So, I actually do have friends who care about self-actualization.  They come upon this from very different directions, mostly trying to solve their psychological problems. With one of them I've been discussing Leo's videos on an ongoing basis (but on a very intellectual level), another started meditating a few weeks ago and experiences all kinds of weird effects on his life, my boyfriend has been doing bufo ceremonies recently, one is starting her practice as a yoga teacher, and yet another friend of mine is an unstoppable bundle of creativity and (absolutely unstructured) spiritual experiences, I myself am trying to get and keep my meditation habit going and contemplating life purpose. I do feel a demand for company and mutual support on the journey, so I've decided to set up a facebook group called "personal development meetups" and invited all the people in and I'd like to have those who are interested to meet once or twice a month and share their advances and setbacks, support each other, and just exchange experience to gain perspective. I'd also like to try/practice leading group meditation exercises, teaching the little i know to see if I enjoy that. I don't see myself as leader of the group as I'm certainly not the 'most advanced', nor in any other way an authority, but I've put myself into the position of the organizer, so I feel some responsibility for the structure and I want the project to fly. I want this to be enjoyable and useful. Since the people mostly don't know each other (though there is a core to the group), and certainly have very different personal goals, the group dynamics may be a bit difficult. And, I've never organized a regular meet-up group. Any tips from people who are experienced in leading others on how to facilitate an environment that's creative but cohesive and helpful? Any common do's and dont's?
