Catalyst of Friends

[MangusKhan]

I've been thinking about my friends, the various catalysts they offer me and the various reflections of myself which they contain. Then I got curious, what kind of friends do my fellow seekers on this forum have? What kind of catalysts do they offer you, and what reflections do you see in them? What do you think the grander purpose of your particular friend group is, in relation to your spiritual development?

You can post an overview of your group dynamics, a particular friend who is especially challenging/rewarding, a certain experience, or whatever. I would love to know. I'm especially interested in individuals and groups which have given you profound, moving or challenging experiences.

Cheers.
