We provide opportunities for backpacking education, trip organization, and backpacker networking. \nBackpacking education: The club helps teach new backpackers about backpacking: hiking self-sustained for consecutive days in a wilderness area carrying all necessary supplies in a backpack. We do this through trips and clinics that provide opportunities for all members, old and new, to continually improve their skills in the safest possible situations.\nTrip organization: The group's volunteer organizers plan a variety of trips throughout the year, from one-night beginners-only trips up to week-long advanced treks out west. Individual organizers choose the location, plan the route, help set up car pools, and take care of other trip logistics. Individual members are responsible for their own gear, their own food, and communicating with the organizer to ensure that everyone is on the same page before and during the trip.\nBackpacker networking: By going on trips and frequenting the various online message boards, members are encouraged to connect with other backpackers who share similar interests, and plan their own trips using the Meetup interface to further enjoy the sport beyond what the Chicago Backpackers organizers can offer.\nWe practice low-impact, leave no trace backpacking. Our trips usually consist of 10 to 14 people to minimize the impact we will have on our favorite locations and new trails, to keep them as fresh as possible for ourselves and other backpackers.\nWhat you can do to help:\nBackpacking with a group provides many benefits, from safety in numbers to sharing essential but easily-shared gear like water filters. The organizers and event hosts volunteer their time and experience to make our trips as safe and smooth as possible, but we cant do everything ourselves. In addition to preparing and carrying your own gear and food, you can help the club and its trips run smoothly by doing a few simple things.\nRead: Until we actually get on the trail, most of the information we have to give you is written down in trip descriptions, emails, and announcements. If you dont read the descriptions, or only read part of an email, you will miss valuable information, which could lead to a poor experience on the trail, or being dropped from a trip.\nCommunicate: If you have questions, ask. If an organizer or event host sends you an email or asks for information, please respond as quickly and as fully as possible. If youre having a difficult time on the trail, speak up. Frequent and clear communication makes trip planning easier, carpooling smoother, and trail hiking safer.\nLend a hand: If you have a car and can drive others to the trailhead, indicate that on the carpool/ ICE information request form sent out before the trip starts. If you dont have a car but are willing to drive, indicate that, as well. While were on the trail, follow Leave No Trace principles. While were in camp, volunteer to get water, gather firewood, etc. Remember that organizers and event hosts are volunteers, and backpacking in a group is a team effort. When we all work together, trips are safer and run more smoothly for everyone.\nThanks, and see you on the trail!\nThe Organizers",https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/1/0/f/highres_461261231.jpeg,461261231,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/1/0/f/600_461261231.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/1/0/f/thumb_461261231.jpeg,event,open,41.889999,https://www.meetup.com/Chicago-Backpackers/,-87.629997,1369,The Chicago Backpackers Meetup Group,10175045,Mary R.,https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/3/d/2/b/highres_267795659.jpeg,267795659,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/3/d/2/b/member_267795659.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/3/d/2/b/thumb_267795659.jpeg,member,4.79,IL,US/Central,Chicago-Backpackers,-18000,public,Backpackers

The rest of the players take on the roles of individual fictional characters and explore that world, often becoming heroes in the story. The story is like a completely interactive choose your own adventure book. Different shaped dice are used to determine the outcome of attempted actions.\nScheduling games of D&D is a little more complicated than just showing up for a game.

I'm Ed Lee, the organizer of this Meetup and you must be reading this because you're crazy about photography in the Big Apple! We welcome all, whether you're a beginner or an experienced pro. We're here to help you improve your photo eye and translate your visions to images you can share with others! Networking and socializing with other photogs is my goal. Field trips in and around metro NYC are but one of the many activities I have planned. Others include interesting and historic sites, gallery hops, classes and speakers and any and everything related to our favorite hobby.\nAs I mentioned, your skill level with a camera is not important! The type of camera you are using is not important as we have photographers with camera phones, film cameras as well as digital.\nThe NY Photo & Safari Meetup group's main focus (pardon the pun) is to go to locations and events in metro New York City to shoot great photographs!\nWe hope to encourage you to get off the couch or leave your computer behind, to pick up your camera and join us for one or many of our upcoming events. If you have always wanted to visit places that you would not go on your own or never thought about to visit. If you want to improve your photography skills by learning from others. If you want to share what you know about photography with others. If you want to do all these things then this Meetup is for you. I try to keep all events at minimum costs or free! \nMy background. I'm retired from my own business, close to 40 years in the custom photolab and studio end of things in Manhattan's former Photo District. With a film background, I migrated to digital in the early '90s and never looked back. Currently, I'm also the President of Park West Camera Club as well a over 30 other Meetup groups (Organizer of 3!) of varying interests. My latest is Day Trading which I do mornings during the week. I'm on my computers almost all the time and keep up with things in the world, trying to share newsworthy items I pick up on the web.\nJoin our group! The only requirements are to have fun, to attend an event once in awhile and to post your photos on our site. Your suggestions and correspondence is always welcome. I've been pretty good and endeavor to reply post haste. \nEd Lee 212-255-9678 <elee950021 at gmail.com>",https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/8/7/a/highres_282171322.jpeg,282171322,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/8/7/a/600_282171322.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/8/7/a/thumb_282171322.jpeg,event,open,40.740002,https://www.meetup.com/NYPhotoSafari/,-74.0,3215,NY Photo & Safari Meetup,1512315,Edward Lee,https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/d/2/9/3/highres_8993907.jpeg,8993907,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/d/2/9/3/member_8993907.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/d/2/9/3/thumb_8993907.jpeg,member,4.49,NY,US/Eastern,NYPhotoSafari,-14400,public,Photographers

We are a group of Spanish speakers, from native speakers to mid-beginners alike, who get together to chat en espaol. We are a member-driven group with everyone pitching in to organize, greet new members and socialize. Here are some monthly events you can expect:\nMid-Week MEGA MEETUP: Every third Wednesday of the month you can expect a regular meetup at Crystal Jade (unless otherwise stated in the event calendar) in downtown SF. This meetup is larger and may have a waiting list at times. These meetups are lively with lots of people meeting and chatting in Spanish while sipping drinks and having some appetizers.\nLA HORA FELIZ: This is a popular bi-monthly meetup usually on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month at Baobab Cafe in the Mission. People come to celebrate the end of the work week and mingle in Spanish in an upbeat, fun, atmosphere. Members often hang around until late. Feeling hungry after all the chatting, propose a dinner plan with your fellow hablantes!\nSpanish Language Workouts: These weekly workshops are designed with the learner in mind interested in improving their speaking. Each workshop is lead by a professional teacher who guides attendees in discussing fun and diverse topics in Spanish. Ideal for mid beginner to intermediate levels. Native speakers always welcome for free! First workshop free for Meetup members (later workshops at a discount for members). You can find these events on the calendar (from time to time) and here: http://abclanguagesf.com/spanish-workouts\nCaminamos y Hablamos en Espaol: Here is a great Meetup if you like the outdoors and prefer a more mellow atmosphere to practice your Spanish in. This meetup generally meets 10am the first Sunday of the month in Tennessee Valley for a leisurely walk while chatting in Spanish. Around 10-20 members usually join in.\nAlmorzamos Juntos: Come join this group for a mid-week lunch where you can practice your Spanish. Meeting once or twice a month this sub-group is a fun way to practice Spanish during your lunch hour.\nGeneral info:\nGROUP MINGLING: Please be open to members entering the meeting. This means if you are already mingling and see a new member, please greet him or her and invite them into your chatting circle. If you are the person arriving, remember that most everyone else, like you, also arrived alone. If it is your first time coming, I highly recommend arriving on time and getting to know people in a smaller setting. If you arrive later it may appear more intimidating, but trust me super easy if you just walk up to anyone, you will see how friendly our members are.\nWHAT SPANISH LEVEL TO EXPECT: Native speakers of Spanish are common in the group as well as intermediate to advanced speakers. Beginners are also welcome and people are super friendly in helping out by speaking slowly and being patient.\nWHAT ATMOSPHERE TO EXPECT: Lively, social, fun! If you are sensitive to noise, you should choose one of the mellower meetups (outlined above). If you prefer mingling with a variety of people, choose a livelier meetup where you are on your feet and moving around.\nPREFER A DIFFERENT STYLE OF MEETUP, location or meeting time? Just let the organizers know and we can make you an Event Organizer and you may put on meetups where and when you like.\nHAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS?

We began in 2003 at Half Price Books in Dallas TX, and then held regular bi-weekly Meetups at Borders Books between 2005-2010 when the chain went out of business, followed by monthly Meetups at Barnes & Noble Bookseller between 2010-2013. That's 200+ Meetups with people like you, plus a bunch of Tarot celebrities, authors, artists, and publishers, scholars, and adventurers.\nIn Oct 2014 I moved our physical meetings to Forest Hills in Queens, NY, to unite Tarot folk from all over the upper northeastern United States. In September 2016 I dropped anchor for the Meetup in Murray Hill, Manhattan, NYC, in my office at Lexington and East 35th Street. New York is full of A-Level presenters and wonderful, brilliant, friendly, amazing students and inquirers.

Many of our members have become good friends and now get together for fun, business, or romance outside the monthly happy hours -- and that's what this is all about: connecting with like-minded Asians in a casual, relaxed atmosphere. Our typical member is Asian and based in the NY metro area, and likely working in the finance, medical, legal, or technology sector. But Asians of all ages and professions (and students 21+) are welcome! Our typical event is at an upscale lounge or event space and usually 300+ Asian professionals show up, with an even amount of Asian men and Asian women. Our members are friendly and chatty, but if you do need an introduction, either Richard or Tiffany would be happy to provide several for you. If you're an Asian professional in the NY metro area, please join our group now! We look forward to seeing you at our next event!\n--\nPlease note that, unless you are offering us a venue or sponsorship, ALL COMMERCIAL SOLICITATIONS ARE IGNORED. To cut down on the amount of email everyone receives, we only email our members regarding NYAPM-related events (this means we will not promote your event -- don't bother asking).",https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/7/4/e/highres_348730062.jpeg,348730062,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/7/4/e/600_348730062.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/7/4/e/thumb_348730062.jpeg,event,open,40.75,https://www.meetup.com/New-York-Asian-Professionals/,-73.970001,8646,New York Asian Professionals Meetup- 8638 Members & growing!,2319868,"Richard L.

You can only enter the park at 103rd and 108th. The best way to get there is to take the 1 local to 103rd Street. Walk West until you see an entrance that takes you down to the fields through the park. After walking down the steps from the street, you will see a path that goes left and another that goes right. Walk down the left path until you see a stone wall and stairs that go down to the fields. From South to North there will be one small soccer field surrounded by a track (red 'A' on map), another field with two softball fields (closer to 103rd/104th st) and another that is a giant soccer field (closer to 106th st). After walking down the steps, you will see the small Soccer field on your left. Start from this Southern-most field and walk North on the path to find our game. If you see no one, the meeting spot is the South side of the large soccer field. This spot is identified on the map below, a small square with little dots around it. On days when we can't find space at Riverside, we will move the game to Morningside Park (West 110th St and Manhattan Ave).\n \n\n \nCENTRAL PARK NORTH MEADOW\nSometimes we play in the middle of Central Park at North Meadow. Getting there is pretty easy, with your choice of either 96th or 103rd street C train. You'll enter the park from the west side at 100th street, where you will Soccer Field #3 located between Softball Fields #4 & #5. For Saturdays we play on field 6 which is closer to 96th street.\nMORNINGSIDE DETAILS\nThe Morningside location is at the corner of 110th Street and Manhattan Avenue. The best way to get there is to take the C local (B on weekdays) to 110th Street. You can also take the 1 train to 110th street at Broadway and then walk East. We will play at the South end of the baseball field parallel to 110th street so that we're not in the way of the baseball/softball games. Riverside will be our backup if for some reason we need to change locations.\n +++ \nOther seasons...\nSPRING/SUMMER (Mar - Aug)\nAs the city warms up we play four times a week:\n- Tuesdays/Wednesdays at 5:30pm, Riverside Park (108th and West End - Big Soccer Field) - Saturdays at 10am, Morningside Park (110th and Manhattan Ave) - Sundays at 12pm, Morningside Park (110th and Manhattan Ave) \nWINTER (Dec - Feb)\nWhen it's cold out it's really important to watch the messages on Meetup.

The goal of permaculture is to care for the earth and each other by creating harmonious and mutually beneficial relationships through observation of and working with the existing patterns of nature. It can be applied in gardens, technology, businesses, homes, communities, groups, or any other designable system. The Chicagoland Permaculture Meetup is one such group that is applying permaculture design to its own development. We see this group as an evolving resource to help facilitate the application of permaculture, its principles, and connection with others who wish to be involved with permaculture in the Chicagoland region. Our Sunday Monthly Meetups give us a social context and allow the group to plan further activities that specifically reflect the needs and desires of the group. Some examples are site visits, study groups, field trips, workshops, permablitzes, or whatever else you can dream up. Check out our calendar for upcoming and past events. We invite you to join us at any of our upcoming events, where you can meet other permaculturists, get a bite to eat, share in the learning or get your hands dirty. In the end we feel that simply learning about permaculture increases awareness of our worlds connectedness and is a step towards sustainability.",https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/d/9/d/highres_458456733.jpeg,458456733,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/d/9/d/600_458456733.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/d/9/d/thumb_458456733.jpeg,event,open,41.919998,https://www.meetup.com/chicagolandpermaculture/,-87.650002,1024,Chicagoland Permaculture Meetup Group,2846525,Milton,https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/3/e/9/1/highres_3256017.jpeg,3256017,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/3/e/9/1/member_3256017.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/3/e/9/1/thumb_3256017.jpeg,member,4.7,IL,US/Central,chicagolandpermaculture,-18000,public,Permaculturists

EVERYONE MAY NOW JOIN THE GROUP EXCEPT THOSE FEW WHO WERE BANNED. Walking or hiking. Meet other local people who are interested in walking or hiking for fitness and learning about San Francisco's history, including its movie history. This walking group is unique. It is primarily a health group with a dash of history talk for flavor. It is for people in average physical shape who need restroom stops and not for athletes or people with serious medical conditions.\nWe keep our group together. We go on many different urban walks, in the best areas, that vary greatly in amounts of climbing and history facts. We walk at a leisurely pace and enjoy the scenery. Sometimes at a walk's end we have an optional dinner together at a fine restaurant, usually Indian, reasonably priced.\nOur walks are usually 5 to 7 miles and might be called urban hiking. Our routes are well planned with good restroom stops properly spaced. We avoid stinky port-a-potties. Though we mainly walk in SF we also walk in Oakland, Piedmont, Sausalito, Berkeley & Alameda.\nWe always take roll and if more than 20 attendees we give all a name tag. Attendance is usually unlimited and has ranged from 1 to 112. Kids and cameras very welcome. Dogs and other pets are not welcome. Also, smoking is not allowed on the walks as this is a health group. Occasionally we visit science and nature places. 99 out of every 100 doctors say JOIN THIS GROUP!\nNEWS: On Saturday, Oct. 28th, we will do our very popular yearly Pre-Halloween Walk by the Greatest Mansions in San Francisco. This goes through the 2 wealthiest neighborhoods in the city, Pacific Heights & Presidio Heights. \nOur group photo was taken July 5th, 2015 at our walk The March to the Sea.\nClick on Photos near the top of the screen to see over 5,000 photos of our walks thanks to scores of our members.

You will need these basic skills to golf with us: (a) able to hit off tee at least 60 yards consistently (b) able to hit it off the ground consistently (without missing often) at least 40 yards; some knowledge of how to hit a chip and pitch shot. So that people can decide if an outing is within their level of expertise, each outing will come with a rating of difficulty: SHORT HITTERS (hits 50-100 yards off tee, new at chipping/pitching), MEDIUM HITTERS (hits 100-150 off tee, fair at chips/pitches), and LONG HITTERS (hits 150 plus off tee, good at chips and pitches). If you are NOT skilled enough to play with us, please take some lessons, then join us. You can take from a pro (see options, in Files on site) or from myself (much cheaper). Files section also has free written lessons. We meet up about bi-monthly to golf and socialize. You can attend one of our meetups, put out an email to the group seeking members interested in playing, or add your name to our golf phone tree (see files section) so that golfers may call you if interested in playing.

Only the mind is in need of healing. PSYCHOTHERAPY: Purpose, Process and Practice, Supplements to A Course in Miracles\nHello, all miracle workers & seekers! We are dedicated teachers and students of A Course in Miracles (ACIM) who are waiting to share miracles with you through our ACIM-based Healing. We ask the Holy Spirit to bring us directly to whatever seed thought is causing your current issues and we share forgiveness and bear witness to the miracles that are happening in all areas of your life. Bring any issue you are facing right now physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, or whatever or just bring your shining spirit, and receive a short session of energy work.\nYou will experience healing by the Holy Spirit through our healers' hands. Together, we create a Holy Triangle, consisting of the Holy Spirit and two brothers (you and a healer), to be the witnesses of miracles together. Together, we can help each other to accept Gods love! After your healing we might whisper to you a brief message that we receive from the Holy Spirit about what is going on in your energy field. Otherwise, we don't talk or discuss ACIM during this meetup event. We share healing quietly instead and provide you with an opportunity to come to rest, reflect, and remember who you truly are, in a supportive, non-judgmental, meditative environment.\nSo, rather than offering your advice, we'd like to offer you an opportunity to experience stillness of mind and peace so that you can return to harmony with your true nature and purpose. Then you will find that rather than needing solutions to problems you will realize that you have no problems except those that you project. We call this spiritual healing but it is not religious nor connected with any church or group. It is simply a practice of meditating together on our true nature and connecting with universal spirit/energy or what you will.\nSchedule:\nMondays from 7 7:40 pm Tuesdays from 7 7:40 pm Suggested donation $20.

The motivating factor is prayer, or asking. What you ask for you receive. But this refers to the prayer of the heart, not to the words you use in praying. Sometimes the words and the prayer are contradictory; sometimes they agree. It does not matter. God does not understand words, for they were made by separated minds to keep them in the illusion of separation. Words can be helpful, particularly for the beginner, in helping concentration and facilitating the exclusion, or at least the control, of extraneous thoughts. Let us not forget, however, that words are but symbols of symbols. They are thus twice removed from reality....

While we continue to focus on small gatherings to learn and teach each other about wine, we have sometimes branched out to have book club discussions or will cook dinner together, go see a film. All have been wine related, so far. As always, your input is encouraged. \nIn 2015 we shifted gears again, and started following a format based on a monthly column written Eric Asimov, wine critic for The New York Times. Coincidently, he alsocalls his monthly column Wine School. He selects a region, does a little write-up, and identifies specific wines to try. After drinking the wines, people go to the newspaper's on-line comments section to have a conversation about what they've learned and liked. We've been drinking our waythrough his column together as a group! In this format, each participant will be expected to read Asimov's monthly wine write-up and bring one bottle of wine recommended in the article. He generally identifies three bottles, and also lists alternates if the three are not available. I find snooth.com and wine-searcher.com helpful in figuring out which wine shops might have the bottle you are looking for. Please make an effort to find the specific bottles listed by Asimov. Be sure to post a comment with which wine you will be bringing so that we can have a variety of bottles. Some bottle duplication is fine when our group is large, but we don't want all the same bottle.\nThe point of this group is to teach and learn from each other. All levels are welcome, though we do want participation in tasting and discussing the wines from all. We keep the group small so we can focus on the wines! Good behavior is a must, as we will be meeting in a private residence.",https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/b/0/4/0/highres_2145120.jpeg,2145120,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/b/0/4/0/600_2145120.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/b/0/4/0/thumb_2145120.jpeg,event,approval,40.799999,https://www.meetup.com/NYCwinetastingschool/,-73.949997,202,Wine Tasting School of New York and more!,3256305,Naomi,https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/a/6/c/8/highres_2742696.jpeg,2742696,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/a/6/c/8/member_2742696.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/a/6/c/8/thumb_2742696.jpeg,member,4.89,NY,US/Eastern,NYCwinetastingschool,-14400,public,Wine Lovers

In addition to our community meetups, our members get access to exclusive screenwriting classes, workshops and events, often at a fraction of the normal cost.\nWhat Is The Goal Of This Group?\nTo help writers build their craft, discover their voices, find their community, and overcome obstacles like writers block, self doubt and procrastination. We seek to create an environment that is both challenging and inspiring, to bring out the best in our community and ourselves.\nWho Should Join?\nWe organize meetup events and classes for members of all levels, from total beginners to emerging and professional writers.\nWhat Kinds of Meetups Do You Offer?\nScreenwriting Classes & Workshops, Meditative Writing, TV Writing, Film Breakdowns, 7 Act Structure Lectures, Formatting Seminars, Discussions, Excursions and Fun Events that bring screenwriters together.\nWhat Is Your Philosophy?\nRather than imposing the same old formulas from the outside, we believe that the best writing develops organically, from initial idea, to character, to scene, to act to the movie you've always dreamed of making.\nWe seek to nurture a community that both fosters and challenges this idea, and to help writers to strike the perfect balance between the art and craft of writing: the demands of their creativity and the demands of the marketplace.\nHow Often Do You Meet?\nWe usually have at least one meetup per month and sometimes even more.\nWho Is Jacob Krueger? And Why Did He Create This group?\nRealizing that aspiring and emerging screenwriters often struggled to find community and good screenwriting resources, award-winning screenwriter Jacob Krueger founded this meetup group in an attempt to bring those writers together, and to give them a way to find the resources they needed, at prices they could afford.\nOver his years in the entertainment industry, Jacob Krueger has worked with thousands of writers, from Academy and Tony Award Winners, to beginning writers picking up the pen for the first time. The founder of Jacob Krueger Studio in New York City, Jacob is an award winning screenwriter, playwright, producer and director.\nJacob Krueger is a true collaborator, totally dedicated to the project, leaving his ego behind, but nevertheless demanding the highest standards because of his sharp dramatic sense and intuition. --Claude Michel Schonberg Composer, Les Miserables\nMORE INFO: http://www.writeyourscreenplay.com",https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/3/5/4/highres_456830004.jpeg,456830004,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/3/5/4/600_456830004.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/3/5/4/thumb_456830004.jpeg,event,open,40.740002,https://www.meetup.com/screenwriting/,-73.989998,6596,Screenwriting Workshop with Award Winning Screenwriter,3359471,Jacob Krueger,https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/9/f/9/e/highres_215440862.jpeg,215440862,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/9/f/9/e/member_215440862.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/9/f/9/e/thumb_215440862.jpeg,member,4.93,NY,US/Eastern,screenwriting,-14400,public,Screenwriters

The jam happens every SECOND and FOURTH MONDAY of the MONTH -- even when I forget to post it on the site. As the jam has evolved, I have hired a rotating group of leaders who lead the jam from 7:30-9:30. This means that I must charge a $5.00 fee, so we can pay a leader. Each leader will choose 25-30 of their favorite bluegrass/old time songs. Click on the Pages tab at the top of the page for a description of our leaders and their songs.\nHaving a leader does not mean that jam participants cannot lead songs. But it does mean that there will be a few set guidelines. For example, people can only lead songs if 1) they know the song fully (including the words) 2) they are able to give out breaks effectively. This is a skill, and one that anyone can learn.\nFinally, I want to let peole know that the jam is not a structured class. Rather, it is a forum where leaders will be available to guide us along, ensure that there is a constant stream of jam-enhancing songs, and facilitate an amazing experience that is geared to an advanced beginner/intermediate level of player. Generally, after 9:30 or 10:00 an unstructured jam takes place, with higher level players.

The group was about to close (April 2017) so I saved it on the last day with the hopes of keeping it alive.

I will work hard and do my part to get the SFBAPM filled with active members.

Since life happens, interests change and people move we will eventually pair down the group based on activity (visits to the SFBAPM page and to Meetup.com) to make it more manageable and to get the group full of active/plan to be active members. Do you know you want to stay in group but can't play anytime soon? No worries!!! Shoot me a line and let me know or please just join again if you are removed and want to stay. All our games will still be viewable to the public, so jump back in whenever you want! \n \nCODE OF CONDUCT:\nBe nice.\nDo your best to show up when you RSVP and be timely about canceling.\nFollow host's/organizer's house rules (poker and home.)

If your interest is in improving the practice and performance of medicine, than this is the meetup for you.\nEugene Borukovich started the New York Health Innovation Group in 2008. Not long after he affiliated with the Health 2.0 organization and became the first local chapter of the new conference company. Our chapter has since grown to become the largest healthcare innovation focused meetup in the world, running events that focus on specific topics such as the impact of social media in Healthcare or our Startup pitch contest called Pitch Yourself into the Shark Tank. Hundreds of investments, partnerships and collaborations have come from our events, hackathons, contests, and our crowdfunding platform, MedStartr.com. A few of the companies that have presented before they made it anywhere: Phreesia, Zweena, ZocDoc, HelloHealth, Medivo (now Prognos.ai), Avado (bought by WebMD), YourNurseIsOn (acquired), DrChrono, EpionHealth, Healthrageous (acquired), WellApps (acquired), Misfit (acquired for 260M), DocGraph, Register Patient, and over three hundred more as well as StartupHealth and Bluepring health and five other accelerators. We have hosted our own MedStartr Momentum conferences (2015, 2016), Rise of the Health Machines (2017), HealthCamp, Susannah Fox, Todd Park, Bryan Sivak, Regina Holliday, Esther Dyson, Todd Pietri, and representatives from every major Healthcare Venture Capital and Angel group in the Northeast. The net result is a community of health innovators, accelerators, venture capitalists, hospitals, doctors, patients programmers, and more with a can do attitude that is changing healthcare every day.\nWe organize this group as our way of saying thanks for helping us launch MedStartr.com ...but this isn't about us, it is what our thousands of members, creators and adopters of healthcare innovation can do for healthcare.\nWho presents here?\n\nPatients who have defined issues to be addressed and / or designed apps to improve their health and the health of others\nPhysicians who create innovative care models, develop solutios, or simply are looking for new ways to address the problems they see\nEntrepreneurs who create new innovative healthcare solutions\nHospital Executives driving development and adoption of new ideas\nNurses who reinvent nursing management or point of care solutions\nInvestors, Angels, and VCs looking for the next big thing\nPharma, Insurance, and Diagnostics companies that look for new technologies and companies to work with\nPharmacists who design better medication management, adherence, distribution or other systems\nGame Designers who make patient education fun\nQuantification companies that help people self-monitor (see also Quantified Self meetup)\nEngineers, Programmers, and Hackers that invent and enable new care paradigms\nDesigners who love to design Killer Apps for Healthy Living\nInnovative Government leaders seeking positive change\nReporters and Bloggers who want to see the cutting edge before it happens and spread the word\nand so many more amazing people and companies...\n\nMostly what we have are the leaders of the NYC healthcare innovation scene. By putting us all together in one place, we are creating the future of healthcare and making New York the healthcare innovation capital of the world.\nHere is what has happened since we started this group actually: The middle bar is NYC and it shows how much funding has gone into health tech innovations in Boston, NYC, and Silicon Valley over the past few years. It was even worse in 2008 when we started, not even a tenth of Silicon Valley. Now we lead by 49%. Is it due to this meetup group? Maybe. Fact is that when people get together new ideas happen and we get people together. Now there are a dozen healthcare innovation meetup groups in NYC and it only adds to the momentum.\n\nHere is EDC's take on it (not just HealthTech:) https://www.nycedc.com/sites/default/files/filemanager/Industries/Media_EmergTech/NYC_TechStats.pdf\nAnd the original article on CBinsights is here:https://www.cbinsights.com/blog/digital-health-silicon-valley-new-york-boston/\nWe are always looking for start-ups and individuals to present the ideas or products they are passionate about. Please be welcome to join the conversation, propose a topic, or suggest an alternative format. We are a largely user-driven group, so suggest a topic and we will do the most popular event.\nWe also enable more established companies to get their message out to the healthcare innovation community through sponsorship and speaking. So if there is an event, challenge, or product release you would like to talk about, please contact us.\nThanks for visiting, we hope to see you soon!\nYours Truly,\n-Alex Fair (@alexbfair), Donna Cusano (@deetelecare), Anthony Manson (@DigitalRants),Mimi Rosenfeld and our awesome volunteers and event organizers!\nJoin us on Linkedin, Facebook or Twitter:@H2NYC)\nMedStartr (@MedStartr) - Crowdfunding, Crowdsourcing, Open Innovation Programs and Investing\nCall: 530.MEDSTAR (530.633.7827) or email us here.",https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/5/e/highres_436443166.jpeg,436443166,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/5/e/600_436443166.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/5/e/thumb_436443166.jpeg,event,open,40.75,https://www.meetup.com/health20nyc/,-73.989998,6052,Health 2.0 NYC - The New York Healthcare Innovation Group,9257025,Alex Fair,https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/3/8/7/d/highres_19214461.jpeg,19214461,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/3/8/7/d/member_19214461.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/3/8/7/d/thumb_19214461.jpeg,member,4.59,NY,US/Eastern,health20nyc,-14400,public,Healthcare Innovators

Business cards are the traditional symbol of establishing business contact. This MeetUp is organized by Reno Lovison, owner of Reno Lovison Marketing and author of the book Turn Your Business Card Into Business. Reno has been an entrepreneur for over 25 years in the Chicago area and is an enthusiastic advocate of face-to-face networking.\nDetails\nWhat: Business Card to Business MeetUp\nWhere:Various\nWhen: Last Tuesday of every Month unless otherwise indicated.\nTime: 6:00 to 8:00\nScheduled presentations and activities to be scheduled between 6:30 7:30.\nFee: FREE.\nThere is a $25 one time charter membership fee option established to encourage members to make an investment in the activity and to defray some hard-costs related to the organization. For charter members this fee will include participation in all regularly scheduled monthly meetings for 12 months. After that there will be an annual renewal. Each charter member will receive a copy of Turn Your Business Card Into Business ($17.95 Value).\nPremise: All businesses can benefit from face-to-face networking. Most small businesses are local service providers who derive the majority of their clientele from their local geographic area.\nIn short, if youre in the business of providing a particular service and you are located in Chicago, chances are the majority of your clients are also located in and around Chicago. Therefore one of the least expensive and most effective ways to grow your business is through personal face-to-face networking.\nThis tactic allows business owners (or their agents) to build a personal relationship with prospects, and others who are in a position to refer prospects, as the need for a particular business solution is identified.\nThere are a number of enterprises that have no geographic boundaries and who provide products and services on a national or international basis. These businesses often provide services to local service providers and can also benefit from networking locally and building outward.\nFace-to-face networking is an efficient way to create contacts and build relationships. It allows potential business allies to understand what you have to offer and to get a sense of your business philosophy.\nMost business relationships go beyond the need to simply solve a problem. People are more inclined to award business opportunities to those they like and trust.\nPersonal interaction allows you to establish the necessary rapport that makes others comfortable introducing you to their network of business contacts and allies.\nUltimately excellent networking is achieved when people see you not only as a personal resource but a resource for their network as well. When this happens your business grows exponentially.",https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/2/d/2/highres_464884818.jpeg,464884818,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/2/d/2/600_464884818.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/2/d/2/thumb_464884818.jpeg,event,open,41.990002,https://www.meetup.com/businesscardtobusiness/,-87.699997,443,Business Card to Business,8893941,Reno Lovison,https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/6/e/d/e/highres_34768382.jpeg,34768382,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/6/e/d/e/member_34768382.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/6/e/d/e/thumb_34768382.jpeg,member,4.45,IL,US/Central,businesscardtobusiness,-18000,public,Professionals

However, those who wish and feel qualified to give a presentation on a relevant topic, are welcome to schedule it in advance by contacting the organizer. Members frequently talk about subjects besides MBTI. The main topic of this Meetup serves more as a starting point for discussion rather than as an end in itself. People are free to mingle and talk with whomever they find interesting. All personality types are equally welcome. This is the place to be if you'd like to socialize with people who wish to understand oneself and other personalities better. \nPast MBTI events: \nMay 2017 www.meetup.com/MBTIxMeetup/photos/27943418/#462060730 \nApr 2017 www.meetup.com/MBTIxMeetup/photos/27757443/#459848413 \nMar 2017 www.meetup.com/MBTIxMeetup/photos/27703587/#459232578 \nJan 2017 www.meetup.com/MBTIxMeetup/photos/27583316/ \nJul 2016 www.meetup.com/MBTIxMeetup/photos/27125533/#452208590 \nMay 2016 www.meetup.com/MBTIxMeetup/photos/26986787/#450240101 \nApr 2016 www.meetup.com/MBTIxMeetup/photos/26934202/#449533571 \nFeb 2016 www.meetup.com/MBTIxMeetup/photos/26723809/#446604940 \nFeb 2015 www.meetup.com/MBTIxMeetup/photos/25949008/#434785929 \nAug 2013 www.meetup.com/MBTIxMeetup/photos/16645862/#271197862 \nDec 2013 www.meetup.com/MBTIxMeetup/photos/18966472/ \nSep 2009 www.meetup.com/MBTIxMeetup/photos/727490/#11007835 \n\nLearn, Grow, Pay It Forward. \n********** \nAbout Conversations New York (CNY) and Manhattan Lectures & Conversations (MLC)\nImagine\nHundreds of New Yorkers coming together in small groups of neighbors and fellow citizens to discuss topics of intensive interest\nHosted at no cost and at convenient locations and times\nAided by simple guiding principles\nInspired by the citys grand tradition of robust conversation\nOur visionis to inspire, organize, publicize, facilitate and celebratea renaissance of healthy dialogue in New York City.\n \nMission:\n1.

ALL levels are welcome, and people are super patient with learners.\n- Our main monthly Meetup is the first Wednesday of the month. We meet at a large venue and people mingle, speak in Mandarin and sip cocktails. These events usually have around 65 people show up, are Mandarin only events, and are super fun and social. We stay on our feet to promote mingling.\n- Every other month or so we hold smaller sit-down events, such as lunch/dinner, a trivia night in Mandarin, karaoke or other events that promote socializing in Mandarin in smaller groups.\nDo you have an idea you would like to share?

Other types of anarchism, e.g., voluntary socialism (monks making cheese) are harmless and kind of cute, but not our thing.\nWe are also fairly lazy about fighting the state. Hanging out, discussing philosophy, and making fun of politicians is the majority of what we do. If you hear someone suggest trying to get rid of government with violence or political action, he is not an AnCap and you should be cautious about associating with him.\nIf you are interested in *discovering* anarcho-capitalism, may I suggest that you read any or all of the following:\n\nFor a New Liberty (http://mises.org/rothbard/newlibertywhole.a...) \nMachinery of Freedom, by David D.

We are one of the largest and oldest independent figure drawing groups on Meetup, it's an incarnation of a figure drawing group that started about 20 years ago! Our goal is to offer artists of all levels, from total beginners to seasoned pros, an opportunity to draw from some of the best models, at the most modest of prices. We are also completely independent, unaffiliated with any other organizations, though we will occasionally help promote other events that we feel may be of value to our members. Come be a part of this! This is a grassroots group, by and for you, the members, and we're very open to your suggestions. We offer several different kind of figure drawing events, so there's something for everyone.\nOur regular figure drawing meetups, are traditional academic figure drawing sessions, usually about three hours long that feature one professional nude art model offering long and short poses in a quiet, relaxed atmosphere. These are friendly, non-judgmental events where you can work at your own pace. These have no instructor (but I'm always happy to answer questions). Events at our midtown location are open to all ages. \nDraw-mania! is our monthly extravaganza--a four-hour draw-a-thon and variety show in a tiki bar! Every third Tuesday of the month, you can expect four outstanding art models, a terrific DJ offering music that is conducive and inspiring to artistic creation (at least for most artists), and cutting edge music, comedy and performance art interspersed throughout the night. And if all of that doesn't inspire you, We're located in NYC's most fun and eclectic tiki bars, where you can find colorful and tasty drinkable inspiration! This event is strictly 21 and over, and ID is required. (While you are welcome to enjoy the bartender's creations, there is no obligation to indulge, and beverages are not included in the entry price). Draw-mania! will be ending it's successful 5-year run on October 18th! Don't miss it! \nWe also have special events throughout the year, including short boat trips, classes and seminars with an instructor, and social gatherings where you can get to know your fellow artists. \nOccasionally we will feature events on our site that are not our events, but which may be of interest to our members. Most recently these have included the Art and Design High School Annual Draw-a-thon, and Michael Alan's Living Installation. (If you have an event you think our members may be interested in, please email me to be considered for inclusion). \n We also arrange private figure drawing events, for special event and organizations. \nAll levels of artistic ability are welcome. Just bring your favorite art materials and your apatite for creativity! \n\nAre you new, and not sure what kinds of art materials to chose?

Integrative healthcare should embrace diverse disciplines without placing one in supremacy to another. Versus complementary care which supports allopathic medicine, but from a subordinate role, or alternative care, which supplants allopathic care. In integrative care, there are specific times and conditions in which to use different modalities. Some conditions may be addressed by multiple modalities, while other conditions may respond best to one particular modality. Within this group, other health care practitioners should be viewed as colleagues and sources for comparative perspectives more than competitors.\n\nWho should join this group? The group is primarily for health care providers, but support services including accounting, lawyers, office services, insurance billing, computer hardware and software developers specializing in health care are also needed. Practitioners and disciplines sought include, but are not limited to MDs, osteopaths, naturopaths, acupuncturists, chiropractors, psychotherapists, dentists, herbalists, nurse practitioners, nurses, massage therapists, physical therapists, nutritionists, personal trainers, case managers, martial arts instructors, yoga instructors. The group is also open to health consumers who are interested in learning more about integrative health care and networking with health professionals.\n\nGroup fees are voluntary. Some events will be free, while some will have a fee. Apart from event fees, your one-time or monthly contributions supporting the group are deeply appreciated, and will provide for developing more opportunities to support members.\n\nNew in 2016, San Francisco Integrative Health Networking will seek to work with other community groups and offer opportunities to contribute and volunteer for charity. If you are interested in learning more, or especially if you would like to help with these outreach efforts, please contact group organizer, Scott Henady at [email protected].\n\nFor Body and Mind, Inc. was formed in 2015 to provide the business structure for the group as well provide an internet platform to build an integrative health clinical practice. For Body and Mind,Inc. is currently seeking potential board members, partners, and like-minded health practitioners.

Fawn, Brindle, White, Black, and all boxer-mixes we want you to join our party each month. We are going to have a Boxer Party!! In addition to our boxer friends, we would like to extend our invitation to SuperDog City Clients. SF Boxer Mania is sponsored by SuperDog City, a professional dog walking service within San Francisco. This will be a great opportunity for our new Boxer friends to play and also socialize with other four-legged friends. After all, the most important thing is that we have as many boxers and dogs of all shapes and sizes at one location!\nPlease join us at Chrissy Field on the first Saturday of every month. During this time your boxer will have infinite amounts of opportunities to play with other boxers and make new friends. This event will also provide you with new & fun networking opportunities for pet sitting avenues or possibly spark new relationships .\n There are only 2 requirements.\nFirst Rule: Please make sure your dog wears his/ her Going Out collar, we want him/ her to look their best!\nSecond Rule: Sorry, un-neutered males are discouraged from attending. Exceptions do apply if you own a puppy under the age of 1. I am also a professional dog trainer/ dog walker and do NOT want to to have a boxer fight! Reason being, it only takes one un-neutered male to unintentionally stir a fight with a neutered male dog.

The aim is the mid-point between the hiking groups that don't stop long enough to explore and learn about what they're passing and the nature groups that see lots of great stuff, but don't get that much exercise.\nHikes will be lead by members with knowledge of unique, exotic, or otherwise fascinating features of our area. If you have a favorite hike that you'd like to lead, drop a suggestion and I'll make you a leader (you just have to commit to coming on the hike and sharing your knowledge).\nEveryone with interest is invited, and presentations should be aimed at people with interest but not necessarily a strong academic background in the subject (although some conversations will hopefully get pretty deep).\nOur primary focus will be on geology, but we won't pass up a good tidbit of information about the flaura and fauna as we hike.\nA few great books with resources for our hikes include: Ted Konigsmark, Geologic Trips-- San Francisco and the Bay Area Clyde Wahrhaftig, Streetcar to Subduction and Other Plate Tectonic Trips by Public Transport in San Francisco.\n==================================\nI've increased the maximum to 50. Just too many no-shows. Feel free to RSVP Yes, but remember to change your RSVP if you change your mind. I'll be sending out an email reminder the week before each hike to remind people to change their RSVPs if they are not going to make it.

For 7 years I've been organizing women group trips all over the world (3 years with NYC Travel Chicks). We've been to Morocco, Dubai, Grenada, Martinique, Mexico and all over the US and Europe. Here are some things to know about our trips:\n*Our trips are between 10-14 people max (except for cruises).\n*Men are allowed on our trips as long as they are accompanied by a woman (wife, mother, sister, girlfriend, etc) and as long as it isn't a girlfriend getaway trip.\n*Kids are allowed on our trips depending on the type of trip that it is.\n*You are guaranteed a roommate on all of my trips. I will pair you with someone who needs a roommate and will give both of you each others information so that you get in touch before you travel.\n*We don't have specific meetups for specific trips but I do monthly meet and greets at my office (266 Jericho Turnpike, Suite B, Floral Park NY 11001) and this is a great way to meet me, some of the ladies who are going on the trips and some of the ladies who've been on our trips before.\n*I have another meetuphttps://www.meetup.com/jususgirlfriendsny/ and here we do monthly events such as brunches, movie nights, etc. I post all of my trips on both groups so if you are looking for other ways to meet the ladies going on the trips, join this group :)\n*I go on most of the trips but not all. If I can't make a trip, Traci will be covering them (and in 2018 my agent Vanessa will be covering a few too...especially the french speaking countries because she speaks French fluently). You will get a chance to meet both of them at our in office meet and greet and at some of the meetups.\n*I don't do wait list for any trips. If a trip is sold out the only way to get on is if there is a cancellation. If there is, I will send an email to both of my meetups and whoever sends in their deposits first gets the space.\n*I do payment plans for all of the trips.\nPlease visit www.jusadventures.com/frequently-asked-questions/ for any additional questions you may have regarding our trips.

The main ritual and techniques have their origin in the dark arcanum of the ages.\n\n\nThe purpose of the Congregation is to spread the Light and to keep this light shining for any seeker that would like to partake of it. The ritual and service is offered to the public in general.\n\n\nThe New Aeon and Thelema\n\n\nIn 1900, Aleister Crowley continued his spiritual and magical work after the fall of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, by traveling to Mexico City and creating his first magical order, the Lamp of Invisible Light. At that time, Crowley met with various masons and met who would become the first priest of his Order, Don Jesus Medina.\n\nThe concept was simple and beautiful, and marked the beginning of Crowleys personal development in this journey that culminated in what we know today as the Vision and the Voice. This journey ends with the spiritual stage of inner light: The Lamp.\n\n\nThe Congregation of the Lamp of Invisible Light intent is to keep this Light available and ready for those who are in need of it by continuing with Crowley's concept in a new form. The Light never went out.\n\n\nThe Central Ritual incorporates techniques based on the Cube of Space (a cabalistic model for the Universe) and other Hermetic teachings. It is a participatory ritual and has a deep impact to open our inner self to the energies of the present Aeon.\n\n\nFurthermore, the Congregation of the Lamp of Invisible Light aligns itself with the principles of Thelema, the teachings in the Book of the Law and its message of Life, Light, Liberty and Love.\n\n\nLove is the law, love under will",https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/1/b/9/highres_25841401.jpeg,25841401,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/1/b/9/600_25841401.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/1/b/9/thumb_25841401.jpeg,event,open,40.740002,https://www.meetup.com/lampofinvisiblelight/,-74.0,279,The Congregation of the Lamp of Invisible Light,2301408,Juan,https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/4/2/a/f/highres_437071.jpeg,437071,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/4/2/a/f/member_437071.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/4/2/a/f/thumb_437071.jpeg,member,4.97,NY,US/Eastern,lampofinvisiblelight,-14400,public,Thelemites

Do you often wonder why no one returns your calls or follows up with you after a Networking Event? Join us in any of our cities for The Art of Active Networking,and let's change everything youbelieveabout Networking!Well show you how to build powerful relationships through giving using our method of #MyGive4\nThe Art of Active Networking is a worldwide networking group 100% focused on helping you to do better by asking the question, How can I help you do better right now? We recognize that every single person on this planet has two things that are universally common to each other:\n1. We are all of the same race...the Human Race!\n2. That as humans we all struggle with something!\nAt this event you will make some amazing connections and you will learn why Networking is not about what you get, but what you give and what I call my #MyGive4. You really only need to meet one person to make your entire night worthwhile if you know what you are doing. You will have an opportunity to speak to everyone in the room, and you will absolutely meet people you mightotherwisenever have an opportunity to meet and you will see that's it's not what you are selling or how you sell it that matters. Instead, learn the importance of building 'know, like and trust' relationships!\nWith that in mind we ask that you consider helping yourself and each other with those struggles by attending our events and sharing yourself and your knowledge, and practicing what we call #MYGIVE4 where we ask each of you to consider helping others for 4 hours a week in the following 4 ways.\n1. GIVE of your ideas and talent freely! Share your vast life experience to help another.\n2. GIVE of your time! Volunteer! Help a neighbor with a chose, carry someones groceries, volunteers at a soup kitchen or for a non-profit!\n3. GIVE of your money! I'm not asking for your fortune, even 25 cents in a hat or 5 dollars to a crowdfunding campaign or in the basket at church can go a long way to someone struggling.\n4. GIVE of your network through referrals! I now folks, you know folks, and the way we really do business is by building Know, like and trust based relationships! If I refer you and someone knows, likes and trusts the person, they will call you back or offer help when referred.\nSo use these 4 ways of giving and put in 4 hours a week of effort and watch your life get better. Watch the people who come into your life get better. Watch all the good you do with #MYGIVE4 and hashtag your good deeds while you share them to inspire others!\nCome see why over 15,000 people have attended in 5 countries and 17 cities worldwide! Tickets are 20$ on-line on our site until 6:15pm the day of the event and 30$ cash at the door until 7:15pm. Each event typically ends about 9:45pm! You must purchase a ticket online in advance to get the 20$ pricing.\nYou are then invited to join all of our groups and pages and use our FREE walls to post up what you might be looking for, all of those links are on our homepage near the ticket link.\nFinally, this is 100 percent privately funded by Mark E.

Many of us are so over stimulated and stressed out that we cannot hear what our bodies are saying. We age faster and suffer many health problems when we do not know how to listen to what our body is telling us. Discover the amazing wisdom that resides within your own body. Ben will show you how to develop your sensory awareness. Learn to truly listen to your body and care for its needs. Stimulate the mind's creative problem solving capabilities by learning to digest issues, emotions and stresses Many of us have never learned how to work with difficult issues and emotions. We tend to push these things down inside of ourselves. Undigested thoughts, issues, emotions and the stresses of daily life create a residue that accumulates within the tissues and organs of our bodies. That creates a great deal of additional stress upon our body and mind. These stresses can arrest our process of development, disconnect us from the divine creative intelligence of the universe and shut down our intuition. It also causes our bodies break down at a more rapid pace and that accelerates the aging process. Learn to use your body-mind's innate healing power to digest and assimilate your thoughts feelings, emotions, issues and life experiences. You will begin to release the stresses that are held within the body and to heal the painful emotions associated with anxiety, depression and emotionally traumatic experiences. You will also learn to go right to the source of the issues to bring about a resolution that allows you to really move forward in your life. Working with these practices helps to increase your intellectual and emotional range, improve memory, initiate new cycles of growth, awaken inner passions, spark creativity and deepen intuition. You will develop the strength and resilience that will make it easier for you to adapt to the demands that life places upon you. Discover the passion and power that resides within you Chinese Martial Arts Masters emphasize the development of a base of power known as the dan tien. The stress of living in such a fast paced world can cause us to disconnect from our foundation. Undigested food, emotions and the stresses of daily life begin to accumulate within the abdomen. We may experience bloating and suffer from various digestive problems. Some of us begin to lose touch with our drive, passion, inspiration and the sense of knowing that reveals our true purpose as our instinctual base shuts down. You will learn to become fully present within your body, to develop greater personal power, and to awaken the inner passion and sense of knowing that will bring give you a greater sense of clarity about your life's purpose. Activate the healing intelligence that resides within the body and mind We all have a powerful healing intelligence that resides within our bodies and minds. This innate healing power helps to mend our bodies any time we suffer an illness or injury. Our innate healing powers are often compromised by the stress and toxins that accumulate within our bodies. Learn to activate the generative healing powers that reside within your own body and mind. Awaken the consciousness of the individual organs.

May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Unknown\nTwo roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. - Robert Frost\n---------------------------------------\nDo you love Hiking and Adventures?\nWelcome to the Chicago Hiking, Outdoors, & Social Meetup Group. We strive for adventures, fun, and friendships. This group is for people who enjoy hiking, being outdoors and meeting new people. We feature hikes for all skill levels, canoeing, camping, biking, social gatherings and other outdoor activities. These events are a great way to get out, meet people, and smell some fresh air. If you have a suggestion, please feel free to contact the Organizer or post them on ideas for meetup on the calendar page. Most of the activities are pretty tame, but any participation in this group is at your own risk. If you want to meet fun and adventurous people, this group is for you. Come join us. It will be an adventure you wont soon forget.\nAdventures are closer than you think!\n---------------------------------------\nGet Involved:\nWe need Assistant Organizers and Event Hosts! If you don't see your preferred activity listed or a hike on your side of town, please volunteer by contacting the Organizer! You might be surprised just how many people are looking to do the same activity that you are. Other ways to volunteer would be a Greeter (Greet new members as they join the group.) or Monthly News Letter Editor (Write articles for a Monthly News Letter to be published on the message board.). We welcome Event & Group Sponsors who need some publicity for a great price!\nWhy not become a Hike Leader?\n---------------------------------------\nMonthly Photo Contest:\nWe are having a Monthly Photo Contest. You have 1 month to upload your favorite photo. At the end of the month, the Assist Organizers will pick the top 12. We will then have a poll for voting on these 12. The members will be able to rate each picture from 1 to 10 rating. The photo with the highest ratings at the end of this month will win. This photo will then be used as the open page picture for following month. The only thing you receive are bragging rights.\nUpload January Photos Here: http://www.meetup.com/ChicagoHOS/photos/799681/ Please name the photo and leave a comment about the photo.\nSo why not amaze the rest of the members with you photography skills?\n---------------------------------------\n100 Miles Club and 200 Miles Club:\nAre you looking for a Goal to reach? We have two clubs for you. You join the 100 Miles Club when you reach 100 Miles hiking a year with this group only (Chicago Hiking, Outdoors, & Social Meetup Group). You join the 200 Miles Club when you reach 200 Miles hiking a year with any Meetup Groups (Windy City Hikers, this group, etc.). Your Meetup Names will be posted in the About Section in this group.\nLets start counting those miles!\n---------------------------------------\nDues and Fees:\nThere are no membership dues to be part of this group. For prepay events, we will sometimes add up to three dollars, normally 1 to 2, to the payment to help out with the Meetup.com monthly fees.\nFor other events, example hikes, we suggest a 1 or 2 dollar donation at the start of the event. This is totally voluntary. No records will be kept for who donates and who doesnt.\nIf you want to make a voluntary donation. Go to the top of this page and click on Pay Online. Enter the amount you would like to donate. Donate any amount you like. This will be paid with Paypal.\nWe would personally prefer if people would donate their time as an Assistant Organizer or Hike Leader versus making a donation of money.

The more that you learn, the more places you'll go. ~Dr. Seuss\nI've tried joining a few book clubs that were genre specific (chick lit), gender specific (chicks only), and author specific (Stephen King) but as none seemed to satisfy my palate, I thought I'd try to see if there were others like me, i.e. those who can equally enjoy the likes of Jane Austen, Stephen King, Shakespeare,Neil Gaiman, Dean Koontz as well as nonfiction books (The Book of Vice, Don't Get Too Comfortable).\nChosen as One of the 5 Best Book Clubs to Join in New York by CBS Local* !\nStory About The Name of this Book Club:\nI am a huge Jane Austen fan and attended a Jane Austen Discussion at the Morgan Library featuring modern day authors whose works were a tribute to Jane Austen literature. One of the authors, Ben Winters, had written Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monster' published by Quirk Classics. I admit that I had read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by the same publisher and had no desire to read another work from their publishing house.\nDuring the Q&A session, Ben Winters confessed to an audience mostly comprised of the Jane Austen Society of North America that he had actually disliked Jane Austen in school and wrote his book to appeal to a larger audience. What caught my attention was an audience member who had read the book asked him to confirm the HP Lovecraft references in the book. (HP Lovecraft?!). He affirmed this, adding that other influences for the book included Jules Verne and Robert Louis Stevenson.\nThis intrigued me and yes I did go Hmmmm.. buying the book that same day and devouring it over the weekend.\nThat experience taught me to keep an open mind and inspired me to create this book club.\nAs Ben wrote when he autographed my copy Come on in, the water's fine..\n*2012",https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/1/a/8/highres_12908616.jpeg,12908616,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/1/a/8/600_12908616.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/1/a/8/thumb_12908616.jpeg,event,open,40.75,https://www.meetup.com/HmmmBooks/,-73.980003,2985,Books That Make You Go Hmmm...,3198499,Hazel,https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/3/a/f/c/highres_242655100.jpeg,242655100,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/3/a/f/c/member_242655100.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/3/a/f/c/thumb_242655100.jpeg,member,4.35,NY,US/Eastern,HmmmBooks,-14400,public,Bibliophiles

To Create Community Where We are All Connected When you share sound together, everyone's whole system shares the same vibration or frequency -- brainwaves, heart rates, and electromagnetic fields align, and we all become like family. In fact, sharing sound together is a portal to remembering the ultimate state of where we are all One -- particularly when the sound ends and we enter that divine place of peace where we disappear. We believe this is the ultimate goal, Oneness -- for when we exist in a world where we are all one there is no more conflict, no more war -- and only love and light permeate all of our relationships. Coming together in sound creates this Community, where we are all connected, one with all humanity and life --including everything on the planet.\n2. To Bring Us into Higher States of Consciousness A Higher Frequency - There are two general types of states: a. A State of Bliss Defining Bliss as any high state of consciousness including that of Gratitude, Compassion, Joy, and Love (personal and Universal). This state could be simply Perfect Presence or simply just a sweet state of Well Being. Of course, music often takes us to such a place. It is even more powerful when the underlying sounds are also working towards inducing the same state, and when you include a powerful Intention. b. A State of Deep Peace Not just silence (because silence can be uncomfortable), but a place of peace like no other. It happens when the sound ends on the root, home note of the song and fades ever so slowly -- seamlessly melding into the silence. When this happens the last frequency heard remains in the room humming ever so still. The slower the fade, the better.\nThe Events include many different Experiences. Sometimes a night might be devoted to one particular type of experience; Often we will have multiple experiences in one night:\n1. Sound Healing Concerts Wide variety of groups based around Sound Healing and Raising Consciousnes.\n2. Sound Journeys Experience the healing and consciousness raising aspects of sound as you lay on the floor with your eyes closed. We play a wide range of natural sounds all around you, including using the voice to induce higher states of consciousness. The journeys often include Crystal Bowls and Tibetan Bowls.\n3. Toning with Intention Most of our meditations are done with a conscious stated Intention. It is well-known and has been proven through research that Intention really does work.\n4. Chanting Chanting songs from around the world. No singing experience required. We often do Kirtan (Call and response).\n5. Sound Healing Music Wide range of live and recorded Sounds and Music to bring you into a state of bliss and deep peace.\n6. Sound and Movement Taking sound into form in the body and throughout the chakras.\n7. Guided Meditations with Sound From releasing stuck emotions and energy to resonating higher forms of sound and light consciousness.",https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/4/4/a/highres_13434346.jpeg,13434346,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/4/4/a/600_13434346.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/4/4/a/thumb_13434346.jpeg,event,open,37.77,https://www.meetup.com/SoundHealingCenter/,-122.400002,1605,Bay Area Sound Healing Group,11574594,David Gibson,https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/3/f/5/highres_9061013.jpeg,9061013,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/3/f/5/member_9061013.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/3/f/5/thumb_9061013.jpeg,member,4.95,CA,US/Pacific,SoundHealingCenter,-25200,public,Sound Beings

Logically, because everything happens for a reason, and every reason has a prior reason. Experientially, the simple fact that we cannot think, feel or do whatever we want, whenever we want. In physics, both causality and randomness. In psychology, an unconscious that never sleeps. In neuroscience, Libet's experiments (see our About page).\nBelieving in free will hurts us more than it helps us. Philosophers and psychologists like Derk Pereboom and John Bargh are seeing the advantages of our evolving to a consciousness that considers free will no more real than a flat Earth. As we move beyond the illusion that humans can act freely of what makes us who we are, like our heredity and environment, we can create a more intelligent and compassionate world.\nAlthough the group's official position is that we have predetermined wills, we welcome those who aren't sure, and those who believe in free will.\nAt our Meetups, those of us who understand the predetermined nature of our feelings, thoughts and acts explore how using this knowledge every day can make our lives smarter and more pleasant. Those of us who believe our choices are completely free of determining influences like past experiences, heredity and the unconscious discover why our best science, logic and experience make such a will impossible.\nBecause religious arguments are belief-based, we limit our discussion to what empirical evidence, reason, and personal experience tell us about human will.\nOur three rules are that we refrain from advancing belief-based evidence, we remain civil and respectful of each other, and that we have an great time exploring this truly awesome topic. The last rule is very important.\nBecause our topic is fundamental to who we are as human beings, and so unexplored by most of us, members should find our conversations enlightening and refreshing. If you enjoy meeting like-minded people, and stretching your brain to discover how our will really works, you'll have a great time at our Meetups.\nHow to disprove ANY free will argument in 2 easy steps\n1. Ask the free will believer to give an example of a choice they consider to be freely willed. 2. Ask the free will believer to say whether or not that choice was caused.\nCongratulations; youve won!\nIf the free will believer says the choice was caused, the causal regression makes free will impossible.\nIf the free will believer says the choice was uncaused, that would mean the choice was random. Clearly a random thought is not what we mean when we say we believe a thought is freely willed.\nYou can easily apply this two-step refutation to any, and all, free will arguments. \nFor a more in-debth understanding of the topic, read the About page.",https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/a/6/2/highres_267019042.jpeg,267019042,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/a/6/2/600_267019042.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/a/6/2/thumb_267019042.jpeg,event,open,40.75,https://www.meetup.com/Exploring-the-Illusion-of-Free-Will/,-73.970001,1019,Exploring the Illusion of Free Will,3373400,George,https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/c/a/3/c/highres_113151772.jpeg,113151772,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/c/a/3/c/member_113151772.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/c/a/3/c/thumb_113151772.jpeg,member,4.44,NY,US/Eastern,Exploring-the-Illusion-of-Free-Will,-14400,public,Human Will Explorers

This game is very popular in Japan, and is rapidly gaining popularity in the United States. Envision a game with its roots in gambling, played by the Yakuza... but with a strong skill component that makes it suitable for competitive play too. Riichi Mahjong retains the excitement of a gambling-style game, but also emphasizes strategy. It is a game with a lot of depth and richness, but most of all, it's REALLY FUN!\nMore about the USPML The USPML is one of the first Riichi mahjong organizations in North America, running Riichi meetups in NYC since 2010.

Gnosis is about acquiring direct experience of fundamental mystical truths, to know the mysteries of life and death for oneself, and goes far beyond intellectualism, speculations, beliefs or theories. What we seek to impart is the practical wisdom of how to change our life into something better, through the comprehensive didactic of self-knowledge, compassion and understanding.\nThese practical teachings are available to all people, across every language, culture, race and of both genders.

Connect, Grow, Pay it forward.\nThis meetup functions similarly to a book club, except that our discussions are often sparked by TED Talk videos fromTED (www.ted.com), Ideas Worth Spreadingor from similar inspirational sources. When practical, we'll watch an 21 minute TED talk together and then discuss how the ideas can improve our lives and the lives of others.\n(Clarification - This isNOTa live presentation by the speakers in the TED Talk video!TEDxMeetup is independently run and is not affiliated withTED. \nhttps://youtu.be/-FOCpMAww28\nAbout TED(Technology, Entertainment and Design) organization \nTEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the Sixth Sense wearable tech, and Lost producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. \nTED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. \nTED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks. TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics from science to business to global issues in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world. \nTED Mission:Spread ideas\nTED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. On TED.com, we're building a clearinghouse of free knowledge from the world's most inspired thinkers and a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other, both online and at TED and TEDx events around the world, all year long.\nIn fact, everything we do from ourConferencesto ourTED Talksto the projects sparked by theTED Prize, from the globalTEDxcommunity to theTED-Edlesson series is driven by this goal: How can we best spread great ideas?\nTED is owned by a nonprofit, nonpartisan foundation. Our agenda is to make great ideas accessible and spark conversation.\n**********\nAdditional Resources\nTEDx Talks,Youtube Education,99u.com,big think, NPR, TED-Ed, Google Talks, Times Talk \nList of online lectures/talks like TED: http://translations.ted.org/wiki/List_of_sites_that_provide_online_lectures_or_talks_like_TED\nMassive Open Online Courses(MOOCs) free from your favorite universities! http://www.iflscience...

Genres don't matter so much as long as you have a passion for music and making real connections with others. Our Events Unlike a lot of other meetup groups, we allow ALL MEMBERS to create events! We want to make sure to give our members the most concert-going opportunities as possible. And the best way to do that is to crowd-source the events we offer by giving you guys the power to create events for the shows you plan on going to. \n\nNote: Our goal is to have members that RSVP for an event make plans to meet and hang out during the show. Please only post events you plan on attending yourself and want to find others to join you (e.g. no posts solely for the purpose of promoting an event). A full tutorial on how to post an events and tips on how to organize members for meeting up is in the works, so keep an eye out for that!\n\n Non-Shows We will also host what we call Non-Shows throughout the year. These are bar socials for members to get to know each other and just have fun. Usually they also have a theme and/or special playlist created for that event. We Love Feedback! \nThis group group has grown a lot over the years and this is largely as a result of our amazing members. So we always welcome hearing from you. Feel free to send us a message if you have any questions, feedback, suggestions for future events or if you'd like to help! \nThanks for joining and hopefully we'll see you at show!

This group offers simple down-to-earth guided meditations designed to connect with deeper parts of oneself and ones own experience of the sacred. We use the book Silos Message to guide our meetings. Silo is a spiritual guide who is also well-known for developing Universalist Humanism. Our purpose is to create an environment that will nurture and foster deep experiences and help us notice them and live them in our daily life. Our meetings are small and community oriented so that everyone can interact easily and comfortably. And they are always open no commitment or experience is required. Complete beginners are welcome. Each meeting is divided into two parts: the first is dedicated to discussion and interchange from Silo's Message and the second part to internal experience. We work with guided experiences that focus on Well-Being for ourselves and others and an experience which is focused on quieting the mind and awakening the internal energy, known as the Force. This is not a religious organization and we welcome and respect people of all backgrounds and beliefs. We work entirely on a volunteer basis. There are no costs for the meeting. Occasionally we have day long seminars at the Hudson Valley Park of Study and Reflection (see our sister meetup group http://www.meetup.com/Spirituality-Nature-M...). The Park is a beautiful retreat center located 2 hours from New York City which is part of the world-wide network of parks inspired by Silos work. http://www.hudsonvalleypark.org/ For information about Silo and his life: Biography: http://silosmessage.net/about_silo www.silo.net",https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/e/3/b/a/highres_23038298.jpeg,23038298,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/e/3/b/a/600_23038298.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/e/3/b/a/thumb_23038298.jpeg,event,open,40.790001,https://www.meetup.com/New-York-Meditation-group-Union-Square-based-on-The-Message/,-73.980003,770,New York Meditation group Union Square based on The Message,13481406,Nicole Myers,https://secure.meetupstatic.com,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/d/2/9/5/highres_11993909.jpeg,11993909,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/d/2/9/5/member_11993909.jpeg,https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/d/2/9/5/thumb_11993909.jpeg,member,4.89,NY,US/Eastern,New-York-Meditation-group-Union-Square-based-on-The-Message,-14400,public,Members
