Science of the Mind provides a forum for those interested in the foundations of awareness: the structure of the brain, the brain/mind connection, awareness, consciousness, cognition, language, memory, learning, interior experience, altered states, and illusion. Where does "brain" end and "mind" begin? How can we understand consciousness and self-awareness? Our discussions may also touch on practices such as meditation and yoga, although the focus of the group is not metaphysics. Join other "curi …

Want to meditate but can't sit still? For most of us, the image of meditation is sitting still, doing nothing, and stopping the mind from thinking. This seems almost impossible! And yet we yearn to find relaxation, awareness, and self-acceptance - which is what the state of meditation is! That is why you will find both "active" and "passive" meditations being offered at the World of Meditation meetup group. With active meditations, instead of sitting still, you will experience a variety of activ …

… When we take in a breath without awareness, it also causes us to be unaware of feeling.  Our breath in is like an afterthought and we don't even notice ourselves breathing and we don't notice the communications of the body, or the sensations as a reaction to our environment, either. Vivation teaches us how to feel sensations in the body, so that we can learn from them and be our happiest, most creative, most loving, joyful, and compassionate selves.  It is very difficult to breath in consciously …

Meet other local people who are interested in an exchange of ideas and information regarding the study of dreams, synchronicity (meaningful coincidence) and imagination. Using Robert Moss' book "The Three 'Only' Things" as a starting point, we'll explore how to take these marginalized dimensions of life seriously, using them to increase self-awareness and enhance our sense of meaning and purpose. Clarissa Pinkola Estes tells us: "Asking the proper question is the central action of transfor …

To lead effectively in today's complex world requires a higher level of both inner awareness and interpersonal skills. Today’s leaders no longer act from traditional positions of authority. They encounter a growing diversity of worldviews, values, assumptions, languages and challenges in an interwoven, globally-informed economy. Navigating these diverse worldviews, especially as they continue to evolve and interact into new forms, takes a special kind of awareness. The purpose of this group is …

Welcome to the Midweek Hiking Meetup Group. As the name implies, hikes will be offered only on weekdays, never on Saturdays or Sundays.  If you are retired (like me), have some weekdays off, or just get sick a lot on sunny work days, then this is the group for you. I will concentrate on day-hikes in the Cascade Mountains along the I-90 corridor and also Mt. Rainier.  These areas are way too crowded on weekends and are best enjoyed in the relative peace and quiet of a weekday. Most hikes will be …

This group was birthed March 7, 2009 out of my silent scream, "What is happening to America?" I thought that I was alone. I had to do something; had to connect with others. Our first Meetup was on the 13th for Glenn Beck's first address to millions of those who thought they were alone in tsunami of progressive propaganda. GOALS FOR US: The goals are simple but require focus and dedication COMMUNICATE - We want to verbally and spiritually connect with others who are sick of the destructive prog …
