I have recently joined a Poetry Slam and although I LOVE it, I am often exhausted as it ends at 11pm and is on a week night. So I've decided to start my own on Saturday evenings. If you are one who is serious about GOD and HIS word, attempting to live a good clean life, Please come out and share your struggles, triumphs, everyday battles, just get some stuff off of your chest in poetic form. The spoken word is an excellent tool that people of GOD can use to witness. In this group, we will not ju …

The Order of Bards Ovates & Druids is a group dedicated to practicing, teaching, and developing Druidry as a valuable and inspiring spirituality.  This will be an informal, relaxed gathering to give folks the opportunity to chat about Druidry, our studies, the OBOD, the Bardic course, and other topics of mutual interest. Druidry is a way of experiencing the world, and it compliments many other paths, such as Wicca, Witchcraft, Christianity, etc. Studying and practicing Druidry does not mean that …

We're currently a small group, but interested in expanding in both numbers and styles. We read and critique each other's work, whether it's fiction, poetry, autobiography or something...completely different. Your submission can be any size and as explicit as you'd like. As the head of the group, I can proudly say that I've completed a novel, including heavy revisions, and very nearly have an agent! So any help you'd like on that front can also be offered. I should have added this part sooner, so …

As the organizer of a hopping couples group, I enjoy those activities immensely with my husband. However, there is a major *gap* only women can fill and we gals know and feel exactly what that is! I hope this group will foster precious connections: woman to woman with plenty of laughter and sharing enjoyable activities, from laid back hanging out just chatting to special activities that emerge as our group evolves. Some ideas are games, book club, art, poetry, crafts, pot lucks or inexpensive di …

We close with a brief time of sacred readings (for example, an evening psalm or something from the Desert Fathers), prayers and simple songs. This gathering was born out of the desire to c …
