A Course in Miracles
2023-05-17 19:00 - 20:30 UTC | France
A Course in Miracles: each week we begin our exploration by reading the short introduction which includes these words “the course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim however at removing the blocks to the awareness of Love’s presence which is your natural inheritance.”
Has any other subject been written or sung about more often than love? Isn’t it the organizing principle of all religions? So popular and prominent in our daily discourse, yet so elusive. And don’t we yearn for an alternative to fear, guilt and hatred, suspicion and divisiveness?

Whether a beginner, a student of many years, or an on-again/off again inquirer, you are invited to join us in seeking to learn how to love and enjoy being in love. It’s not a solo performance. Only together, is love manifest.

Men's Wisdom Council
2023-05-18 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York)
What does it mean to be a “Man”?
Most men find that there is no clear answer to that question. It’s never been easy being a man. We take on the roles that society assigns us, without being given clear instructions. Role models that are offered up to us don’t speak to our deeper concerns, or rarely reply from the depths that our spirits require.
Councils have long been used by many traditions and cultures as a way to come together and gain a greater understanding of the world. The Men’s Wisdom Council continues this sacred tradition of sharing and deep listening.
Our circle we will strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where we can take turns telling our stories, sharing our concerns, and learning from each other—as we explore how we, as men, walk through the stages of our lives.
Please contact Michael Corthell (michaelacorthell@gmail.com) for any questions that you may have.
