Thanks. Unfortunately, at 75, I don't think I'm up to the task of being a leader of a group, but I enjoy being a member. I participate in monthly meetings with a group centered around the ideas of Daniel Quinn. I highly recommend him, especially his novel, 'Ishmael,' a gorilla who communicated telepathically with a man who goes on to be a proselytizer of Ishmael's ideas. Anyway, I hope you and/or your group take a look at some of my other essays, which are focused on the necessity of us returning to our ancient (pre-Civilization) understandings and modes of living, since 'soon' industrial civilization will collapse, when the resources on which it depends become sufficiently depleted. Believe it or not, using that lens helps make sense of the various forms of trauma we have suffered and continue to suffer, in hierarchical, patriarchal societies that have almost destroyed the primal instincts which allowed us to succeed as a species for thousands of generations. Anyway, I wish you and your group all the best. Peace.
