This group is for both the experienced pole walker and those curious about what we're doing out there with our poles. It's always more fun to walk with a group and we love to introduce newbies to our favorite way of walking. Come along to enjoy the fitness, fun and rhythm of the poles! We'll explore lots of trails throughout the metro area and beyond. There's usually extra poles in the trunk of my car so you don't have to have your own to join us.

I started this group because I'm tired of feeling awkward in other moms' groups where childloss is not understood.  I'm tired of grieving silently.  I'm tired of pretending I only have two children (instead of 3) in order to make others feel more comfortable.

Bereaved Mamas is a compassionate and healing group for ber …

Ever hear about the Art Salon of Paris in the 1800's and New York in the early 1900's. Our artist friends agree that we need a place today to gather, discuss the arts, show current work and reflect on past artist's work. It is an experiment, testing to see whether the topics that intrigue us have meaning and significance beyond a select few, and seeking to create a time/space within which we can stir a lively, rigorous discussion about the state of art - local, national and international - yours …

This is a group for women who want to get together for a variety of activities that, while different in nature, will all lead to self-growth.

Another meeting might be a meditatio …

The Center for Changing Lives of Lutheran Social Services initially provided us with a meeting space. Advertising through Meet-u …
