Geez Article
Check out an article in geez about New Direction here. Here’s a bit about geez: We’ve set up camp in the outback of the spiritual commons.

A place for wannabe contemplatives, front-line world-changers and restless cranks. A place where the moon shines quiet, instinct runs mythic and belief rides a bike (or at least sits on the couch ente
