"It's not for sissies you know. Dining alone. Gotta be made of some pretty stern stuff to do that." Justin Matisse in the movie "Hope Floats" When Harry Connick Jr. uttered those words to Sandra Bullock in the film he was not championing the qualities of solitary diners, he was bemoaning them. And he was right. Eating alone is like preparing the food without seasoning. Its bland. So why do it? Conversation is a condiment. It makes a meal savory. We talk, share news, tell stories and plan other o …

From the outside it looks like we are holding hands, singing the Names of God from all around the world, and doing easy round dance forms. From the inside we are having quick and radical shifts in awareness as an entire group. The Persian poet Rumi speaks of "the Wine of Love". Jesus speaks of "the Peace that passes understanding." The Buddha speaks of "the Emptiness", not as absence but as potentiality. These and more are available, not as poetic ideas but as direct experience.  Easy and direc …

WHY THIS GROUP: As a 48 year old lesbian I am committed to maintaining my health through healthy life choices and physical activity. For several months I have been on a quest to find other women my age who are active. For the most part this search has taken me outside my circle of intimate friends, and I have connected to a small group of wonderful women who also enjoy moving their bodies. However, I keep thinking there must be other women our age who like to play. After all, we are all so norma …

This Meetup group is AdventureHER. We encourage and facilitate adventures for women in the outdoors.

Get together with other local Veterans, Reservists and National Guard Soldiers (including Air Force, Marines, Navy and Coast Guard) and do outdoor activities with others who know what it's like to serve or have a family member who serves. It is a place to meet other Veterans somewhere other than a bar or club - I don't mean to imply that the VFW and American Legion are just bars or clubs - they do much more than just provide a place for Vets to get together and toss back some cold ones, and I'm …

This group features weekly games which embody our key concepts: 1. Intensity.  Games should encourage you to push yourself to your physical limits.  Most games will covertly employ the HIIT style of physical training.  I say covertly, for while your muscles might be screaming out like they do during any good exercise, you will be far too focused on capturing the flag to notice. 2. Creativity.  Sometimes unconventional, out-of-the-box thinking is damn near a requirement to winning.  Think "Ender' …

I have the perfect campground for starters with lots of activities and plenty of stars to gaze at all night. We can go from there. I'm pl …
