Bend Reality is Growing - An Update
This issue is a very down-to-earth progress report that includes an invitation you might wish to consider.
There are now three Bend Reality cohorts: two that are virtual, and one meets in person; it is based in Bend, Oregon.
The two virtual cohorts meet once a month for 75 minutes. Everyone is already leading an expansive life, and our purpose is simple: to support each other in being expansive. Why is this necessary or even helpful? Because the world around us can be contractive and your environment always wins.
I facilitate our conversations, which so far have been free-flowing, deep and meaningful. Members are invited to put forward questions, challenges or opportunities they are facing… and to ask for guidance.
Our in-person cohort is a bit different. Our first initiative is to devote one gathering per member so that person can tell their story: what role does expansion play in their life… what kind of person do they want to be… how are they growing and where are they on their journey?
Since we want all members to be present for each story, scheduling is proving to be a bit interesting and we seem to be meeting roughly once every six weeks. But no matter… our goal is to see each other in all our nuance and complexity, and we will take the time needed to do so.

I am open to creating additional cohorts, if there is sufficient interest. You are welcome to contact me to volunteer, if you fit this description:
You already lead a life that leans towards expansion (please see exhibit below)
You want to be even more open, positive, kind and curious
You want to go deep with other supportive and curious people
BTW, there’s no cost or obligation with these cohorts. If you have questions or suggestions, please reach out.
