We decided to modify the group slightly and gather with people who like to cook and play musical instruments. Almost everyone likes live music and wants to learn to play instruments such as guitar, piano, or drums. Taking classes is a commitment not all of us can take on, but meeting with a group of friendly people for good food and music might be fun. If you would like to practice the instrument you are playing than this is a place for you. We are interested in: blues flamenco folk and popular …

If you "get it", this is your group. You are fully aware that everything in the Universe is connected. You've read the books, you've watched the movies, you've done the work, now what? The path of enlightenment is never-ending, and through this meetup, you will learn about events that will help you continue the process, and meet like-minded folks while you're at it! While many of the activities will be "doing the work", others will be more social in nature, spending time with folks who have perh …

Most of us have been led to lead our lives as separate, not only from one another and the Universe in general, but even from our own Selves.  We seek help from different sources for different aspects of our beings - mental, spiritual, emotional, physical - rather than addressing the whole.  Living this way can cause a feeling of disconnectedness, un-ease, and confusion, not to mention leaving our questions unanswered.  This group is designed for those seeking to bring whole-ness to their lives. …

We are a group of people who desire to grow spiritually. We have Reike shares, drum circles, yoga classes, Gong meditations, and much more! www.freetobemespa.com

Our Vision is to create a spiritual community of musicians, artists, singers, chanters, and dancers who come together on mother earth under our father sky. We will play the rhythms and sounds of ancient & modern tribes, aboriginal groups and devotional music. The musicians will play music, while the artists are welcome to paint or sculpt their visions. The chanters will immerse their vocals to the ethnic vibes while the dancers will move their bodies beautifully. Some of the various sounds will …

We will try each of these coffee shops 1. BRIDGEPORT COFFEE HOUSE The coffee-roasting operation on the corner of Morgan and 31st Street is a point of pride for Bridgeport and a source of jealousy for almost every other neighborhood. Housed in a prototypically warm-toned, wood-heavy coffeehouse (only without the fleabag couches and drum-circle vibe), Bridgeport Coffee sets itself apart by roasting its own beans and brewing them with levels of respect usually reserved for presidents. The pour-ov …

From the founder: ""Shamanism" has become a fad today. People are coming out of the woodwork claiming they are shamans and have this training, this degree, this "magical belt".  Some will falsely claim that their "brand" is more valid than others because it comes from a certain place or culture. Some are indeed the "real deal", and I won't discount them. However, many are not. Often I believe, from reading their works and articles, they are simply regurgitating old material stolen from other aut …
