Urbanmonks Discussion Circles finding their Rhythm out West

So we have had three great discussion circles thus far and we have a solid core group, so they are now established as a weekly Urbanmonks event. 

If in Portland, come join.  Note our new location: Peninsula Park, near the Gazebo. 7-815 pm.

Here are some of the topics we have touched in the last two weeks:

How do we define success?

Where do you feel is your home?

Self-Assessment: How to make it valuable. How does it relate to self-acceptance, self-loathing.

Parents versus Mentors. 

Power of the dark moments.

In other news, I am beginning to build the new cart and it looks like the color will be orange.  Thanks for your input on color choices.  I have also been learning how to use facebook as I hope to launch the Urbanmonks Thinktank facebook page by June. 

Keep Living and learning,

Still hoping to a weekly sangha, a place of retreat and recharge. One that you can show up when you want to be there.  No need to RSVP. 

I will post notes on general topics covered. 

Hope to have weeks focused on the discussion of ideas and other weeks devoted to discussion and/or practive of skills.
