Who Are We?

Most of our membership is derived from two Bay Area communities, called respectively The Rhythm Society and The Community.

The Rhythm Society

The Rhythm Society arose from a group with diverse backgrounds to create opportunities for spiritual exploration, movement, celebration and community. We welcome people of all faiths, or of no faith at all, to participate in this experiment.

The Rhythm Society has a twofold purpose:

• We create space for direct, experiential forms of spiritual practice. Recognizing that divine rhythm is everywhere, the Rhythm Society celebrates spirit through music, dance, meditation and play. Familiar traditions express our identity; new explorations evolve it. The Rhythm Society encourages each person to develop their own spiritual path.
• We cultivate community in which we can play out the daily life implications of insights gained from primary religious experience. Our spiritual, social and business meetings call upon us to balance our individual desires with the goal of harmony among ourselves, our neighbors, and the world.

We are One in the Dance!

The Community

The Community is a network of people, coordinated and aligned on the values of abundance, playfulness, authenticity and transformation.

Our community is made up of leaders. We encourage and support each other in such areas as personal growth, financial abundance, radical honesty, artistic creation, social activism, spiritual exploration and sexual expression, living lives that fulfill our heartfelt passions.

We live a sensual lifestyle and are unlimited by traditional paradigms of love and relationship. At play in the field of relating, we create new forms that satisfy our emotional, physical, and spiritual desires. We are artists and life is our medium.

We embrace the darkness and light of life, and honoring this paradox allows us to be fun-loving, joyous spirits who are always learning and growing. Happiness is not our goal but our path, and our guiding principle is Gratitude.
