Greetings! KEPRI is dedicated to research and preservation of New England's stone chambers. For decades these ancient buildings have baffled historians on their origin, defying conventional anthropological belief. Though many theories have been formulated, ranging from Colonial root cellars to ancient Celtic monuments, little has been done to actually uncover the truth. This being the case, these archaeological enigmas have been passed off as nothing more than root cellars built by farmers and a …

We are a group of people who believe in a healthy mind , a healthy body for happiness, joy in life and a blissful spirit for harmony in all our relationships. Mystic Osho says - "Yoga is the state of no-mind. The word "mind" covers all -- your egos, your desires, your hopes, your philosophies, your religions, your scriptures. "Mind" covers all.

Welcome to "Delicious Living". My reason for starting this group was to meet like minded-health conscious people in the area and to support and empower those trying to get healthier. I know that it can get really confusing navigating through conflicting and always changing health philosophies out there.  The BIG secret is that there is NO SECRET.  We just have to eat the way nature intended us to, which is real food, unprocessed, unrefined, and food that nourishes us on a cellular level. I belie …

The world is awakening to the fact that free will is an illusion. Our group is about using this powerful truth to enhance our personal lives. If what we do is not really up to us, how does this change the way we see and react to each other and ourselves? If we can't logically blame or credit each other for anything, how do we evaluate and respond to what we do? If we're merely actors, and not the authors, of our acts, who are we really as human beings? These are just some of the questions we'll …

This is a group for all who are interested in the philosophy, literature, culture and art of Ancient Rome and Greece.

Please take a moment to reflect and answer the following single-question "personality test."... Is it your understanding that you are more like (1) a THING that perceives SPACE, or (2) a SPACE that perceives THINGS? Got your answer? I've found that perhaps ninety-nine percent of this world will answer "(1) a THING that perceives SPACE." This Meetup is for the other one percent. (But, please--not the Wall Street "One Percent"!) In other words, this Meetup is for Space People to relax and hang out …
