This meetup group is for those who would like to enjoy the company of a friendly group while experiencing the natural beauty and historical and cultural sites that the Hudson Valley has to offer. We are a group who loves to be outdoors but prefer our outings slow-paced and leisurely. We go on ‘ambles’ or 'meanders' more often than we 'hike'; on the water, we 'cruise' rather than 'paddle'. This group explores parks, gardens, fairs, festivals, historical sites and quaint villages in Orange, Ulster …

The focus of Meditation in Motion is on waking up to who you truly are, to be free of the constraints of time, so you can move fearlessly in time. What will be sharing are disciplines that are really meditations in movement. Movement that does not add more stress to body and mind, but brings them into a relaxed and concentrated state. Meditating, for most people, it’s sitting still or lying down. We can meditate even when we are walking, eating, drinking, and engaging in sports. But there is one …

I have a Maltese mix, we call him a Meekapoo, who loves to be in the company of other dogs. He really doesn't discriminate against larger dogs, he loves them too, but I can be more relaxed when he's around the little guys, so he doesn't get inadvertently trampled on (it's happened before!). I'm sure there are other local small dog owners who want to get together, take a walk on the North County Trailway, or a stroll through FDR park or just a spin around the hood with some company. This is purel …

Our group is different than many. One reason we have so many activities is because we allow each of our assistant organizers to take the initiative to set up their own "meetups" Sometimes we have as many as 4 on one day. Our members shouldn't feel that they should attend any or all all of them. It's about CHOICE. Look at what we offer and do what suits you. Yes, each assistant organizer would love for you to attend the event they post. But YOU should attend the ones that are most convenient fo …

Grown-a** folks welcome!!

This will be a place where we can meditate …
