What we’re about
This group is an offering for those that might find themselves in the middle.
What is the middle that is being referred to? It's understood that that is incredibly broad.
To put it as best I know how . . . I will draw on personal experiences within my own life. Having spent the last two years attending various discussion groups which touch on spirituality, religion, philosophy, politics, and all the other exciting topics people regularly enjoy discussing with others, I found myself many times within the middle of the sides of debate.
One philosophy which feels appropriate for this group would be that of the Middle Way.
It is an intention behind this group to explore this thing called "the Middle" and how it affects us. This can include many different facets of our lives such as spiritually, relationally, politically, professionally, etc.
What are the challenges that can be faced while in the Middle, and how can we address those?
This is a rough draft of the group itself. I foresee there being many changes as discussions proceed.
This will be an open discussion group. Come with questions, with curiosity, with openness, and much else.
One thing to offer from other groups I've attended is "seek first to understand before seeking to be understood." / "Agree to disagree, but do so agreeably"
