About this Event
Join your brothers in supportive fellowship for an evening of discussion and meditation.
This is NOT a ‘therapy’ group! It is a personal development group for men. The Men’s Circle is a coming together of men from different walks of life to share the burdens and blessings of being men. This is less about “finding yourself,” and more directed at “creating yourself.”
In our discussions, we will explore the process of acting productively on our emotions instead of burying or redirecting them. Through this lens, we will look inside ourselves to find forgiveness, understanding and purpose. By learning how to clarify and state our wants and needs as men, each of us creates the foundation to build a more successful and fulfilling life.

HOSTED BY: AWAKE Oneness Tribe, J. Currie, Tim Garrity & The Gathering Lighthouse
J. CURRIE: As a student of both Eastern and Western Wisdom Traditions, Jay has traveled the globe in search of Spiritual Light. His travels have led him to many monasteries, ashrams and temples in every corner of the Earth, meeting people and exchanging knowledge.
His adventure highlights traveling through 40+ countries include: driving 18,000 miles from Cape Town, South Africa to Cairo, Egypt (crossing the entire continent of Africa), hitchhiking from China to Germany, backpacking the Great Wall of China, hitchhiking across Canada, joining a SCUBA survey of sunken World War II shipwrecks in the Philippines, hitchhiking the continent of South America (South to North), climbing to Mt. Everest Basecamp (w/ the French summit team), hiking the Appalachian Trail and visiting all 50 US States.
He is the Author of The Frugal Nomad, available in bookstores worldwide. More Information available:
Tim Garrity: Is a 52 year old Illinois native. For the past 30 years he has been active in the Zen Buddhist tradition and pursuing traditional earth wisdom via the Stone Peoples lodge ceremony.
As a teen, Tim was sucked into the neo-Nazi movement and it is only through the power of love, and reggae music that he was able to escape the dark gravity of the racist American subculture. He has become a firm believer in the power of transformation, for he himself has made drastic transformation in his own life.
That transformation took him from growing up with learning disabilities and graduating high school without the ability to read, to earning multiple Master's Degrees and becoming a professional educator. He has spent the past 25 years serving others as a special education teacher. Tim believes education plays a vital role in helping people make deep and meaningful changes in their lives.
