How do we awaken here and now as everyday people? Awakening is not just about Waking Up –- to realize the Mystery of our Infinite Nature. It’s also about Waking DOWN -- into life, our bodies, and relating to others in Mutuality with honor and authenticity. These are the insights of Saniel Bonder, founder of the Waking Down in Mutuality teaching. Waking Down in Mutuality is really is a sacred integration of consciousness and body and a transforming engagement with others in mutually conscious rel …

This Meetup group is to meet other local Parkour enthusiasts (or "traceurs"), gather for training, to plan practice sessions, and to learn more about this art-form or philosophy or fitness methodology...whatever you want to call it! And also, from time to time, just to hang out and have fun with each other. Full disclosure: This is the group formerly known as "Rock Creek Parkour." It actually predates my own experience with Parkour--I founded it in a quest to help me find someone to train with s …

Waking Down in Mutuality (WDM) exists for our mutual awakening and embodying of Infinite Consciousness. We have found that the direct route to this type of awakening lies not in striving to rise above our human tendencies, but in falling totally into them with conscious awareness. This, along with an investigation of Consciousness, and transmission of Being, catalyzes a quantum shift in identity. We find that we are no longer exclusively identified with our finite human self, but have shifted to …

Exploring Spiritual Awakening Together Beyond mind, beyond thought, beyond what you have always believed about yourself is your true nature. We are in a time period where rapid acceleration and the re-membering of our selves ~ our multi-dimensionality is occurring. We are returning to our truth, we are returning to wholeness, unification and a personal direct experience of Oneness with All That Is. As many have done before us, we can wake-up to this reality and realize the truth about ourselves …

If your like me, you not only find marathons and running boring but frankly their impractical - unless your running from the long-arm of the law.... Obstacle course races like Spartan, Tough Mudder, Warrior Dash or military, survival and scavenger hunt style challenges such as Go Ruck, SERE Performance and others require more than a trip to your local gym for cross-fit. You need to train your mind as well as your body. So I challenge you to alter your approach, change the way you think and train …

I started this group as a venue to support like minded peopl …

One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher and said, "Do you know what I just heard about your friend?" "Hold on a minute," Socrates replied. "Before telling me anything I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test." "Triple filter?" "That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter …

A moderator gives everyone a chance to speak, while keeping the discussion lively. Based on the European …
