Local practice groups in new year

Here in Houston, I'm going to be starting up new local groups for spiritual naturalists in January, primarily using Meetup.com (a website that helps organize in-person meet-ups for groups of all kinds). The first of them is my previously existing group which has been on hiatus, The Humanist Contemplatives Houston Meetup. This group will host a monthly get-together at a local tea house on the second Wednesday evening of the month. The format will be very casual. There will be a general contemplative subject introduced, followed by discussion. Everyone is welcome and the subjects will be stand-alone topics so sporadic or irregular attendance is fine.

The other group is a new one, the Spiritual Naturalists of Houston. Membership in this group will be more exclusive to a select group of naturalists who want to seriously engage in a more structured long-term program of practice together. Our gathering will be each Sunday afternoon in a more private location, and will include meditation, followed by a discourse, and then a period of personal sharing and moral support. Our topics will include teachings from many of the wisdom traditions and practices, East and West, which are helpful to pursuit of the flourishing 'good life'.

Whether you're interested in the less frequent casual public format of the Humanist Contemplatives monthly Contemplative Conversation, or the more frequent, structured program of the Weekly Gathering of the Spiritual Naturalists of Houston, please feel free to check us out if you are here in Houston, Texas. If you are interested but do not live here, I look forward to continued interaction with readers online, and hope you will keep an ear out for the launch of our international organization, The Spiritual Naturalist Society, coming soon!

Best wishes :)
