This is a play group for mothers, mainly of toddlers (0-5).  We will schedule a few meet-ups so the kiddos can play, but this group will focus on letting the moms play! :)  And we have a beautiful background to do so!  Let's make downtown WS our playground.  It may not be LA (trust me I've lived there) or NY BUT WS certainly has some fun perks - mostly good drinks and good food which suffices just nicely. :) So if you are a mother who moved from a large city, a mother who loves to get dolled up …

Insight (Vipassana) meditation is the simple and direct practice of moment-to-moment mindfulness. Through careful and sustained observation, we experience for ourselves the ever-changing flow of the mind/body process. This awareness leads us to accept more fully the pleasure and pain, fear and joy, sadness and happiness that life inevitably brings. As insight deepens, we develop greater equanimity and peace in the face of change, and wisdom and compassion increasingly become the guiding principl …

Over Thanksgiving, I went to a coffee house chess club that my dad runs in Ohio. It was an amazing experience--people of all ages and skill levels observing, talking about, giving impromptu lessons in and playing chess. The social energy at a club like this creates an environment where we can improve our chess skills in a way that is often more difficult (and less fun) in an online-only practice. This is a very welcoming group, and anyone who likes to play chess is invited. Ideally, this group …

"Expand Your Noise!" Calling all acoustic musicians (or wanna be's like me. :) This is a group about getting those instruments out...walking proudly into the world and expanding your noise! Simply put it's an acoustic jam group, but potentially, sooooooo.. much more! My vision is that it will be many goofy, memory making moments strung together as well as a way to connect with other musicians,family and friends. We will get together once a month to play (and I use this term loosely) MUSIC! ..... …

There are many book clubs. This group reads literary classics...books that have stood the test of time. So we'll never read the hot new thing...we'll read books that are 10-10,000 years old but are still in print. We'll read Homer, Dante, Salinger, Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, John Kennedy Toole, Alice Walker, Shakespeare. Great authors, great books. We'll read fiction, poetry, drama, folk tales, philosophy. We'll discuss what we read over wine or coffee. Sound fun?

As a member of the Oprah Book Club 2.0, you can tweet, post, and all of that jazz, but if you want a little face-to-face contact as well, then this is the Club for you! We'll follow Oprah's picks and meet to discuss what we think and how we feel about what we've read. This is for bookworms who also want to get out and about! We can meet in our homes, at coffee houses, restaurants, it's all up to us!

This is a group for those interested in the writings of both ancient and contemporary Buddhist and Taoist poetry and stories. Reflecting on the minimalism, yet elegance of the poetic styles of such greats as Issa, Roykan, Basho, Saigyo, Li Po, Tu Fu, among others, we will plan to meet, sip tea and recite as well as discuss our favorite poetry of the great Buddhist and Taoist sages from the past and today. Central meetings may be planned at my Urban Hut, but we can plan for others to be located i …

This is a group for anyone interested in practicing / developing Mandarin language skills. All skill levels welcome. I am a beginner.

We do something a wee bit different every month. Last month it was Show 'n Tell, this month: MANNA (where everyone is invited to bring something that has extraordinary value to them and to no one else.) Next month? Who knows? Something a wee bit different. Come join us amid the sometimes bustle of coffee, tea and cupcakes, one Tuesday a month, at the Looking Glass Cafe.

Some people plan, while other just do. This group is for those that just throw caution to the wind. Wanna have breakfast at midnight with an hours notice? We can do that. We are like a flash-mob with a hastily thrown together plan. It might be bowling, or a ball game. Music in the park or poetry at a coffee house. If you are a spontaneous person with an urge to socialize then aye oh, let's go!
