… However, we may refer or help promote non-film/speaker events to increase awareness.  And, as described above, it is a goal to increase activism and volunteering in general, by increasing awareness and connections and by becoming inspired by films and speakers. Although the meetup group does not have any particular religious affiliation, some events may be sponsored by a religious organization and may be held at, for example, a church, since it is common for some religious organizations to be pa …

… In a moment of awareness we realize that we have access to a full range off feeling states that have always been here, but we had forgotten how to access them. It takes courage to let go of the thoughts and emotions that we habitually experience as ourselves. How do we let go? First we must find the courage to explore our habitual feeling states. We practice being courageous by developing new feeling states from which we experience our own awareness. From this safe place we can let go of our fam …

Buckthorn Bashers is intended to be a volunteeer organization that will help state parks and other organizations interested in habitat restoration in the area control some of the invasive tree and plant species on their land. Buckthorn, is a non-native tree and perhaps the biggest threat to our forests as it often gets so thick that it chokes out almost all the native trees that are trying to grow in the understory. Here are a couple of links that you can check out to learn more about buckthorn. …

   I am owner of an online tea shop that was established to enjoy, explore and learn about this great drink as well as provide events/venues to educate others about the wonders of the many delicious, aromatic and splendid loose leaf teas from all around the world. We say "Good friends sharing good tea." I feel too many Americans think of the old bag-in-a-box teas that our grandmas would pull down from the cupboard when we had a cold, then squeeze lemon into the bitter black liquor. One of my goa …

As a transplant from Seattle, I've been missing my poetry workshop mates and I haven't discovered a group on here or in this city that quite fits. I'd like to have a place that provides opportunity for serious workshopping of poetry, as well as helps fellow poets write new poetry and have a safe place to share their poetry and experiment. How this workshop would run: Groups shouldn't exceed 5 people, so if there were more folks then we would split into smaller groups. Everyone, if they so choose …

Well, let's get together once a month for dinner or happy hour or something and commune together about the crazy right. The only …

We hike local parks near the Twin Cities.  Our hikes are somewhat more strenuous/ rigorous than those offered by most of the area meetup groups.  The group is social, but also fitness-oriented.  The pace is moderate, but everyone is expected to keep up. Until the foliage gets thick later in the spring, most of our hikes will include some off-trail travel (i.e., through the woods). We try to build something novel into each hike, which could be off-trail, going somewhere completely new to us, hiki …

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 much, much more are available, not as poetic ideas but as direct experience. Word …

This group is a book club that reads books focused on compassionate living, making the choice to reduce suffering for ourselves and other beings. The choices we make day to day can have effects that we are not aware of, effects that affect the quality of life for all.

This book club is a great place to join like-minded people in our efforts to educate ourselves and explore the factual, philosophica …
