Why have a Toronto-GTA Paleo Enthusiasts group? The high carb, low-fat fad has led us into the greatest period of dietary epidemics ever! Civilization is the sickest it has ever been.

The guidance and teachings I have humbly received through Rumi’s poems have made the ‘good times’ in my life that much sweeter, and have been a source of solace and comfort in times of challenge. Rumi calls me to remember that I sometimes lose touch with my origin in the Divine Source/God/Spirit/the Beloved, and reminds me that it is this Source through which we are all connected …

The main purpose of this meetup is for me to make new friends (hopefully that includes you!).
