“As within so without” or “as above so below” are an aphorisms associated with sacred geometry, Hermeticism, Baphomet, and the Tarot. The phrases derive from a passage in the Emerald Tablet. The Bible and other writings traditionally render this as “on earth, as it is in heaven.” It means that your outer world is a reflection of your inner world.

Whatever is presented to you in your life can inform how you think and feel on the inside. Likewise, what you think and feel is reflected back to you in your real- ity. In this sense, you manifest your life based on how you think and feel.

This year’s Circles of Men Retreat is will explore the theme “As Within, So Without.”

Join this circle of men as we discover and expand male spirituality, increasing awareness of our inner worlds and outer worlds. In addition, we have the opportunity to construct the bridge between the two worlds to use them both in powerful, creative ways.

We will create a psychologically safe environment to deepen self-understanding, build healthy bonds with each other, and transcend old limiting beliefs and patterns of action. Growth modalities include: Cognitive and behavioral skills – Depth psychology – Meditation – Group dynamics – Journaling

This is a non-sectarian event open to all who identify as male, to all faiths or none at all.

Humanity Rising represents a movement of people and organizations coming together to take counsel on how to leverage the crisis of the current pandemic into an opportunity for human renewal and increased resilience to future challenges. . The coronavirus has been an unprecedented global event. For the first time in history, virtually everyone everywhere has been challenged by the same illness with consequences that have effectively compelled most infected countries into some form of lockdown. People all over the world are having the same feelings about their wellbeing, the same anxieties about survival, and the same questions about how they are going to rebuild beyond the pandemic. This is true whether you are an individual, a company, an organization, or a country. All of us everywhere at every level are in the same conversation. Everything has been disrupted, everything needs to change. Let us take advantage of this and come together to reshape our world in alignment with a positive vision of the future.
