Running a business may leave you making decisions alone at the top.  If you are like most business owners, your family and friends cannot fully appreciate what it takes to run and grow a business. As a business owner, you face challenges that are common to business owners. We recognize the value of learning from each other (which is cheaper than hiring consultants). That's why we formed these "executive peer groups." Come discuss challenges and issues with your business peers who have built comp …

We are conscious beings speaking from our higher presence, learning to use tools for thinking and speaking to express our outcomes, and using the developed language and speech of a higher consciousness. "Mastery" means having expert skill or knowledge, as well as having control, authority or power over, in or with something. At Mastery Systems, our use of the word “mastery” refers to being master of oneself – having self-control and being subject only to one’s own highest wishes and desires, …

At any moment, see what your mind is doing. It is going into the past or the future. It is angry about the past or anxious about the future, isn't it?

All the human values that we treasure and cherish - Happiness, Joy, Love, Compassion, Caring, Friendliness, Enthusiasm, Creativity, Relationships - can only be lived and experienced in the present. But, when we are caught up in the chat …

If you are single and would describe yourself as a secular humanist, an agnostic, an atheist, a freethinker, or a naturalist, etc, this group is for you. Having shared belief systems does not guarantee a successful relationship, but it does help stack the deck. There are many faith-based singles groups, as though they really need them; they can find each other everywhere. Non-theists, however, are a minority. As non-theists we generally do not wear a symbol around our necks that allow us to reco …

Let's gather all the long-lost brothers and sisters, cousins and such once a month for some quality terrier time. Meetups will be held indoors during the cold months at Ruff House in Edina. During the warmer months, we'll convene at a local off-leash area. Ruff House requires proof …

The Conscious Club was born of the ever increasing desire we all have to enjoy a social outing that is fun, informative and uplifting in every way. Created by three gents in Australia on the basis that they and so many of their friends were tired of going to the same old pub or club, yelling at each other for a number of hours before coming home with nothing to show for it except a hoarse voice and a hang over. The guys realised that everyone is going out to clubs and getting UNCONSCIOUS, so the …

This group features weekly games which embody our key concepts: 1. Intensity.  Games should encourage you to push yourself to your physical limits.  Most games will covertly employ the HIIT style of physical training.  I say covertly, for while your muscles might be screaming out like they do during any good exercise, you will be far too focused on capturing the flag to notice. 2. Creativity.  Sometimes unconventional, out-of-the-box thinking is damn near a requirement to winning.  Think "Ender' …
