Personal Practice Development Collaborative

I mean to get the following up on craigslist if the free internet connection lasts.

Every so often I get to thinking along these lines--serving others in a counselor-type therapeutic role. The basic idea behind this (instructor of meditation: "more peace, more patience") came to me during a long still-sit at the Kroc Center earlier today--here modified and made broader, more collaborative, more informal.

Personal Practice Development Collaborative

[Post in services: therapeutic, personal: activity partners @craigslist

Or neighborhood door-to-door, newsletter.

and on web site.]

Areas where I need help:

- eating for nutrition, nourishment; not to pass the time. . .
- helping, serving, being useful to others.

Areas of experience, ongoing inquiry:

- fitness
- diet
- philosophy / nature of meaning
- identity / nature of self & society
- relationship, communication for cooperation
- mental hygeine / training / meditation
- the cycles of an engaging day/week/month/life

I'd like to help, perhaps by being a sounding board for anyone who could use one. I prefer to interact in person, but for now over the phone and via email are good too.

This is meant to be a collaboration between us,
and I am also doing this to be of service: at the very least you may offer me the opportunity to be useful to someone.

The goals of our interacting can be to change our lives, habits, views in order to live more meaningfully, with more fun, with more grace, with useful service to others-- (or perhaps you can think of a statement that better interests you).

I'm located in the SDSU area/Rolando--

I am infrequently employed as a challenge course/teambuilding facilitator. When in SD, I often stay with my 92-year-old Grandma. I enjoy leaving often to go camping, however. I have a driver's license but get around on foot or public transit.

If you mind me writing about parts of our interactions--I won't. Occasional incoherent blogging seems to be part of my practice (fo-rest.blogspot.com).

How we might interact:

- you can ask me questions
- we can share our thoughts on the area of interest--for example we can share our ideas and habits related to eating, exercise, meditation, how to help, etc.
- we can show each other different practices/exercises we find helpful

If you would like to collaborate on the development of lives, views, and personal practices, please let me know.

Peace,
Colin
