You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.” ― Rumi If you love poetry, if you revere the cosmic sounds of music in words, if you are in love with the faces of the sunflower and the rose, if you believe God is speaking to us through the stars, the river, even the voice of the wind, if you are on a quest to answer back, this Meetup is for you. We will meet every Sunday …

Earth based spirituality is about primal, deep connection.  It's the connection we long for with others and from nature's beauty - trees, plants, and animals.  It's the missing link for many people who've been relying on 'thinking' to seek higher consciousness - either by using thoughts to create more of we want, or by attempting to alter thinking through meditation.  Instead, this group is about nourishing ourselves through nature - plants, animals and other loving humans. Nourishment is what w …

Hi my name is Christine Marie aka depodol & I've been writing since I was 15 years old...

This group's main purpose to bring aspiring writers together to share & motivate each other into a positive & productive direction. …

There is a seemingly endless supply of books on the writing craft, so instead of feeling guilty because I'm working or doing the laundry instead of reading an enlightening book on the craft, I thought I'd set up an actual monthly time and place to fulfill this need and have writers to talk to about the book! We will read everything from books on writing fiction to poetry to screenwriting. Whatever catches our fancy that month. I'd like to find organizers in several areas of the city, then we can …

Saludos. Los participantes de este grupo nos reunimos para leer y conversar en torno a la obra de autores hispanoamericanos (aunque admitimos que este tipo de definición es difícil de precisar).
