This is an event we are organizing in conjunction with the Worldwide Photo Walk. The goal of this 2012 Photo Walk in Graham, NC is to find things of photographic interest around the square and it’s off shoots. Simple as that! Lots of historic interest as well as people of interest around the square. I was the Photo Walk leader in Burlington three years ago where we had a nice turn out of around 35 photographers. It ended at Zach’s Hotdogs where we took a look at some of the shots taken on that d …

We moved our family of three to Cary from the Finger Lakes Region of NY in May 2012. We are gentle, attached, semi-crunchy parents to our amazing and active two year old daughter. After attending a few other mommy and me group meetups, I realized they were not a great fit.  We parent by instinct, practice co-sleeping, full term breastfeed, baby wear, avoid toxic products and plastic and eat a mostly whole, organic (when possible) unprocessed diet which are not mainstream and apparently these thi …

This group welcomes all runners of different paces, but what sets the Turtles & Hares aside from other running groups is that the majority do not run faster than 9 minute miles, and many run 10-15 minute miles and slower. So if you've ever felt a little intimidated by those other running groups that list the "slow" group at 8 minute miles then this is the group for you! So what is this group all about? The Turtles & Hares encompass a wide range of running styles which include; straight running, …

My yoga class is first of all, fun. I find that adults stick with an exercise or stress release activity, like yoga, if they are enjoying themselves and feeling the benefits right from the start. Every class we concentrate on the areas of the body that my students say need attention that day, right away.  If you have a sore neck or shoulders, tell me right before we start class and I will address that. Many of my students have sore hips and lower back muscles because they sit a lot during the da …

This is for a group for people who have been in any of the Tony Robbins' live events and crave the on-fire human spirit (love and connection) you experienced there afterwards.

We need to walk on fire many times after the live events. The purpose of this group is to give helping hands to each other on our journey to an am …

"I decided to start this group because I have found that discussing my condition with others is very helpful, as well as hearing similar experiences from others. The idea of this group will be to encourage people to speak out without fear of judgment, or reproach; to gain empathy and to provide support and comfort to those who suffer from bipolar disorder here in the Triangle. It is also a great way to develop lasting friendships, and to gain a feeling of being part of a community."        ~ Chr …
