We can laugh with others as we learn more about ourselves. We've been trained, traumatized and socialized out of the natural spontaneity of our spirit. Improv takes us out of our habitual interactions, time frames, structures, and ways of being and delivers us back into the fully alive NOW. Learning to feel comfortable in the unplanned flow - letting go of controls and judgements and surrendering to the moment - opens us up to our inner creative wellspring and nurtures our spirit.

This means facing our fears, forgiving and loving ourselves, and developing the focus to follow our passions. Acting from this place of Self, we find the power to serve our beloveds, families, community, and world.

This year’s Men’s Gathering will focus on taking up responsibility for our own lives. As always, the Shalom men’s community will serve as a loving container for this vital exploration.

People of all backgrounds have found it to be a terrific way to identify and work through the unhealthy patterns that can sabotage our best efforts. By fostering a compassionate exploration of the intricate network of the diverse dimensions of the inner self, the Big Heart process empowers participants to live richer, fuller lives.

Big Heart is a novel technique of self exploration that combines tools of western psychology with the teachings of eastern non-dual traditions.  Participants in this non-denominational process emerge with the realization that they now can answer their most pressing questions about their lives with a greater level of compassion and wisdom than they previously thought possible.

There is no preparation or training needed in order to participate in Big Heart.  Life itself has provided all the preparation you need.
