Are you a creative writer looking for feedback on your work and willing to help others improve their own stories? I recently moved to the Mission area and am finding it a long drive back to the Vancouver area to meet with my writing groups, so I'm starting one closer to home.

THIS IS A VERY BRIEF SUMMARY OF OUR VERY LARGE SPHERE OF STUDY. This devotional study group requires that members are aged 18 years old or more and have a strong personal commitment to Asatru or Hellenismos.

We keep our perce …

Hello Everyone! Welcome to our little group.  We typically meet on ever Monday evening, though we have had meetings on other nights.  Our usual venue, the Atrium next to the Habit coffee shop, is not available to us on ‘stat’ days (we do not meet on those days). The first Monday of each month is reserved for a Meet N Greet.  Here we discuss group business and then play some word games to stretch our writing muscles. The third Monday of each month is a critique night.  Here we break into subgr …

We're an autonomous collective of like-minded young (at heart) people who share a love of the arts and the creative process in general. I started this group because there are tons of us in this city, but for some reason, we all seem to be scattered or otherwise barred from connecting with one another in a meaningful way. So, I figured that even the littlest excuse can help bridge that gap. To read a makeshift manifesto for the group, click here: http://www.meetup.com/Twenty-Something-Artists-Wr …

Whitfield, an anthology which contains most of the readings through May 2013.  It's available new from the Great Books Foundation; new and used copies may a …

Meet other local writers for casual creativity and encouragement! Let's gather together and practice the ancient art of story telling. We will work from prompts, exercises, or whatever else inspires the muse in us. For those that wish, we will share what we have created for comments and advice.

'All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. --As You Like It, Act II Amateur dramatics without any of the stress: we pick the parts we want, then read the plays out-loud. No need for costume, props, or accents; no need to memorize lines, to "look the part," or to be the same age (or gender) as your character!  All you need is a willingness to try it - we'r …

A growing number of people around the world, particularly here in the Pacific Northwest, are advocating for a change in the way we relate to the Earth – to think of the Earth not as our Mother, but instead as our Lover. These people call themselves EcoSexuals and they embrace both the earth body and the human body as worthy of our respect and love. EcoSexuals are also exploring how our relationship with human sexuality affects how we relate to ourselves, one another and Earth’s ecosystems. We ho …

The Bellingham Artistic Christians Network will be comprised of artistically talented Christians (and their fans, patrons and supporters). It will be for people who strongly desire to empower one another to make the most of their talents for the sake of the kingdom of God. Starting this local group is the next phase in a project on which I began working more than 10 years ago. The culmination of the project, I hope, will be the creation of a rural residential arts colony specifically for Christi …

The purpose of our group is very simple: we discuss and analyze ideas. The word "analyze/analytical" is not a reference to syllogistic, analytical philosophy, but rather stands for those who like to analyze and critique ideas. Its a place for thinkers to connect with other thinkers! The format is also very simple: there is a brief 15 to 30 minute lecture (the shorter the better) followed by a civil conversation. We believe in organic group mingling. Not all thinkers are compatible, as thinkers …
