Hiking Around Philly is different from most hiking groups because we hike off the beaten path. We hike in the woods and the city. We go places that won't be found on any hiker's map. The events are usually within a 1.5 hour drive from Philly, though we sometimes visit NYC or the Jersey shore. Once each year we go to Acadia National Park in Maine, one of the best places in the world to hike. We sometimes participate in a conservation work party in a area we hike. And, we do a lot more than hike; …

Hey all, Paul and I are engineers working in the Philly area and we were interested in trying to get people together to talk about how different platforms, infrastructure, and networks interact and inter-relate to each other. The general idea is to get out of the "I am a {network jockey, storage jockey, developer...}" and explore how these systems inter-relate and discuss the good the bad and the ugly about those relationships.

Neighbors, congregants, colleagues, and students are gathering all over the country, once a month for six months, to explore the habits of the heart that Parker Palmer describes in his book Healing the Heart of Democracy. This is intended to be a space apart from the daily debate in our workplaces and small-minded thinking of our 24-7 media; instead, we hope it enlivens everyone involved through provocative questions, fun experiments in citizenry, and renewed communities of people who may disagr …

We have become an urbanized consumer culture that lives increasingly hooked and dependent upon technology and mechanization. The quiet wisdom that comes from rural life and religious or indigenous practice that plants us in the soil of the earth and her peoples, is often run over in the frenetic pace of our lives. Soul-Gardeners Circles are organized at Stonehaven, a suburban property in Main Line Philadelphia dedicated to thoughtful contemplative dialogue. It is a place where the landscaped gar …

The focus is on the exploration of actual experience rather than continuing reliance upon thoughts and feelings as a guide. Beliefs and accompanying feelings of separation of duality are explored as they arise through higher reasoning and the quest for evidence to substantiate such beliefs. This group is led through guided meditation and …

This is a group for those of us who don't always fit in. Maybe we are too smart, quirky, artistic, or just like to go down the roads less traveled. We will be doing all kinds of unconventional activities and explore what's unique and interesting in and around the city - maybe we can find offbeat film festivals, random karaoke, quirky museum exhibits, burlesque and drag shows, ghost tours, and any wide range of randomness once more ideas come in. We can also get into not so random activities, lik …

I started this meetup because, as an Indigo type person, I have found that we are often misunderstood, and so usually don't get the kind of support we need.
