At any moment, see what your mind is doing. It is going into the past or the future. It is angry about the past or anxious about the future, isn't it? When this oscillation of the mind stops, THAT is when you get in touch with the source of energy, which is YOU. All the human values that we treasure and cherish - Happiness, Joy, Love, Compassion, Caring, Friendliness, Enthusiasm, Creativity, Relationships - can only be lived and experienced in the present. But, when we are caught up in the chat …

Hi My name is Diane and I own the Twin Photography Group on Meetup. It has come to my attention that there are a lot of meetup organizers in MN and we are all doing events and working hard at getting our groups going. So why not share resources , tips and ideas or do joint events to benefit both groups? It is my hopes that this meetup group will be a meeting place for both organizers and assistant organizers to gather and brainstorm. My group owns a large studio space  centrally located between …

This group was started for people interested in exploring the whole natural fitness movement that is blossoming out there right now. This might include things like hiking, playing in nature, body weight exercises, barefoot running, paleo nutrition, etc. If you are interested in exploring these activities and ideas and would like to meet others in the Twin Cities doing the same, this group might be just the place for you! The main inspiration for the group is MovNat style training, but we also li …

Hula hooping has never been this bad-ass before, so come out, develop your skills, and have a good time.This new Meetup needs to find a home.

Welcome to Electronically Bent MSP. Surprisingly, there is not a single Meet-up group for electronic music in the Minneapolis-St Paul metro area. That is one of the reasons that inspired me to create this group. This group is for everyone who likes electronic music and would like to meet like-minded people, discover/share electronic music and dance to electronic music. I feel some of the best electronic music that you may have heard and would love to dance to, will never get played in a club (in …

Loving-Kindness Meditation Group is dedicated to the practice of Samatha Vipassana, also called Tranquil Wisdom meditation. Concentration yoked with Insight. Using the Brahma-Viharas or the breath as the object of meditation, we cultivate the Jhanas and Insight simultaneously as described in the Pali canon. Interestingly, if these instructions are followed closely, results described in the texts are attainable.  The instructions and practice are simple and easy to apply to everyday life. The goa …

Ever hear about the Art Salon of Paris in the 1800's and New York in the early 1900's. Our artist friends agree that we need a place today to gather, discuss the arts, show current work and reflect on past artist's work. It is an experiment, testing to see whether the topics that intrigue us have meaning and significance beyond a select few, and seeking to create a time/space within which we can stir a lively, rigorous discussion about the state of art - local, national and international - yours …

This is a group for like minded individuals (men and women) dedicated to learning the art of attraction.  We do accept beginners, however if you do not know what the PUA community is we will deny your application. PUAs are not players: players lie and cheat, we do not.  If you do this is not the place for you.  Be respectful and always support your wingman.

Another happy hour group, but one with a specific area in mind. If you live or work in or near downtown Minneapolis, this one should be easy to get to and from.  Everyone is welcome though.  Relax after work, enjoy a cold drink, and meet some new people. I started this group since I live downtown but travel a lot and work out in the middle of nowhere.    So I figured there's got to be others who are in the area, but looking for people to join them and meet new people...

You’ve probably heard a lot about Pinterest.The site’s popularity has exploded from 1.2 million users in August 11 to over 15 million today.

Pinterest is a place to organize and share online images that you find interesting or inspiring. These images become known as Pins, which you can place on customized, themed Boards. You can create Boards for any topic imaginable, …

If you are single and would describe yourself as a secular humanist, an agnostic, an atheist, a freethinker, or a naturalist, etc, this group is for you. Having shared belief systems does not guarantee a successful relationship, but it does help stack the deck. There are many faith-based singles groups, as though they really need them; they can find each other everywhere. Non-theists, however, are a minority. As non-theists we generally do not wear a symbol around our necks that allow us to reco …

It is a 99-day course designed to create permanent change in underlying beliefs, and everyday emotions and actions. There is usually only one course running at any given time, so it is important to contact the instructor to find out when the next course will begin.

The Conscious Club was born of the ever increasing desire we all have to enjoy a social outing that is fun, informative and uplifting in every way. Created by three gents in Australia on the basis that they and so many of their friends were tired of going to the same old pub or club, yelling at each other for a number of hours before coming home with nothing to show for it except a hoarse voice and a hang over. The guys realised that everyone is going out to clubs and getting UNCONSCIOUS, so the …

Let's get together with others who enjoy opening up their hearts, minds and bodies to Spiritual Growth & Developement, Healing and Energy, Psychic Exploration and more! This group will be committed to bi-monthly meditations (and perhaps weekly guided meditations with Susan Andersonp once we get going), and other avenues of keeping our minds and bodies in check with the universe and being our best possible selves. All who embrace these visions and the mission are welcome. Namaste ~ BJ

This group is all about 20-something-year-olds stepping out of their comfort zones and trying new things. The idea is to pick one random thing each week for the group to do together, such as attend a dubstep show, go snowshoeing, visit an art gallery, barhop in Downtown Minneapolis, run a 5k, etc. I started this group because I love doing random things. Recently however, after landing a 9-to-5 job, I haven't been as spontaneous as I would like to be, which is why I created this group: I want us …

This is a group for anyone in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area interested in growing and exploring life through yoga, meditation, health and fun events!

Ideally, you abide and enjoy the social contract when playing middle-weight board and card games. Bring to teach and learn to play. Somewhere in the dead-center of the board and card gaming universe are folks who want the challenge of learning and playing Euro and "Ameritrash" board games and card games. Those folks have a long and varied list of games they wish to play. When a game calls for it, those folks don't mind managing luck, being tinkered by or tinkering with others, and accepting vict …

YogaQuest started as a class and has become a community! YQ, the studio (or YQdio), is inclusive of people of all shapes, sizes and fandoms. If you have been scared away from other wellness classes because they're too hardcore or too crunchy - you've finally found your place. The word "yoga" literally means union - we want to bring people together - because, after all, isn't geeking out with others a lot more fun?! The YQdio will offer "regular" yoga, in addition to our Original flavor - as well …
