Who Am I?: A Workshop for Men

Lighthouse Workshops New York @ 60 W 39th St, New York, NY

The cultural story of what it is to be a man has been hammered into us since we were born. It surrounds us; it is inside of us dictating how we live, what we do, and even what we want out of life. That identity, however useful for society, is only part of the story and begins to feel like a straightjacket for the growing individual who feels the need to know himself more deeply. Maybe more men need to look inside and ask the question: Who...

Happiness Is an Inside Job

Lighthouse Workshops New York @ 146 W 29th St, New York, NY

Maybe you’re living out your life the way you always thought you were supposed to. Maybe you're in the middle of some ladder of supposed success or another, maybe you've reached the top, or maybe you've just given up -- but now you realize, or at least you have a gut feeling, that just getting to the top of that ladder by itself won't make you happy.

VitaminR’s VisionWorking: Create Your Purpose Statement

New York Open Center @ 22 E 30th St, New York, NY

Passionate Neutrality

New York Open Center @ 22 E 30th St, New York, NY

If there is a single, distinguishing quality of a Zen master, Sufi teacher or monk spiritual guide it is his or her capacity to be neutral when passions are high and personal complexes on the loose. We could all benefit from this ability to stay neutral when everything urges us to lose control, let emotions run amok, and get caught in another person’s madness. This skill is useful at work, when counseling others, in friendships and, above all,...
