ABOUT THE GROUP: The group will be open to any men, irrespective of sexual orientation, for the first four meetings and will then be closed to create an environment of stability and safety. We would prefer to keep the group to 8 to 12 steady members. The group facilitator is Harvey Rifkin. The Principles of Attitudinal Healing devised by Dr. Gerald Jampolsky, based on the Course in Miracles will be used in the work.

“We are students and teachers to one another”
“Love is letting go of fear”; “We cannot experience love and fear at the same time”
“We can choose and direct ourselves to be peaceful inside regardless of what is happening outside”
“We can focus on the whole of life rather than the fragments”
“Giving and receiving are the same”
“We can become love finders rather than fault finders”
“Health is inner peace. Healing is letting go of fear”
I look forward to seeing you at the first meeting - Harvey
