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, …

Welcome ~ to the NCVC "If you find yourself drawn here for some 'odd' reason...if you possesses a genuinely open mind combined with a deep unexplained passion to know more...and if you are close to walking through the door but have yet to find the key ~ then perhaps, just perhaps...you may have found the door to home." The NCVC has been in place since 2009. It was first advertised on myspace receiving a fairly good NC interest. The NCVC has since moved with the rest of the world towards facebo …

This group is for those interested in taking meditation walks/hikes on nearby trails, greenways and labyrinths; those interested in combining nature + spirituality + movement; those who might consider nature their religion.

Most walks will include setting intention, walking in silence, and journaling afterwards. I ha …

Do I want to feel better? Would some sort of exercise do me good? Would it help my dog too? ASK YOURSELF: Do I love the pit bull breed? What can I do to help give these dogs a better name? Now. If you answered yes to all of the above questions....you have just found your dream group. Welcome to PIT BULL BOOT CAMP! …

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 …

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.

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 …

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 …
