AA meetings are great and all. But do you ever feel like just hanging out where talking about your problems and addictions is not the primary reason for getting together? Invariably, all of the meetup groups for single people plan meetups for "drinks", and often associate "fun" with drinking events. This group is about more than just finding a potential dating partner or a healthy mate. This group is also about forming friendships with sober minded people that like to get out of their home …

With the press of clinical work, broader intellectual needs of mental health clinicians can go wanting. But clinical fields are hardly the only—one could easily argue not even the strongest—avenue to understanding lives. Many scientific and scholarly disciplines study, and shed light on, human nature, suffering and well-being, and conditions that make for better and worse lives. This study group explores the work of such disciplines. This is not a book club. We will devote to each topic we addre …

I just arrived in Portland after a 4-year global walkabout and am looking to meet like-minded traders and investors in Portland. I am a regular guy and full-time stock market position trader/investor and an author. To my knowledge, trading/investing is the most stressful profession/hobby on the planet. Very few people understand first-hand the emotional roller-coaster that is the daily life of somebody fully immersed in the stock market. Frankly, I have found it difficult to find others who are …
