The thing Artists and Activists have in common is a passion for their work. I hope to mesh these passions in this group. Art, political and social activism have long been happy bedfellows. Think of Picasso’s Guernica Night, Susan Crile’s Abu Graib series, and more locally to Connecticut, the Cycle of Terror and Tragedy, September 11 by Graydon Parrish housed at the New Britain Museum of American Art. As they say, a picture says a thousand words and what better way to convey these kinds of messag …

We get together to learn and to inform others.

Dear God, Universe, Spirit, Can I call you GUS for short? I don't know what to call you, and I don't know where to find you. I've tried meditation, but I get distracted by shiny objects. I've tried vegetarianism, but get distracted by pulled pork sliders. I've tried chastity, but I think we all know how well that turned out. Of course, none of this is news to You, You being omniscient and all. So where do I go to connect with like-minded people? Where do I go to understand my connection with You …

To be sure, we will make excursions into the city--and that includes Queens and Brooklyn as well as Manhattan...and let's not forget the Bronx and Staten Island as well. However, we will get together here on Long Island to …

We use simple, easy-to-use breathing techniques and meditation to relieve stress and improve personal well-being. The processes help one to "sink into that core of silence" that is in everyone of us. This silent center that we all are is joy, peace and love. Regular practice helps to expand that centeredness and make it a part of everyday life.
