Come have fun with us making handmade greeting cards! We'll make 5 beautiful cards and have lots of fun. You'll get to see and use Close To My Heart's gorgeous stamps and papers, learn new techniques and card designs, and meet a bunch of great new people!

We typically meet the 3rd & 4th Fridays of every month at 6:30pm at my home in Newcastle, but you should check my ca …

Philosophy can be one of the most sublime or the most trivial of human pursuits. What are some of the definitions of philosophy? One classic notion might be the pursuit of wisdom, or sophia, studying about fundamental concerns  of life and world such as existence, truth and essence. The modern academic definition might be the study about how to think and know systematically and correctly,  by the proper use of logic, reason, and language--rigorous scientific and analytic philosophy. We have e …

SPIRIT, MIND, BODY We are a community of Free Thinking Individuals. Some of us call our journey Spiritual. Some call it nothing at all. We gather to collectively share, explore, uplift, inspire, and support each other along each of our own chosen paths of self-awareness. We believe that every individual is a part of the whole. Everyone is a student and a teacher, all at the same time. When we come together we have a grand opportunity to participate in a deep, connected, aware, collectively consc …

Social events, gatherings, celebrations, Sabatts, classes ~ more yet to be revealed! Lets see what we create from bringing to a single pool what we all know!

We're an autonomous collective of like-minded young (at heart) people who share a love of the arts and the creative process in general. I started this group because there are tons of us in this city, but for some reason, we all seem to be scattered or otherwise barred from connecting with one another in a meaningful way. So, I figured that even the littlest excuse can help bridge that gap. To read a makeshift manifesto for the group, click here: http://www.meetup.com/Twenty-Something-Artists-Wr …

Lets play Cards Against Humanity! I have a new set of cards and just need a group of people to play with. Cards Against Humanity, otherwise known as "the party game for horrible people", is essentially the twisted, adult version of Apples to Apples. So please bring your wit, humor and an open mind. This game is not for the faint of heart:) We can meet at various bars and pubs, grab a table and some drinks, and have some good laughs with each other. Prepare to be offended!

If you want to relax your body, calm your mind and have access to more energy, this is a event you will be interested in attending. This gentle stretching and meditation practice is learned through experience rather than learned through knowledge. You will experience stabilizing your physical health through stretching and optimal breathing exercise along with clearing and calming your mind through guided meditation. People of any age, body type and fitness level are welcome to participate comfor …

Three Treasures Sangha of the Pacific Northwest (TTS) is a lay Zen group located in Seattle, Washington; we practice in the tradition of Robert Aitken Rōshi and are affiliated with the Diamond Sangha. Our form is derived from the Japanese Zen tradition, favoring simplicity. While we focus on individual sitting meditation (zazen), we also recite texts (sutras) together. Talks and private interviews with teachers provide a chance to ask questions and to refine understanding. Zen practice emphasiz …

This Meetup is for persons who want to know themselves better and who want to learn ways to enhance their communication with others. We continually seek knowledge and exercises from several sources.

We also learn and practice several techniques for improving our Inner Peace, like: Breathing, Meditation, Visualization, Journ …

Wull Gollllllleeeeeee, I just wanted to connect with other crossfitters across the Greater Seattle area. Not for the faint of heart, I envision this group tackling some wild adventures, if it ever gets going, lots and lots of beer/wine/etc, and hopefully some help on how to eat right or stay on the crossfit wagon...not so easy all the time is it??

There are easy to challenging invitations that are full of adventure, wisdom, ceremony, quests, Shamanic work, and heart openings as you reach your highest visions. This is for people seeking to launch beyond the psychic, spiritual, social and personal limitations assumed and habitually lived in our Western modern society. The explorations will be deeply moving and you will feel what it means to find and follow your purpo …

Making a difference, one party at a time! Our group enjoys fun social events with the added benefit of supporting a new cause each month! What could be better than good times with other great philanthropically minded people? Some events will be in a public venue, some will be a house party. Have fun, and feel really good about it! Events will vary from simply promoting awareness of a cause, to parties with donations for a cause (think along the lines of what you might spend for a cover charg …

We begin each evening with resonant singing crystal bowl meditations. Each group is anew as we follow the energy. A variety of passive and active Meditations are taught and practiced. Some times we use cards, CD's and readings from enlightened sources. We close with Light centered healing circles.

MentorMeMentorYou is a group of mixed ages women to come together to exchange life experience, ask questions, listen, and share from the heart in confidence that what they say will be heard and respected without being judged. The idea is that we all have valuable pearls of wisdom that were hard earned and often came at the end of a long road of pain and struggle. These strengths in some cases could not have been gotten any other way; we had to learn our life lessons the hard way. However, that d …

Girly girls may get a bad rap, but not here. The Girly Girls are intelligent, hardworking professionals who love fashion, spa days, girlfriends, antiquing, culture, DIY, watch the occasional mindless reality show (after the news, of course), read chick lit and might even be a little bit crafty. The Girly Girls are a group of creative, aesthetically minded ladies who truly value close girlfriends. The Girly Girls are drama free. We are positive group of ladies who are kind hearted and love to lau …

The 30's are proving to be just as awkward as the teens. There are other singles' groups in Seattle and it seems that the people who attend the events are either too young or too old for those of us in our Roaring 30's. The aim of this group is to narrow the gap a little and have fun with other 30-somethings in the area. You should join this group if you are 30-something in age or at heart. You don't quite yet feel like a dirty old man or a cougar but, at the same time, you're hurt when some …

We are a group looking for any opportunity to hit the dance floor ... and have a BLAST doing it! With as few opportunities as there seem to be for dancing in the Gig Harbor area, we are pooling our resources to seek out the best local (or fairly local) venues and organize consistent group outings. Whether your interest is club, salsa, swing, 2-step, line, ballroom, or other - whether you are experienced or a beginner looking to learn - whether you are young or young at heart - D-Buddies are out …

This group first started in August 2010. We meet monthly to share our stories and have a period of timed writing. We're looking forward to adding new members to our group! The Power of Story: Telling and Sharing Our Stories Women’s lives are lived in the language of story. From the beginning of human time, while we worked, we told stories--stories of joy and fear and achievement and pain. But it is only in the past couple of hundred years that we have been able to write our stories down. In fact …

A gathering of like minded crone type people who want to talk about, create and make magic, share sacred space, and build community.  Especially for people interested in the Reclaiming tradition of witchcraft ( which can be very pagan ecclectic )   This meet up is intended for socializing and light hearted discussion and magical fun.   Participants should have some working knowledge of magic, witchcraft, and/or be wise enough to know better.
