We are explorers by nature that don’t mind being dirty for a couple of days. We like our dehydrated food in the evening and our oatmeal and coffee in the morning, especially if it comes with a view. We travel light and don’t mind s*itting in the woods. Many miles and many days are always good and we do it without complaining. We carry maps not only to know where we are going but also to find new adventures. But most importantly, we like to do it with friends that are experienced backpackers as w …

Guys, are you realizing that parenthood isn't quite what you expected? Need some tools to help get you through the rough spots? Wonder what's up with this baby, and your partner? This is the group for you. Come meet other new and soon-to-be dads in a casual environment where you can grab coffee and ask questions -- the real questions -- and get answers. I am a Dad and a counselor and I want to help make this whole parenting thing a little less mysterious and a little more fun for you.

Working and playing with writing prompts is a great way to think out of the box, exercise your writing muscles, give birth to a new piece and/or enrich a work in progress.  My intention is for this group to be a place and space that provides encouragement and safety for new writing.  Writers of all levels of experience are welcome in this group.  It's not about creating a finished product -- it's about developing a practice, getting words onto the page, taking risks, and enjoying the company of …

I have been a long time book lover and recently have more time on my hands. I have always thought a book club sounded fun with girls who enjoy reading the same types of literature! I recently read Fifty Shades of Grey and couldn't put it down and thought it would be so much fun to get tougher with other ladies (probably between 21 and 35 age range-ish) who may have read this or similar stories (usually romance novels and chick lit type books) to laugh, gossip, drink coffee, wine, or whatever may …

I moved to Portland almost a year ago with my partner. We only knew her cousin and no one else. Needless to say, our social meter was definitely in the red a few months later: ( I struck up a conversation with a woman on a bus, mentioned I didn't know anyone and she suggested joining meetup. We attended our first meetup two weeks later, a second one the day after. From those meet ups , we met 6 fabulous men and close to a dozen fantastic women. People from all different careers with an age range …

This is a group where young children (ages 0 - 10yrs) can come together, be safe, and have fun during playtime. I started this group because I want my daughter to feel safe and have a strong support group with other children who have food allergies.

This play group can also act as a support group by building relationships and confidence not only with children, but with the parents as well. To ensure the safety of the children …

On a practical level, this Portland social group is for lesbian/queer and queer-friendly women who have vitality and a strong sense of self. I say "practical" because I realize that most people use meetup casually, to meet others and find things to do from time to time. But ideally, I'd like to manifest a village of warriors. To me, a true warrior of modern times is a strong woman who has a healthy relationship with power. She speaks her truth, walks her own path, lives by principle instead of c …

Peace is something that everyone wants. Though we search for it in things around us, it's within us all the time, and readily available to experience all the time, too. Peace doesn't create or come from an absence of war. Rather, wars happen as a result of the war that people fight within themselves. But peace is what can end wars, by each person first ending their own inner wars. Portland Friends of Peace isn't about ideas, philosophy, religion or spirituality — nor are we against any of these. …
