On Common Ground. Pathways meetings make men's soul work available in New York City and at low cost. We believe we men are always doing Soul Work every minute of life. We only have two choices: to know it and live it well or not to know it and do it hit or miss. We follow a very gentle ritual where every man is essentially invited to experience himself, his own pathway to growth. These meetings are always there, same time, same place, every other Tuesday (starting Mar 14 - except July 4). You can count of it. Meetings are often fun and are a great way to discover real friends in the Village of Brothers - a great group of men. Come join us. All men welcome. Peer Lead. 7-9pm Cost $5. Doors locked at 7:15p. 939 Eight Ave (bn 55th & 56) Studio 4A Rind Bell 307 to enter. Take elevator to Fourth Floor, Studio 4A. New York johnguarn@aol.com or 212.265.0584
