We have a small Sangha that meets every Sunday from 4:30 until 6. The general orientation is around Vipassana meditation. We sit to develop mindfulness -- a skilled understanding and orientation to the present moment. Following the Vipassana tradition, meditations focus on the breath, the body, compassionate awareness, and gradually, on the nature and emptiness of mind. We generally sit for about 40 minutes and walk for another 20. For those with time, we will discuss our experiences in the …
It seems that many social groups, as well as many opportunities we have to meet new people, tend to revolve around drinking. While it is a common activity among 20 to 40 year olds +, events where alcohol is a central focus may not provide an ideal atmosphere or solid foundation upon which quality, lasting friendships and relationships can be built.

This is intended to be a casual meetup of like-minded people who are looking for interesting conversation. I have always thought that it would be great if people would hang out in coffee shops in Syracuse and enjoy talking with whoever they happen to run into. Syracuse isn't there yet, but hopefully this will be one small step in that direction.

We are a social networking group of young-minded, active, and adventurous men and women over age 40, located in the Central NY area. Our group consists of both singles and couples. There is a saying that "Life begins at 40". There is some truth to this, as 40 seems to be a milestone age at which many people assess where they are in life and hopefully by then they have also gained some useful perspective. From my experience, most people 40 and above have acquired some improved communication skil …
