Meetup has allowed us to make some amazing friends, learn more about the world and ourselves all while having a great time and we want to ensure that …

Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy. Happiness comes from deep within, and not from people, situations, or circumstances. According to Researchers from Harvard Medical School and the University of California, San Diego: “When an individual becomes happy, the network effect can be measured up to three degrees. One person’s happiness triggers a chain reaction that benefits not only his friends, but his friends’ friends, and his frien …

I enjoy reading, and honestly, I need to make more friends in Portland.  (Really, who doesn't? Couldn't we all use more friends? and books to read? Anyway...) My plan for this group is to host one meet-up a month where we will get together to discuss that month's book, and enjoy some food.  The first couple will probably be held at a public venue, but I am hopeful to host out of my apartment after I get settled a bit in this role as group leader.  I will post other activities as meetups during t …

Hi, I'm Suzanne.  I'm involved in other meetup groups but can't seem to find activities on my side of town so I'm starting my own!! This is for anyone that is looking to develop new friendships while playing games, sharing food, having a cocktail, watching movies or even doing some type of crafty project. A lot of the meetups that I post will be in my home which is located in NE Portland around 82nd and NE Sandy or will be activities in this area of town.  Hope to meet you soon!

This is a group for people living in the Inner NE Portland neighborhoods (Boise, Alberta, Irvington, Concordia, Grant Park, etc).

Meetups will be anything from coffee get togethers, meeting up to walk or run, enjoy grabbing happy hour or a drink, playdates for kids, dinner parties, or anything anyone would like to do. As someone new to the are …

On a practical level, this Portland social group is for lesbian/queer and queer-friendly women who have vitality and a strong sense of self. I say "practical" because I realize that most people use meetup casually, to meet others and find things to do from time to time. But ideally, I'd like to manifest a village of warriors. To me, a true warrior of modern times is a strong woman who has a healthy relationship with power. She speaks her truth, walks her own path, lives by principle instead of c …

Hello ladies! This is a Meetup group in their 30's and 40's who live in Portland proper and would like to make new friends while participating in fun activities.

So I decided to start a group for Portland residents who prefer majority of Meetups to be held within Portland. And for those who also find that it's harder to make lasting friendships the older you get... Or those that a …
