at 611 E Sierra Madre Blvd. Meetings will be Wednesdays from 7 to 8pm beginning June 4th, 2008 to August 20th, 2008. Maximum occupancy for the room is thirty, so sign up early.

Welcome to the Irish in California group site. We are an expanding group that networks as a family; it's a family environment and it welcomes all those who are Irish of by birth or interest. We also welcome our Celtic brothers and sisters of Scotland, Wales, Brittany, Isle of Man, Galicia, and who can forget the Cornish.
<br>
<br>
My opinion is that we are all one family separated by forced boundaries and now in America we can embrace our culture and differences. You will find Catholics with Protestants with Wiccans, etc. The purpose of the group is to share everything Irish, and Scottish. I also welcome the Welsh, Bretons, Manx, and Cornish; their events are also shared when available.
<br>
<br>
We also try to do meetups, we are working on a meetup in every major town in California, but that takes input from the members.

Parenting from the higher self free Tele class
<br>
May 22 at 7:00pm
<br>
<br>
Your child is your teacher and your mirror. He or she is showing you exactly what you need to look for within yourself. When you embrace and welcome this mirror, you begin to heal yourself and relate to your child in present time - but if you resist, you often get stuck in judgment, guilt, and frustration. In this lecture you will learn how to communicate with your child's higher self, see what their spirit needs and learn how to support them to become fully who they really are.
<br>
<br>
Class Teacher:
<br>
Pnina Zoharah has practiced the art of clairvoyance, intuitive healing and spiritual guidance for 16 years. Her ability to teach the wisdom of universal experience will allow you to let go and see the “Big Picture.” You will discover how to exist with the spiritual freedom you desire and gain the ability to follow your destiny.

Our group is about friendship, and love; about knowing when to fight and when to walk away. For you, for me, for everybody.. Spending time with us is about all our tomorrows and all our yesterdays lived together, today. It's about falling down and getting back up again, smiling through the pain, and laughing through the tears. Community, where you and I come together in unity.

Ever try kayaking? It's lots of fun. Come enjoy the scent of fresh salt air as you exercise in a great workout! Kayaks On the Water is located in Alamitos Bay, Long Beach. These quiet canals have little boat traffic and so it's an ideal place to practice kayaking for the experienced and beginners alike. We might even see people doing dragon-boat racing!
If we can get 20 or more people together, then it'll be $5 an hour with a minimum of 2hrs (hence $10 per person) Otherwise, it'll simply be $8 per person each hour. Understandably, 9:45am is quite early for a Sunday morning. However, please do keep in mind that this is Memorial Day Weekend so you should give yourself ample time for parking. We actually plan on launching at 10:30am so if you miss us, you'll just have to pay the normal price of $8hr.Unless you somehow manage to flip yourself over, you really don't need to worry about the water except during the initial launch. I would recommend wearing flip-flops/sandals/etc. and then anything else to fold up past knee level. There will be both single and double-person kayaks available. Here's a tip, sit in the rear of a 2person so that your partner can stroke while you enjoy the view!
What to see? Well, if you go down this one particular canal, there are Moonjellies at the end! Kinda like jellyfish things. Otherwise, one can dock and go ashore to get Jamba Juice, Starbucks, Ralphs much more strip mall stores. And if we happen to catch high tide, there's a small wildlife refuge where you might see some exotic birds. I expect that we should return to base about 12:30.
Afterwards, if anyone's interested, we'll have a late lunch at MVP's, about 2miles away. Haven't been there myself, but apparently it's good for groups and GREAT for burgers. Apparently, huge homemade style burgers and equally large portions of spectacular fries. Mmm.. makes my mouth water! Click here for reviews!I'm also going to schedule lunch as a separate event to start about 1:30.</p> <p>Kayak Rental Fee: $10.00</p><p>See the full event details, including location, at <a href="http://asianpros.meetup.com/42/" rel="nofollow">Young Asian Professionals</a>.</p></td></tr></table>]]> | <![CDATA[I am looking for several people to join me in meeting once a week to form a entrepreneurs club.

<br>]]> | <![CDATA[The ‘Beyond Self' Training Program: Now Enrolling at the Bodhi Center <br>
<br>
The 'Beyond Self' Training Program is an intensively focused and powerful curriculum, based on the cultivation of true insight and understanding regarding the nature of consciousness and the actual structures of reality. Participants will be guided in a fearless self-examination and self-exploration process. Guided, targeted ‘de-conditioning' work will wipe away old programs and past traumas. This training is offered for those individuals who know that more is possible for them, and who are ready to move beyond everyday experience. Participation in the BST should not be casual or half-hearted; it is a program designed to challenge all of your beliefs and pre-conceived ideas, and to change your life (closer to truth). Therefore, enrollment should be considered with real seriousness. Real commitment is required, to go through this type of intensive process. The BST can serve as a pledge to yourself, to be willing to examine your readiness to actually have all suffering end for you—in this lifetime—here and now. It may sound odd, but the real challenge is to ‘be willing' for your suffering to end.
