This is a group that started with a common interest, nature and scenic photography, but over the course of the last two years it has grown to so much more. It has become a group of talents from all across the photographic spectrum, and it has become a gathering where people with a passion for photograpy can bond with each other, and build their knowledge base, or just kick back with friends and enjoy seeing some good pictures. At meetings, we sometimes have a big slideshow where people bring i …

The purpose of this group is to discover, explore and understand the natural resources existing in an urban environment. During the weekend I teach classes in what I call "Urban Outdoor Skills" and once a month, I take people on a donation-based hike/meeting to explore the city wilderness where we learn about wild edible food, the various uses of plants (medicinal, aromatic, etc...) and how to use nature to become more self-reliant. The hike/Meeting is very informal - we have a mix of experts an …

Rainbow Walker is important because the rainbow is bright.  The rainbow is energetic.  The rainbow encompasses the light in beautiful ways.  It is a rainbow that brings smiles to people when they see them and it is somewhat magical when it manifests itself.  It is no coincidence that a rainbow comes after a storm or after a rain shower.  It is to show people that they have come through the darkness and back into the light.  That is symbolic of what we are trying to do here. A short piece by Rai …

We decided to start the group because it’s hard to find people who are happy to share their intellect and perspectives on being atheist. This group is not just to talk about religions or our atheist/ agnostic views but to hang out and have fun with people who share similar interests. This group is not for judgmental people who want to criticize other religions, but for those who want to educate each other on strengthening atheist beliefs and or educating each other on different religions, and or …

This will be a great opportunity to relax, be outside and have fun on a weekly basis. - You will be learning in a  creative, accepting, "educational" environment …

As of Sept. 26, 2011... I'm the Organizer of this group... Voyeur Explorer. I'm a Photographer. I like to capture beutiful things that nature can offer and turn it to Art. Why i change and added the "Explorer" on the old group name? It's because I believed...a good photographer should always continue to look for new ideas and concept. I will focus on how to take and make Photograph using natural lights and artificial lights... indoors and outdoor setting. These is a meet up group made for …

Do you consider yourself to be kind and thoughtful? To be accepting of others? To be fun and engaging? Do you feel like you relate with so many, yet have met so many who rashly assume they probably won't relate with you? Do you feel like people seem to genuinely like who you are, yet even so, somehow don't quite know what to do with you in "their world?" Perhaps you almost feel like you're expected to focus on aligning your being with some kind of niche community or sub-culture, based on some di …

We'll meet every Wednesday evening around 6 p.m. and walk in Woodland Hills near Pierce College for approximately 90 minutes. In the winter months, we'll walk in and around the neighborhoods near Pierce and around the campus. There will be some steep hills and it will be a pretty good workout. In the summer months we will walk on the Pierce College cross country course which is quite beautiful and hilly and we'll start a little later to avoid the higher temperatures. Park near Oxnard St and Winn …

If you feel alone in your head pondering the nature of reality, infinite realities, quantum entanglement, gravity, spacetime, dark energy, and the like, consider joining this group for some friendly thinking and discussion. My hope is to create an exciting, nurturing environment, where we can be openly curious, and circulate among ourselves clips and pieces we've been watching/reading. As a side note, I am not a scientist--I just love to learn.  This group welcomes beginners, experts, and all t …

Active Outdoor Gals is an adventure group for women who want to explore the outdoors in Southern California.

The terms Renaissance man is used to describe a man (or woman, as "Renaissance woman") who is well educated or who excels in a wide variety of subjects or fields. The idea developed in Renaissance Italy from the notion expressed by one of its most accomplished representatives, Leon Battista Alberti (1404–72): that “a man can do all things if he will.” It embodied the basic tenets of Renaissance Humanism which considered man empowered, limitless in his capacities for development, and led to the n …

Welcome to Maum Meditation! The ultimate freedom is to have a completely clear and free mind. The human mind is always changing and is always trying to add more desirable experiences. There is no end to this addition. The way to find peace and clarity is to know the real world, the True world, by subtracting the past that has been recorded and stored within the body and mind as pictures. There is nothing more valuable than one's mind. It shapes the entire world that one knows. Through subtracti …

How can we gracefully weather these times of change and synchronize our own frequency with that of Ascending Gaia, our great planet earth? This meetup will find fun experiential ways to explore the incoming cosmic energy of the crown chakra, our grounding in the energy of Gaia, and the union of these two energies in our high hearts. Our aim is to revitalize our bond of kinship with each other, with Mother Earth, and with Father Sky. I see us enjoying an afternoon on a tree-shaded lawn, or sittin …

Promoting Philippine Yaw-Yan Martial Arts, also called Sayaw ng Kamatayan or "Dance of Death" is a Filipino style of kickboxing developed by Napoleon Fernandez. Since its inception in the 1970s, it has dominated the kickboxing scene in the Philippines and has proven very effective against other stand-up fighting arts. Yaw-Yan closely resembles Muay Thai, but differs in the hip-torquing motion as well as the downward-cutting nature of its kicks, and the emphasis on delivering attacks from long ra …

This group will begin our meetings by turning inward and taking some time to reflect on our lives and open our chakra pathways so that we can center ourselves. This m …

We will have topic discussions, speakers, time for …
