Have you seen "I Love You, Man"? Kinda like that. Your founder realized that at 40, he had pretty much given up on having guy friends and found himself sitting with "the girls" way too often. Not a gay group - just dudes looking to get out a bit more, and do more than drink & watch sports. Married or not, kids or not - you just need some male bonding. Also - gay dudes welcome - it's just not a dating group. I've always wanted a poker group, but don't play poker. A drum circle without the hippies …

Feeling Arranging is a primitive form of Shamanism, which is nature based and very ancient. It’s about finding our original self through arranging our feelings. This group is for the adventurous and the fearless. Feeling Arranging is uniquely different from the shamanism and healing methods we know such as journeying, soul retrieval and meditation. We use darkness as a positive force to heal ourselves and to connect with our ancestors and nature. Like a seed needs a dark place to incubate before …
