I started this group because "Scientific Organic Veganism" frames the cause and effect relationship of human behavior to ourselves, to one another, to animal species, and to the planet. The purpose of the group is: 1) To explore our relationship to our individual and collective life goals and purposes for being alive in relation to what we eat 2) To listen to one another on successes, failures, tips, hints, foods, recipes, gardens, farms, food preparation methods, and more. 3) To support events …

The beauty of EFT is its simplici …

Variety is the spice of life, says the old adage. I think veg*ns can do a lot of different things as veg*ns, besides just eating together. I do like trying good restaurants, and I do like potlucks, but that's not all there is to life. Veg*ns need to find friends with whom they share other interests, besides a similar diet. In my life, music, dancing, movies, art, theatre, games, literature, dogs, nature, travel, museums, and animal welfare all contribute to my sense of identity, and my feeling t …

This group is for young women with one thing in common: a significant other. While there are some great groups on Meetup for single women, what about the attached ones? Doesn't mean we're boring or want to talk about our partners all the time, but our partners are a significant part of our lives, and we need some woman-to-woman time to talk about whatever we want and get away for a little bit. (With women who understand where you're coming from in terms of relationships) What do we do? Really an …

Hello, Thanks for checking out this meetup. I decided to create this group because community is important to me and I, and some friends of mine, believe there are many of us lesbian, queer, and sexually fluid women out there who value spiritual connection, compassion, psychological and emotional depth, non-judgment and open-heartedness that would enjoy meeting each other. My intention for this meetup is to provide a place where a diverse group of women who come from a variety of spiritual paths/ …
