Join with others to create a revolutionary vision for a new egalitarian society. Help to develop a strategy to realize and implement this vision. Identify the challenges we face and how they can be overcome. We start with the premise that capitalism and its model of profit and plunder are inherently at odds with the health and well-being of the people and must be overturned. So the question is how we can accomplish this and what system we will put in its place. This is a forum for cultivating …

This is a group for anyone interested in Creative Process. All of human culture is the result of human creativity, and each of us is inherently creative; for example, we create whenever we speak, write, dream, etc. Creativity is necessary in visual arts, music, science, business, technology, and every other human endeavor. All we need is to open our raw creative energy and apply it to our field of interest. This Meetup can enhance our creativity by teaching and learning from one another, by shar …

We are the first local chapter of The Circle of Reason , an international organization for pluralistic rationalism. We're a unique venue, where those with divergent beliefs and backgrounds engage in reasoning dialogue and fellowship across the gulf of human difference. Although our members remain affiliated with their various groups that rely on religious, atheist, biological, ethnic, cultural, economic, political or ideological kinship, they also join the Circle to examine and bring their diffe …

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 …

Some gatherings have specific themes, but all gatherings thus far have been an opportunit …

Welcome to The Three Principles Meetup in St. Paul, Minnesota. This group has been established because of the ever-increasing interest in The Three Principles. Over thirty years ago, a Scottish-Canadian day laborer named Sydney Banks had an experience that profoundly changed his life. Through a beautiful insight he saw the grace and simplicity of how all human beings experience their existence. What emerged was a deep knowledge that all psychological reality is created within us through Three Pr …

A group for French Bulldogs, their "parents", and friends (human and animal) to get together and play!

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 …

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 …

We use the Great Books Foundation's assorted collections, like "The Great Books Reading and Discussion Program" Series to allow us to make easy and quick reference to whichever text we're discussing. Great Books offer insights into human experience and common challenges to living a good life well, and offer happiness and hope for toda …

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 …

Explore the meaning and the experience of a sacred connection to our own sexuality.

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' …
