Philosophy can be one of the most sublime or the most trivial of human pursuits. What are some of the definitions of philosophy? One classic notion might be the pursuit of wisdom, or sophia, studying about fundamental concerns  of life and world such as existence, truth and essence. The modern academic definition might be the study about how to think and know systematically and correctly,  by the proper use of logic, reason, and language--rigorous scientific and analytic philosophy. We have e …

The format of GMOT is that a group comes together, has a short round of introductions, then a presenter offers several different viewpoints on a great question of theological/philosophical/ethical substance (for 10-15 minutes), and then we open it up for lively discussion. Participants tend to vary widely in their religious affiliations (and non-affiliations) and the only ground rule of the group is "deep listening" which means we should voice our authentic opinions, but not try to cram them dow …

Soul Sex is about bringing mindfulness into every aspect of our daily lives; about living a life that’s in alignment wit …

EcoSexuals are also exploring how our relationship with human sexuality affects how we relate to ourselves, one another and Earth’s ecosystems. We ho …
