The Fourth Way
Toronto, Ontario,
Canada
 The Fourth Way: "The Way of the Householder" is a Toronto based community.
Exploring conscious communal living with emphasis on self-healing, we occupy several homes in the downtown core and are in the process of expanding our facilities. Living together presents us with frequent opportunities to explore what comes up in relation to others and to deepen our connections with others and ourselves. We have regular communal meals and facilitated circles once a week. Many of our members also attend a weekly men's group or mixed group facilitated and held by the Toronto Institute of Self Healing. The group gatherings are great fun, 3 hours long and held once a week. We have the opportunity to participate in a monthly weekend intensive held in the country 2 hours north of Toronto.
If you are longing for deeper relationships and friendships with others and would like to explore living in our community contact us.
Our Intention: To grow our inter-dependence and connectivity with others, and to explore consciousness.
