Many of us had to figure out what it means to be a man by ourselves. We grew up without healthy role models for what it means to be a man in 21st Century American culture. Our teachers, the men in our lives, often seemed as confused and lost as we felt. Some of the messages we learned about being a man seem to be doing us more harm than good. Have you ever wondered if there were another way? Have you ever felt that you had some work to do on yourself, but didn't have the support or direction …

Meet others who love the classical music! Attend concerts and events at locations throughout Chicagoland! We recently had a new leadership group more in.

I am going to endeavor to make every event I attend one in which the group is easy to find and there is social time planned before and/or after the concert. Stay tuned, and please provi …

From the founder: ""Shamanism" has become a fad today. People are coming out of the woodwork claiming they are shamans and have this training, this degree, this "magical belt".  Some will falsely claim that their "brand" is more valid than others because it comes from a certain place or culture. Some are indeed the "real deal", and I won't discount them. However, many are not. Often I believe, from reading their works and articles, they are simply regurgitating old material stolen from other aut …

We will try each of these coffee shops 1. BRIDGEPORT COFFEE HOUSE The coffee-roasting operation on the corner of Morgan and 31st Street is a point of pride for Bridgeport and a source of jealousy for almost every other neighborhood. Housed in a prototypically warm-toned, wood-heavy coffeehouse (only without the fleabag couches and drum-circle vibe), Bridgeport Coffee sets itself apart by roasting its own beans and brewing them with levels of respect usually reserved for presidents. The pour-ov …
