We are group of people who like to travel the world not only as tourists, but as spiritual pilgrims.  Many of us are psychics, seers, astrologers, healers, and some are just plain ol' wanderlusters. We prefer to explore first hand the things within a culture that are beautiful and stimulating to the mind, body and spirit.  We engage both the indigenous cultures and natural beauty of the countries we visit and we always meet local healers and spiritual leaders. Martin Buber said, "All journeys ha …

`This 6 week meets to allow you to explore your own chart indepth. The first 3 weeks focus on what patterns emerge in your relationships and why.  We find what "chemisty" means to us and how we select partners (often unconsciously) who will fufill our needs. We come to understand what our real needs are in relationships. The remaining 3 weeks we explore the importance of the current planetary  motions and how they impact the relationship cycle we are in. As we observe how we experience the trans …

We're a great group of guys who have come together almost every week/weekend now since August 2012 to explore the various trails--in the hills, by the bay, and in between--that are right here at our doorstep in the East Bay.  No heroic mountaineering, just a good solid regular hike, fun companionship, a bit of adventurous exploring now and then, and on occasion, some socializing over food and drink afterward.  Nothing beats the fresh air, the spectacular landscape and views, and making some new …

This group's goal is to get exercise while exploring and learning about the geology and natural science of the San Francisco Bay Area. The aim is the mid-point between the hiking groups that don't stop long enough to explore and learn about what they're passing and the nature groups that see lots of great stuff, but don't get that much exercise. Hikes will be lead by members with knowledge of unique, exotic, or otherwise fascinating features of our area. If you have a favorite hike that you'd l …

The Berkeley Bicycling Meetup Group is for anyone who wants to meet new people and explore the  Bay Area. We have done mostly road rides but I plan to post a few mountain bike rides in the near future.  The rides are a lot of fun and are a great place to learn new routes. Despite the vast number of "members" (444, last time I checked), our group is small. There are 10-15 people who regularly attend our rides, with a handful on any given ride. This group doesn't drop slower riders! Unless I spe …

If you're anything like me, you're a busy East Bay girl who could use more gal pals. After a few post-college years in Berkeley, I still find it difficult to find those close female friendships I enjoyed while in school. There's a bunch of awesome girls in this area, I don't see why we can't all be friends. ;) This group is for women ages 21-29 in the Berkeley/Oakland area who are ready to make new friends over some delicious food and drink! Three or four times a month we'll set up an affordabl …

This group is for young women with one thing in common: a significant other. While there are some great groups on Meetup for single women, what about the attached ones? Doesn't mean we're boring or want to talk about our partners all the time, but our partners are a significant part of our lives, and we need some woman-to-woman time to talk about whatever we want and get away for a little bit. (With women who understand where you're coming from in terms of relationships) What do we do? Really an …
