We all have much to learn. None of us can presume to have the whole truth or final word about this Vast Mystery that is our existence.
We recognize that we are each at unique points in our growth, and that what is important for one of us, may not be for others. Our group purpose is not to push people to grow, but to create an environment and an atmosphere where each of us feels encouraged and empowered to grow at our own self-chosen pace.
Many of us feel that sharing the teachings, practices, and rituals of various denominations and spiritual systems enriches our personal paths and contributes to the worldwide process of tolerance and understanding.
Remember that this is your group even though this may be your first meeting. No one person is officially in charge of our process. Our success depends upon each of us taking part in the group in every way we can. The only requirement for fruitful participation is an openness to growth and a willingness to be completely honest.
We are happy you have chosen to share with us your spiritual journey. May we all grow in love and understanding together.
