Come join us as we share with each other ideas, tips and strategies that have helped each us to "stay in the moment" (since that's all there is!). Many of the ideas are from Eckhart Tolle and his life changing books: "The Power of Now," "Stillness Speaks" and "A New Earth" as well as our own personal experience about what works and what doesn't. There's no need to "go it alone" when you can have a group of fun, like-minded individuals supporting you on your life's journey. Hope to see you at our next meeting!

"Identification with your mind creates an opaque screen of concepts, labels, images, words, judgments, and definitions that blocks all true relationship. It comes between you and yourself, between you and your fellow man and woman, between you and nature, between you and God. It is this screen of thought that creates the illusion of separateness, the illusion that there is you and a totally separate "other." You then forget the essential fact that, underneath the level of physical appearances and separate forms, you are one with all that is." -Eckhart Tolle

    I missed the last meeting in the park, but I heard it Sucked! (Steeped thick with EGOs) Maybe this time we can make an effort to host a clear, simple and direct forum for answers.

    will the time be adjusted since eckhart's class doesn't end until 8 PM since it is the finale?

Who attended?

    •  I had a great time there. I had the chance to get to know great people with same interests. I like the idea of sharing experiences and will definitely join the next meeting. 
    •  Chilly on the outside, warm on the inside. A cool Spring evening in the park. Our forum is continuing to form. Evolve the ball: Maybe we could pass it around the circle, clock/counter, giving everyone at least one opportunity to speak, directly to the person who spoke last...or choose to pass it along. Speak to the topic of the 'Now' moment , then hold our tongue, and open our ears; this too shall pass. Group participation on a "be-patient-until-it-is-your-turn" level playing field; rather than the "catch-the-hot-potato-while-it-zooms-past-your-head" game. We all want to speak, and we all want to listen as someone else speaks, so that we can speak back to what was just said; drawing an evolving picture. Thank you, Rainbeau: What took you so long? Well you are here Now. Might you speak up sooner and elaborate longer? Where words match up with thoughts, clarity forms. 
    •  Nice people, great shares, loved the ball.

       Awesome, awesome, awesome! What a gift it was to be able to hold our meetup immediately following Eckahart and Oprah's last class(#10) together. The sharing and intimacy was great. YOU are great!! Thank you to all who attended!!! 
    •  WOW! I am amazed by this group. These meetups are truly inspirational and insightful. It would be interesting to see if we could come up with some practical/fun exercises to practice being in the moment, as a step up from talking about being in the moment, if that makes sense . . . maybe another sharing session where we each share an example of the magic/flow that happens when we incorporate the Power of NOW into our daily lives. 
    •  Thank you Michael and Ramona! What a fantastic culmination that was tonight. I left the meeting feeling complete and "enthusiatic." There was some amazing sharing and explanation and it all crystalized for me. Now I will just have to live the practice and "lift the weights"one day at a time. I hope this will not be the end of the get togethers. I really enjoy the sharing and comparing that the group energy brings and you two know how to keep the gatherings fun and enlightening.
