How do we integrate the Internet with our Inner-Net?
The Internet has become humanity's invisible central nervous system that connects us and can sometimes overwhelm us. Yet, the most important technology is within us - our brain, body, and consciousness. A fast-paced career in the hi-tech industry in combination with a deep yoga and meditation practice have allowed me to integrate my inner and outer technologies. Wisdom from my yoga mat and meditation cushion guide my professional career and, in turn, my professional life provides the perfect classroom to deepen my wisdom practice.

 The MWC Aim
The aim of the monthly Men's Wisdom Circle is to encourage men of all cultures, faiths and backgrounds to come together as brothers to explore, deepen, share and enjoy the spiritual beings that we are. Through these conversations we will break down barriers that exist within and between us so that we can play our part in creating a peaceful, authentic and loving world.
The MWC Vision
Eventually, we expect self-awareness programs for men to become just as common and popular as women's programs. Men's need for spiritual sustenance is becoming more and more apparent and such programs provide a wonderful opportunity for men to come together to share and support each other and develop their spirituality in personal relationships, profession and faith.
We look forward to the time when all men will once more recognize and value their innate goodness and will play their part in healing the world. We welcome comments and dialogue with other men, who are interested in this important area.
Please visit our blog for an illustration of past circles. If you're interested in participating as a guest presenter or need more information about the MWC, please contact Mario Reyes at (415) 922-4412.
