The aim of the monthly Men's Wisdom Circle is to encourage men of all cultures, faiths and backgrounds to come together as brothers to explore, deepen, share and enjoy the spiritual beings that we are.

[FYI: this group is not run by Dr. Michael Brown. In fact, he has nothing to do with it nor indorses it or even knows of its existence as of this writing] In his book, "A Queer Thing Happened to America" (offered on Amazon), Dr. Michael Brown takes a factual look at the history and impact of the Homosexual Agenda. Could it be that like Feminism today, what might have started out as a good thing, a right not to be abused and to be treated humanly, has gone too far? Is it out of control? Can …

Our Story: What is relationship? And how do we create a mutually fulfilling one with others? We've begun the work of learning more about ourselves. We've done multiple-month-long programs and retreats, vision quests and healing circles. We have learned much about ourselves in the process. Now, how do men and women come together to authentically relate and grow from a place of seeing and being seen, supporting and also giving tough love of requested feedback and witnessing...through a group co-cr …

Our Third Act is a social movement, by and for older adults, powered by social enterprise. It is education and mutual support in action, as we create healthy and fulfilling lives as we age. American culture is obsessed with youth, and is stuck in an outdated paradigm of aging, so as we age we’re seen as “over the hill”, useless, decrepit and ugly. And, the societal systems for aging are far worse than negative social attitudes. Our financial structures, housing, and healthcare are completely dys …

Having been a caregiver for a while now, it occurs to me that there are unique aspects to being a gay man in this role. It seems this responsibility has traditionally landed on women. I've made use of the literature and counseling available and tailored it to me. There is much I'd like to share with and learn from other gay men who currently are or were cast in the role of "Florence Nightengale." I don't see this group as a "heavy" experience. Indeed, I have to laugh a lot at the (dark) comedy t …
