Leaving no page unturned, and no glass empty! A new twist on an old idea (a 'novel' concept, if you'll pardon the pun)...Book clubs and reading groups are great, but 'ABC Club' aims to shake those notions up just a bit.  'ABC Club' is for women only (sorry guys!) and meets at least once a month to hold a book discussion, and also to share in a yummy potluck gathering including appetizers (finger foods) and beverages (can be of the ‘adult’ variety, but doesn’t necessarily have to be). Books may b …

This is a group for professionals interested in an informal and fun atmosphere where they can discuss their favorite leadership/business books. All specialists are welcome.

The idea is to take the best parts of a book club--having a group of people who've read the same text--and combine it with a sma …

This is a women's book club for fun, relatively fast reads, what is known as "Chick Lit" - our taste varies (check our meet up list). We also go to the movies to watch "Chick Flicks" usually based on a book but, sometimes just because we really want to watch it with the girls! We alternate among "official" chick lit (but not too fluffy so we have something to talk about!) and more "serious" books. You can see our past book list (on the files section) to see what we have read. You can also find …

Enjoy Shakespeare in a whole new way, where everyone participates equally. Here’s how it works: at the appointed hour, we meet and greet each other, and take our seats in a circle. We don't choose parts. Instead, the first reader launches into the opening lines of the play. When the speaker changes in the script, the next reader takes over, and so on. The first time around the circle, you might be the king, the next time, an unnamed maiden! If a speech is long, the reader changes every 8 lines, …

Seeing that there's enormous interest in the Orlando area for a spirituality/Conversations With God Meetup group, my brother and I have decided to start one. Depending on the response, we'd love to start a community of friends who meet regularly to share insights and life journeys, among other things. Though we envision this group to be largely focused on integrating and applying the principles that Neale Donald Walsch describes in his books (Conversations/Friendship/Communion With God and other …

Balance is becoming a rare commodity in the Wiccan community these days. The number of "fluffy bunnies" who see only the bright quarter of the moon and forget the dark side. It is still there, not just empty space. We want to bring balance back to Wiccan (and other magickal) studies, the balanced path of magick as we learned it decades ago when we ourselves were fledgling witches. Today Wiccans seem interested only in doing full moon magick, not in the banishing rituals of the dark moon, such as …

My Money University's (MMU) mission is to change this situation by providing the knowledge and tools to make your money work harder for you and achieve financial freedom! Once a member, you're always a member of MMU and will be a part of a special "community" of continuous …
