A repost from Ethan Nichtern: Heroes Who Meditate Day 19 -Matthieu Ricard. Ricard was beginning a career as a talented French scientist ( his father was also a prominent contemporary French philosopher), when he abruptly became a Tibetan Buddhist monk, one of the first Westerners to do so. he is a very insightful teacher and writer about the mind. I completely agree with his statement here: religion is optional, humanity is essential.

I am touched and grateful for the interest that there has been in the Gentle Men discussion that I am holding on February 29th. There is potentially one space left, so please do get in touch if you are interested.
Because of the interest shown, I have been wondering if there would be a wish for additional dates? For example, perhaps the weekday timing of this talk does not work for everyone, when a weekend would? Or maybe an evening is better? If you are interested in attending but cannot make the February 29th date, please contact me at david@crossingthethrehsold.net with times and days of the week that work best for you (please include the timezone that you live in). If there is sufficient interest, I will look to schedule another date.
Again, for more information and registration details, please see link in bio.
Thank you, David.

I have long been interested in how men fit in and are accepted among one another. Specifically quiet or gentle men. I am hosting online a small group, free conversation on this topic on February 29th, and I am inviting men to join me. I’d like to have a discussion about what it means to be a gentle or quiet man who does not fully identify with typical expectations - being dominant, being macho, etc. I’d love to explore what it’s like to be such a man in the world today - the challenges, the joy, where you shine and where you struggle.
For more information and registration details, see the link in my profile. Any questions, contact me at info@crossingthethreshold.net Thank you, David.
p.s. this is not a sales pitch but a true interest to learn from other men’s perspectives.

An Invitation to a Discussion...
Tuesday, January 26, 2016
Invitation I am sending out this invitation to men, or men who you may know in your life, to join me for a free discussion about what it means to be a gentle or quiet man who does not fully identify with the dominant macho expectations. I’d love to have a discussion about being such a man in the world today - the challenges, the joy, where you shine and where you struggle.

I was so grateful to see these three last week - Olly Chambers, Lucy Chambers, Anna Chambers, and their brother (off camera) Eddy Chambers - my nieces & nephews. Thanks all for stopping by for three brief but full days. We’ll try not to allow so much time to pass before our next visit.
Out watching Jaws yesterday. You can get a sense of the size of those monsters by the surfer going left on the wave….and the helicopter buzzing around in front.
