This Meetup Group is for people with an interest in all-things-science to get together, and not just on Saturdays. Maybe you often find yourself starting to tell a science-related story at a party, only to trail off awkwardly when you realize that you're not as clear on the details as you thought. Or your friends are hinting that they'd really rather not hear about Planet Earth anymore. Quite possibly, while others reminisce about Saturday morning cartoons, you fondly recall watching Mr. Wizar …

Are you looking for fun ways to socialize your pup while meeting new people who share a reward based training philosophy? This is a group for dog owners of all breeds, many of whom may face discrimination based on breed, disability. size, or reactivity: the “Underdogs”. Our group’s mission was initially focused on educating the public in an effort to combat the negative perceptions that are wrongly associated with pit bull-type dogs.

If you want to live a more fulfilled life, first you will want to know your potential, who you really are. Meditation is the route to that knowing. It is the methodology of the science of awareness. Many meditative techniques require one to sit still and silent. But for most of us accumulated stress in our bodymind makes that difficult. Before we can hope to access our inner powerhouse of consciousness, we need to let go of our tensions. Osho Active Meditations have been scientifically designed …

I have been getting so much out of a certain genre of literature that I decided to see if anyone else wanted to read and discuss them. All of these books are terrific depictions of the journey out of emptiness and back into the vitality of being alive. They always inspire. Anyone who finds the topic of re-discovering spiritual health and innocence, particularly if the starting point is a jaded love for self-destruction should join this meet-up. We'll meet weekly and peel one of these novels apar …

This is a group for anyone who enjoys reading books on personal improvement and spirituality, but too often has no one to discuss them with! Sometimes sharing these ideas with other like-minded seekers is the only way to truly manifest them in your life and to bring about positive change. I am interested in a broad range of topics: christianity, buddhism, self-improvement (Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra and others like them), meditation, health and wellness, journaling for healing, etc., etc., as wel …

What do Ghandi, John Lennon, Jesus Christ, and Bob Marley have in common? They all emphasize love as being the foundation of life. Are they talking intimate love or did romance somehow hijack the true nature of love? Everybody sings about it, talks about it, and writes about it - but what does love really mean and how can it help you live a better life and create a better world? This meetup is a philosophical exploration of the practical side of love - what does it mean to cultivate true love fo …

Based in Fort Greene, I'd like this meetup to offer fellow rational, free-thinking Brooklynites an opportunity to come together to learn, share, or just sit and stare.

Of course, people of all backgrounds, genders, ages, sexual orientations, races, and even religions are welcome. There is …

"It is what it is" or "to be or not to be" or "I know one thing for sure and that is that I know nothing" this last one expressed by Plato's teacher, Socrates. The purpose is to to gather occasionally in a local place (bookstore, library, restaurant, park etc.,) for a slow motion relaxing time where we can exchange ideas, points of view, or just think out loud and get a response. Schools of thought, fundamental nature or knowledge, reality, values, existence, ethics, good, bad and other subjects …

How does one live a good life? This simple question can be surprisingly difficult to answer. Yet not taking an honest try at answering it (or even worse: ignoring the question entirely) can lead to the risk of misliving one's life. One of the main goals of ancient philosophy in the West was to help guide people in answering this question rigorously and well, and then helping people to live in accordance with their life's philosophy (literally "the love of wisdom"). One of the most successful and …
