MAY 2009

 

Gentlemen;

I find myself reading quotes I have collected over the years and frequently integrate into the annual Natural Passages program. As I have found deep solace in reading these quotes, I see the importance of remembering them in these times of turbulence and difficulty. I share them in hopes of triggering the reflections within each of you that will reignite your individual light to create the life that you seek.

Besides the annual Natural Passages program that started in April, the only workshop I am doing this year for Men is the MoMen Return weekend for men that have completed the one year program. I suspect it is time for many to come back to rejuvenate their generative capacity.

Bountiful blessings

Birthing

One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.

--Nietzsche

Growing

To Prevent your world from shrinking do one thing every day that scares you.

--anonymous

Being

Fate is not what happens to us; it's what we are---if we are true to ourselves.

Commitment

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.

Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.

All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issue from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man or woman could have dreamed would come his or her way.

Whatever you can do or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.

--Goethe

Conscious Living

To restore order means to liberate oneself from what seems, and to come back to what is.

--Henri Tracol

Liberating yourself

Trust yourself; then you will know how to live

--Goethe 1828


Upcoming Programs

MoMen Return

July 23-26, 2009

The MoMen Return weekend is a return to where we started. It is an exploration into the four principles of presence. The focus is to delve deeply into the relational next steps of the four chambered heart, the four phantoms of fear and the resulting shadow behavior. Dynamic exercises will be provided to support an inward journey and then the opportunity to share these private stories with each other.
