No ritual, chanting, reading ... just on fire with holy script within …

Hello, Thanks for checking out this meetup. I decided to create this group because community is important to me and I, and some friends of mine, believe there are many of us lesbian, queer, and sexually fluid women out there who value spiritual connection, compassion, psychological and emotional depth, non-judgment and open-heartedness that would enjoy meeting each other. My intention for this meetup is to provide a place where a diverse group of women who come from a variety of spiritual paths/ …

Anyone can plan an event! Anyone in the group is welcome (and encouraged!!!) to schedule an event. In keeping with the theme of the group, pr …

Living Skeptically started as Drinking Skeptically in Berkeley, but since the creator of the group doesn't drink, it needed to expand. Living Skeptically in Berkeley is for hosting gatherings of skeptics, atheists, freethinkers, and doubters in and around Berkeley, CA. The creator, Ursula, lives in South Berkeley, and likes grilling out in her front yard when it is sunny, taking walks around town and hiking, going to movies, theater, and concerts, and attending social and cultural gatherings. Ba …

This is a group is created to help Black Alumni from the University of California at Berkeley to connect and fellowship. We can get together and connect, hang out and network. MeetUp is just seemed like a really good format to faciliate this. I also think it would be really great for us to get to know and support the current Black Community at Cal. When I was at Cal I didn't really know any alumni and now I am an alumni I find that I don't really know any current students. I think it would be gr …

We're a great group of guys who have come together almost every week/weekend now since August 2012 to explore the various trails--in the hills, by the bay, and in between--that are right here at our doorstep in the East Bay.  No heroic mountaineering, just a good solid regular hike, fun companionship, a bit of adventurous exploring now and then, and on occasion, some socializing over food and drink afterward.  Nothing beats the fresh air, the spectacular landscape and views, and making some new …

This is a group for yogis who are also hikers. We hike, we practice yoga, we meditate, we become friends. Our best sun salutations are in the wilderness where we feel complete and one whole with Mother Earth. Our hikes are challenging but our yoga retreats in the woods and in the mountains are peaceful. Our outings will be in small groups as wilderness and crowds do not go together. I am a member of other meetups and I learned from those experiences. I would like to set up this one differently. …

This group is for the unseen and unexplainable. I'm not talking about UFO's, I'm talking about invisible chronic illness. Actually, this group is for anyone dealing with a chronic illness, invisible or not, and the people close to them. My idea for the group is that we can come together to support each other, hear each others' stories, find empathy from others who have walked a similar path as us, and give each other encouragement and share the wisdom we have learned from living with a chronic i …
