Paul Tillich, Ph.D., a renowned theologian of 50 years ago, once commented,
"What
we call the Renaissance was
participated in by about one thousand people."
The Renaissance was an influential cultural movement which brought about
a period of scientific revolution, religious reform and artistic transformation,
at the dawn of modern European history. What a jolting thought .... only
a 1000 people out of several million, but evolutionary endeavors often
start in exactly that fashion, with a small number of evolved souls exploring
new territories of culture and consciousness.
.From perhaps a slightly different perspective, the renowned cultural anthropologist, Margaret Mead, came to a very similar conclusion.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
After the enhanced connection available through this web pathway, the creativity
and synergy of our meeting in person, in real life ...
"Real" community; brings
forth an extraordinary power and opportunity for "Renaissance" .... like
has never existed before.
Now there is an opportunity with consciously combining Love, Truth & Personal Integrity to address the basic needs of life in such a successful manner, that the result is to rise above the clouds and confusion of turmoil so often present in contemporary daily life, and approach and enjoy life with a radiantly clear peacefulness and Joy.
"Real" community is the premier vehicle for this journey into enlightened
evolution, into a new Renaissance and Joy. This is what our GateWay to
Community program provides. If your Soul calls out for a higher expression
for you, for a more honest, loving and creative way of living; I invite
you to inquire and attend the next step into creating much more of the
world you wish to exist and to live within.
In Love, Eric

GateWay to Community
Imagine an integrated lifestyle expressing all our dimensions... physical, social / emotional, intellectual and spiritual... in a way which is not only healing, but also supportive and indeed inspiring of the highest aspects of you. Imagine a way of being which encompasses not only intellect, not only spiritual practice, but also architecture, finances, eating, drinking, dancing, relationships, marriage, all around health, and community.... and it does it successfully!!
Think of this path as being a journey
from bondage & fear into love.
