This ECKANKAR Meetup is about learning how you can get meaningful answers for yourself and your family members. It’s about discovering tools that can help you and your family gain more understanding of your lives and help you live it better, calmer, and happier as more aware Souls.

Wine country is amazing, but we were lacking a book club which fueled me with the idea to start a casual monthly book club.  We are a small group who enjoys good books, great restaurants, and even better conversation.  Each month, a different member "hosts" the meeting.  It is up to that person to choose our book, the restaurant to meet at, and lead our discussion.  Any book is fair game (we have read mysteries, historical fiction, memoirs, and much more to come) and any restaurant is open to us …

Are you tired of the way you look and feel? Have you tried every "diet" out there with little or no lasting success? Have you been exercising regularly and still not losing those few extra pounds? You are not alone.

In this unsupportive environment, it is no wonder that two-thirds of adult Ameri …

This group is to connect women who want to get to know each other while discussing newspaper articles and other things we care about. This is like a book club, but instead we discuss articles from online newspapers or magazines.  Members/visitors can suggest articles and share links to articles by posting on our page or under "discussions." Then, a few days before each meeting, members will receive an email with links to the online articles that we will discuss for the next meeting. We meet 1-2 …

Sisterhood, friend, kindred spirits And we all know we are stronger united!!!! I loved this and felt it should be added.... Why only women? In a society where we have long been our own enemy, when women come together and connect, we find healing on a whole new level. When we heal our relationship with other women, we transcend competition, secrets, and distrust. We keep each other grounded by sharing our stories with one another, because we come to realize we are not alone in whatever it is w …

A group for Salem area singles that want to get together for fun activities, dinning, and enjoying each other's company.

Our goal here is to combine a fun friendly environment where we can get together and shoot in a studio to start off and work our way out into the world with the experience to capture what we are seeking.  Controlling the lighting is key, and capturing great shots is the reward. My goal is not to run the membership numbers up with non participants, so you wil need approval to join and may be subject to being eliminated from the membership role if you are not participating.  This will not mean tha …

Ever notice how there is NO gay neighborhood in Portland, OR? Also, there isn't a full time LESBIAN bar here anymore either. So my fellow lesbian friends and I thought it would be super smart to create a LESBIAN SOCIAL CLUB. LESBIAN SOCIAL CLUB: We'll pick a date, time and spot every month for lesbians to congregate. We've heard of this working before in other cities so we thought we'd try it here. Nothing formal just a suggestion..."Hey all the lesbians are hanging here tonight....and so on!"

In August of 2012, I set out to expand into the great Pacific Northwest, settling in Portland, OR. With me I brought my many experiences of what Meetups should be, based on my experiences before. I came with the great experiences from MBB's Original Chapter. We started once as a floating 'bachelor party' and turned into an education into the finer things in life - high quality food and beverages, wild nights of risque events, themed parties, music of an eclectic nature, and all that the city giv …

We are a group of people interested in taking a closer look at the World Trade Center attack of September 11, 2001, and exploring creative and effective ways of sharing what we learn.  We have a s …
