A speaker (or number of speakers) is invited each month to present a topic of interest, which is followed by a discussion in a relax …

Having moved to Bristol and being a long term member of a great walking group in the south-east I thought I'd see what was on offer in the South-West, the meetup site said over 70 people in the area were 'waiting for' a hiking group so I thought it might be worth a try. The group I'm used to ( http://www.walkingclub.org.uk ) is a 'self-organised' group where walks are flexible and very sociable so I'd like to follow that philosophy. One of the reasons why I moved to Bristol was to have easy acce …

To together do our best to understand the opportunities available to us individually and collectively as well as the limiting, mistaken and often damaging assumptions …

HI I have decided to set this group up as a way to meet like minded people and form some strong friendships in the High Wycombe and Bucks areas that are into philosophical debates around new age subjects,herbalism,conspiracy theories and laughter therapy and more. I would like to meditate in each others homes and also do more work on the law of attraction and other new agey things. There seems to be loads going on around spirtuality in London and its too far to get to. I would like this group to …

Café Philo is a way of meeting interesting, inquiring people who enjoy talking about life's big issues and conundrums in a convivial atmosphere in the Bristol and Gloucestershire areas.

So if you enjoy discussing deep things with people of like mind, and practising spiritual exercises to bring peace to our busy days, do join us.

Informal meetings for people with an Integral mindset to discuss ... anything that takes our fancy!

Provided you have an open mind with wide-ranging curiosity, you'll certainly feel at home. Our website: http://OxfordIntegral.org

This is a group for events and get-togethers in and around Yeovil. It's a catch-all group mainly because I'm into all sorts of different things – and I think I'm not alone in that!

A Course in Miracles is a remarkable book that lays out an entire spiritual path. It describes a philosophy of forgiveness where fear and guilt can be overcome through miracles. Miracles are defined as maximal expressions of love that remove the blocks we all have to the awareness of love’s presence. A Course in Miracles is not an end in itself. We wish to inform people of its existence but we do not seek membership. Our personal experience is that study of ACIM has helped us in our life. We the …

The Forum is for all people, and not just …

Our natural state of being is peace and happiness, but when the mind is lost in a sea of thought and confusion our natural state becomes hidden. The only way we can rediscover this peace is to look deeply into the mind and uproot the cause of this chaos. Free from illusion our mind returns to a state of stillness and silence. Our experience of life changes and we are left with the overwhelming realisation that life is complete, perfect and whole. We experience life as an open existence, a freedo …

Philosopher's Cafes are bringing philosophy back to its original intention of providing food for thought for people in everyday life and encouraging them to lead, more examined lives. Socrates practiced philosophy in the marketplace, taking on all comers, willing to discuss anything with anyone, anytime. This is the tradition of the philosopher's cafe. If you’re tired of being given your opinions, fed up with tabloid culture and no-brainer movies, you’ve got 157 channels and nothing worth watchi …
