The Six Principles

ADODI NY Logo

SPIRITUALLY GUIDED

We seek guidance
to become grounded in the
Divine Energy
that unites and centers
all our spirits.


HONESTY, OPENNESS AND CLARITY
We communicate thoughts and feelings in a sincere
and concise manner.
This principle also speaks tothe need for developing good listening skills as well as awareness of our bodylanguage.


SENSITIVITY TO FEELINGS
We respectfully acknowledge another person's feelings or point of view with or without necessarily agreeing with it.


CAREFRONTING
We reach out to support and assist each other in a
caring and effective manner.


RESOLUTION
We establish a realistic sense of closure of issues
pertaining to our individual and collective purpose.


THE FIVE A's:
ACKNOWLEDGE,
APPRECIATE,
AFFIRM,
 ACCEPT,
ACHÉ
We believe these five A's
are to be used whenever

we respond to each other
for they enhance the development of the spirit.

It should be noted that
ACHÉ is the concept of

power and empowering
that reinforces the other
four A's and is the

key dynamic by which this sixth principle functions.

Continuing like years past, the price remains at a low stimulus package friendly and unbeatable price of $20.00 per person!! Can't beat dat, yo!

We really look forward to seeing you on Sunday, July 5th, 2009.

(Founded in Philadelphia, PA in 1986
by ADO Clifford Rawlins)
IN OUR 23rd YEAR!


ADODI, the plural of ADO,
is a Yoruba word that describes a man who "loves" another man.
More than just a description of partners in Africa, the ADODI
of the tribe are thought to embody both male and female ways
of being and were revered as shamans, sages and leaders.


Who is ADODI?
ADODI is a community of men of color who affirm their
African lineage and love of men. Our purpose is to foster and
encourage the self-discovery, validation, empowerment and
liberation of all members of our diverse community.


Where do we meet?
Every 2nd Saturday of every month @
Audre Lorde Project
85 South Oxford Street
(between Fulton Street & Lafayette Avenue, next to the church)
in the Fort Greene section of Brooklyn, NY
4:00PM - 7:00PM
A potluck dish is welcomed but not required - An open heart is!

DIRECTIONS:
"C" train to Lafayette Avenue; "G" train to Fulton Street;
 D, N, Q, R, 2, 3, 4, 5 trains to Atlantic Avenue/Pacific Street
Buses: B25, B26, B38 or B52 to closest stop to S.Oxford Street
