The purpose of this group is to bring deep thinkers together who enjoy discussing philosophical topics like "What is meaningful?" We'll choose a topic, give it some individual thought for a while, and then come together to discuss it in detail. Hopefully we'll be able to help each other understand our environment better and increase our awareness. Let's try to better understand how we are influenced by our surroundings, and how we influence our surroundings. Our group discussions are usuall …

(mindfulness, awareness, meditation) We have come to realize that we are Not our Ego (false self). We are a social and educational community for people interested in: 1) Shedding their egos (as much as we can) to reveal one's true self and 2) Practicing / learning about consciousness, awareness, meditation... which helps us become more selfless and emotionally balanced, resulting in more …

"The purpose of life is to be happy," says the Dalai Lama. Some people think this is a selfish attitude, but in Buddhism, everyone deserves to be happy, including ourselves.  Also, unless we are happy we can't really help others much, and Buddhism is all about helping people be happy and peaceful. According to Buddhism, the mind is both the cause of and the solution to most of our problems. Fortunately, through meditation, an ethical life, and the development of wisdom, we can train ourselves to …

Worker-owned enterprises are an alternative to both private ownership of the means of production (capitalism) and state ownership of the means of production (socialism). Libertarian socialists are just as skeptical of state-run enterprises as they are of privately-owned enterprises. Worker-employee ownership avoids the problems of both but it has practical challenges of its own. This meetup is for everyone that wants to know more about this alternative as well as those who have started or want …

Dr. Fuhrmans's progr …

Secular Saint Augustine hopes to connect local atheists, secular humanists, and other nontheists who enjoy rational and challenging conversation.

It's time to take another look at some of those books we read (or pretended to read) in high school or college. If you went to high school in the 40s or 50s, you actually read books! Authors of fiction such as Dickens, Tolstoy, Camus, Kipling, and Elliott are some of the ones to re-consider. Then there's all that nonfiction, of course, especially the ones we were supposed to read in history, social studies, anthropology and philosophy classes. I've discovered that now, as a gray-haired grandma, …

Although we may not be professional scholars, our group enjoys reading about and discussing thought-provoking ideas in an informal setting.
