The SSTT-MIT (San Shen Tan Tien – Metaphysical Internal Technology.)

We often hear these days that women are going to change the world and that we're the ones we’ve all been waiting for. But, we have to change ourselves in order to change the world. Entrenched patterns in our psyches and culture that go back generations too often dog our attempts to move beyond the status quo. Even with the breakthroughs of the last fifty years, old impulses, desires and beliefs still largely dictate our identities as women. While each one of us bears the weight of history, we al …

Divided though we are as a country, we're generally in agreement about the state of our union—it's not good. We also generally agree on a big part of why that is: our system is corrupt. By and large, our politicians are subservient not to the people, but to the corporations, unions, and wealthy donors who bankroll their campaigns. Our legislation reflects not what's in the best interest of average Americans, but rather the best interests of Exxon Mobil or Goldman Sachs. A government "of the peop …

Dating for African American women in LA is HARD! I've been taught when we came here in the hulls of boats the men became women and the women became men. One of the many benefits of being feminine is being cherished and protected. We were neither, so we had to learn how to fight. Choosing to be vulnerable, sexy and respecting to attract a masculine, successful cherishing man can feel life threatening. This group for us, teaches you, supports you, and gives you the 'how to' even when you are afra …
