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 …

Living Skeptically started as Drinking Skeptically in Berkeley, but since the creator of the group doesn't drink, it needed to expand. Living Skeptically in Berkeley is for hosting gatherings of skeptics, atheists, freethinkers, and doubters in and around Berkeley, CA. The creator, Ursula, lives in South Berkeley, and likes grilling out in her front yard when it is sunny, taking walks around town and hiking, going to movies, theater, and concerts, and attending social and cultural gatherings.

Feeling Arranging is a primitive form of Shamanism, which is nature based and very ancient. It’s about finding our original self through arranging our feelings. This group is for the adventurous and the fearless. Feeling Arranging is uniquely different from the shamanism and healing methods we know such as journeying, soul retrieval and meditation. We use darkness as a positive force to heal ourselves and to connect with our ancestors and nature. Like a seed needs a dark place to incubate before …

Start your day out right! Walk in the morning! Give yourself an energy boost. Aimed at people who want to walk daily but maybe don't get around to it unless other people are depending on you to show up (that would be me). Goal: Walk for 30 minutes a day morning and/or evening.

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 …

Come on and join the fun. If you enjoy a bit of trivia while you have some beer and socialize, this group is for you. You do not have to be a hardcore trivia genius to participate. It’s all about having fun. Most of the venues will be in Berkeley and Oakland (near BART or public transportation for those coming from further afield) to start with, e.g. Ben and Nick’s, Albatross, maybe Pyramid. But I am open to suggestions for other spots. I also love hiking and other outdoor activities, so in the …

Hello, Thanks for checking out this meetup. I decided to create this group because community is important to me and I, and some friends of mine, believe there are many of us lesbian, queer, and sexually fluid women out there who value spiritual connection, compassion, psychological and emotional depth, non-judgment and open-heartedness that would enjoy meeting each other. My intention for this meetup is to provide a place where a diverse group of women who come from a variety of spiritual paths/ …

Variety is the spice of life, says the old adage. I think veg*ns can do a lot of different things as veg*ns, besides just eating together. I do like trying good restaurants, and I do like potlucks, but that's not all there is to life. Veg*ns need to find friends with whom they share other interests, besides a similar diet. In my life, music, dancing, movies, art, theatre, games, literature, dogs, nature, travel, museums, and animal welfare all contribute to my sense of identity, and my feeling t …
