Human Development Club

Last Updated:  25 March 2008

PURPOSE:  The purpose of the club is to provide an opportunity for members to develop their highest potentials by offering a lending library, lectures, workshops, and discussions on a wide variety of subjects including philosophy, psychology, relationships, mental/physical health, the arts, science, and spirituality.  The club provides lectures by speakers who have distinguished themselves in one of the above fields.  We also have periodic meetings of smaller groups who wish to put emphasis on inquiring into some special aspect of the human condition.

Lunchtime Meditation Group: 
We are setting up a lunchtime meditation group.  Ann Reynolds, Jim Carroll, and Eric Hamburg have the lead on this.  Watch for further announcements regarding when and where.  If you have experience in this area and want to teach, or if you just want to learn different ways to meditate ... please contact Ann, Jim, or Eric.

Book Discussion Group:  We are thinking about organizing a "book discussion group" that would meet weekly to discuss a book that the group would read as we go along.  Please submit suggestions for books and indicate if you would be willing to lead/facilitate the group discussions.

NEW:  Discussion Group on The Nature of Personal Reality by Jane Roberts.  This is one of the early Seth books.  It is packed with insights and should provide wonderful material for discussion.  We'll meet every other week starting on 19 August.  There are 22 chapters.  We plan to read and discuss one chapter every two weeks.

        Next meeting is on 16 September to discuss Chapter 2.  Location is D3/116.  

We met a few times to discuss this book, but it has been awhile.  We also discussed Tomorrow's God by Neale Donald Walsch.  Other suggestions are welcome.
