A Quest for Community

A personal journal of my first journeys to Damanhur & Auroville.

Thursday, October 02, 2003

During my years of spiritual seeking I've been involved with several pretty male oriented groups, including: the Gurdjieff Work, Scientology, Budhism, TM, Sufi Sam, est, the Landmark Forum, and most recently Damanhur. These groups were all led by charismatic male figures with a tendency toward dividing the world into "us and them" combined with systems of top-down hierarchical control, a style that I find myself less attracted to at this point in my life. Somewhat ironically it was an experience at Damanhur that woke me up to the more feminine domain of the "Goddess."
