Running a business may leave you making decisions alone at the top.  If you are like most business owners, your family and friends cannot fully appreciate what it takes to run and grow a business. As a business owner, you face challenges that are common to business owners. We recognize the value of learning from each other (which is cheaper than hiring consultants). That's why we formed these "executive peer groups." Come discuss challenges and issues with your business peers who have built comp …

At any moment, see what your mind is doing. It is going into the past or the future. It is angry about the past or anxious about the future, isn't it? When this oscillation of the mind stops, THAT is when you get in touch with the source of energy, which is YOU. All the human values that we treasure and cherish - Happiness, Joy, Love, Compassion, Caring, Friendliness, Enthusiasm, Creativity, Relationships - can only be lived and experienced in the present. But, when we are caught up in the chat …

Waking Down in Mutuality is a path of non-dual awakening that includes the mundane as well as transcendent qualities of being human. Unlike other paths, it is deeply relationship based and does not require matching a particular image of self-perfection. Some people find the work because they want to awaken. Some people find it when their current spiritual practices become dry and hopeless. Some people just want the unique holding and transmission of the community. If any of these reasons appeal …

Description: We are a community of dog-lovers working together to support and encourage safe dog socialization through structured weekly pack walks. (We are NOT a play group.)  While we are primarily a group made up of pit bulls and Rottweilers, we do not discriminate against any breed. We welcome ALL dogs at every level. We welcome ALL handlers at every level. Our walks are about giving people a place to work on their individual training needs in a supportive environment. No nose-to-nose int …

If you are single and would describe yourself as a secular humanist, an agnostic, an atheist, a freethinker, or a naturalist, etc, this group is for you. Having shared belief systems does not guarantee a successful relationship, but it does help stack the deck. There are many faith-based singles groups, as though they really need them; they can find each other everywhere. Non-theists, however, are a minority. As non-theists we generally do not wear a symbol around our necks that allow us to reco …

A playgroup for Boston Terriers and Boston mixes. If you are their human, you know there's only one thing more fun than watching your Boston/Boston mix play with other dogs: watching your dog play with other Bostons.

During the warmer months, we'll convene at a local off-leash area. Ruff House requires proof …

The Conscious Club was born of the ever increasing desire we all have to enjoy a social outing that is fun, informative and uplifting in every way. Created by three gents in Australia on the basis that they and so many of their friends were tired of going to the same old pub or club, yelling at each other for a number of hours before coming home with nothing to show for it except a hoarse voice and a hang over. The guys realised that everyone is going out to clubs and getting UNCONSCIOUS, so the …

This group features weekly games which embody our key concepts: 1. Intensity.  Games should encourage you to push yourself to your physical limits.  Most games will covertly employ the HIIT style of physical training.  I say covertly, for while your muscles might be screaming out like they do during any good exercise, you will be far too focused on capturing the flag to notice. 2. Creativity.  Sometimes unconventional, out-of-the-box thinking is damn near a requirement to winning.  Think "Ender' …
