It is the Shambhala view that every human being has a fundamental nature of goodness,warmth and intelligence. This nature can be cultivated through meditation, following ancient principles and it can be further developed in daily life, so that it radiates out. In the course of our lives this goodness, warmth and intelligence can easily become covered over by doubt, fear and egotism. The journey of becoming fully human means seeing through our fear and egotism and waking up to our natural intelli …

This is a group for chaps and chapettes with either facial hair, or a great love of it, to get together and socialise.

If anyone would like to schedule meetings in other locales please join this group and we can make that happen using the power of MeetUp.

The initial reason for setting up this group was to provide a better home for the Social-Movie-Making that started in the Wellington Social Movie Group. This group is for anyone who enjoys that kind of thing, but doesn't want to get too serious about it. Priorities for the group will be 1) Fun 2) maybe learn something (by doing) 3) finish something (but only if the first two priorities are met). I'm hoping we'll be able to do some related stuff as well, such as DIY improv workshops.
