There are a whole bunch of meetups in the Baltimore and DC areas. However, there doesn't seem to be anything out there for fun-loving folks in the Ellicott City & Columbia, MD area.  It would be fun to meet some new friends and get to know the area through a new meetup as there seems to be plenty of things to do around here without having to go to the major cities. The goal of this group is to get some fun people together to go out on the weekends (in Ellicott City or Columbia or possibly Baltim …

But we can at least enjoy great conversation, share what we're reading, what we're learning and expand our minds by association, ALL while enjoying a good beer or coffee at one of Baltimore's many great hangouts.

Suggestions are welcome.

Our dialogue is an attempt to explore together the nature of the self and the profound questions of existence Krishnamurti raised as they relate to our daily lives. Krishnamurti’s teachings are often referenced as a point of departure, but we are not attempting to promote any teacher or belief system. Inquiring together as a group creates a mirror in which we can see our conditioning reflected as we expose ourselves to one another and to ourselves. At times it may resemble cognitive therapy or m …
