What we’re about
We are a community of deep social connection, nuanced discussion and application of growth and consciousness within our own lives. We define 'spirituality' as the amalgamation of our individual life experiences, genetics and knowledge and how this shapes our perception of who we are, why we are here, and what motivates us.
Whether you see yourself as a fractal of Divine energy or an emergent consciousness born of humanity's evolution, we tend to align on the following. We introspect within for our true meaning and purpose, while also accepting that we live in a real material world and strive to grow more capable and effective every day. We see ourselves as a mix of yin and yang, spiritual and physical, love and strength.
Core Principles: Love + Mindfulness + Understanding: What does it all mean?
Love
- We are here for each other. Come to listen to other people. 2 ears & 1 mouth!
- We trust our counterparts enough to open up to them and be vulnerable. We expect the same in return.
- We want to leave each other more knowledgeable and more powerful than before.
Mindfulness
- When you are here, you are only here. Pay attention and be present. Get out of your head and get in touch with your peers and your surroundings.
- When you are in the Now, you are not replaying old thoughts and experiences in your head, and you are also not projecting and intellectualizing the future.
- Detach from underlying beliefs, identifies and visions. This is the only way to introspect and rewire your internal programs and habits.
Understanding
- We come together to learn from each other. Every viewpoint must be considered.
- You are not here to win arguments and bludgeon your opponent into submission. Be prepared to have your mind changed, not to change the minds of others.
- Critical Thinking is detached thinking. It's not about this side or that side of the argument. It is seeing everything purely objectively whether you agree with it or not.
- Objective, analytical thought is one of humanity's greatest tools, and it can only be utilized consciously, detached from pre-existing expectation, belief and motive.
About Us
The Conscious Growth Society Meetup Group is founded on the principle of growth. We all have our own individual growth journey, but they all share a few elements. We must make peace with the past, we must introspect and truly know ourselves, and then, we must take action and consciously become what we aspire to be. Just speaking and philosophizing is not enough. We implement the changes we seek in our worlds!
DISCLAIMER:
While we strive to follow universal spiritual principles and virtues, we are NOT affiliated with any business, religious, or spiritual organizations. Our goal is to facilitate quality recurring weekly social time between growth-oriented people. We do NOT support MLM, paid mentorship/life coaching, network marketing, real-estate/entrepreneurial education, or other monetization and profiteering schemes. We will only ask for donations/fees if we are paying for a space or event materials.
