Hello and Welcome to the Red Line Book Club! (Formerly the Davis Square Book Club). "A book is like a garden carried in the pocket." This is a club where friendly interesting people meet to discuss the books we have all read together. If there is a general theme to the books we read, it's that we read "great" books: enduring classics and new books with lots of potential. You have the entire rest of the world with whom you can discuss Stieg Larsson; here we try to dig at least a little deeper. Fo …

At each meeting the book for the following month can be purchased with ca …
This is a group for all those who miss the pleasure of digging into a new book with the knowledge that on the other side of the cover they will have the opportunity for engaging conversation! Prepare yourself for some mid-brow chatter, snacks, and reading. We're aiming for one book a month, democratic voting selection, and wide array of subject matters probably heavily leaning towards fiction. Did I mention the snacks?

Join other 20- & 30-something ladies for a monthly meet up to discuss the book of the month! Looking for a fun, laid back book club without the drama of Poisonwood Bible or the heaviness of War & Peace? We will read chick lit, as well as classics like Emma. We will try to support woman writers but we will never exclude a hunky guy either..... The book club will meet once a month to discuss that month's book.

Training to be a doula requires a large amount of self motivation and self study. There are no schools for doulas, instead we have a series of scattered workshops and random connections, and the path to becoming an expert is often long and winding with many decisions to make along the way. In the beginning especially, this path is often isolating. Let's work on creating a more cohesive community for doulas in training and beyond where we can learn together, bring our questions and our expertise! …

We are a pretty casual group of ladies who find enjoyment in a good discussion, but as far as book clubs go, we typically do not send out questions in advance or have a concrete schedule as to how each meetup will play out. Often times, our gatherings are split between talking about the book and talking about life in general. We respect each others' opinions and encourage open and honest dialogue at our gatherings. We have a wonderful group of regulars, but always welcome new members! We do …

We will get together to discuss Carl Jung's work. Our first sequence of meetings will focus on "The Red Book," a very personal account of Jung's own spiritual/psychological journey that contributed significantly to his most influential psychological theories. Many regard this work as breathtakingly beautiful as well as monumental (just see its reviews on Amazon). Our discussion emphasis can range from academic and analytical to highly personal, if members wish to share the impact of Jung's ide …

What is this group all about? We are a niche writer's group whose members aim to become better social science writers and to see more of our work published. We also like to meet new people and socialize (of course, when we're not writing). Where did the idea for this group come from? The challenge of writing books, chapters, and journal articles for publication can be vexing at times. Too often, our work is paired with the pressure of tight deadlines and the well-known, "publish or perish." I am …

This group is for people who want to learn how to use analytical meditation in their lives. We plan to meet weekly in Concord in the evenings around 7:00 PM. We do not know where we are going to meet yet. We believe truly in Buddhism as a great philosophical system for helping us all lead happier lives. The root of that is focusing on undermining the ignorance of inherent existence. This group aims to be fun and to focused on debating and discussing how we are ignorant in our own lives. We hop …
The purpose of this group is to educate one another about AI and related fields. We're interested in how machines might be made to "think like people," and what is known about the human mind at a computational level. Usually we pick books or papers as a starting point for discussion. Sometimes we have mini-tutorials on AI topics. Anyone interested in studying intelligent machines is welcome. We have people with diverse backgrounds in AI, neuroscience, and other areas. Additionally, some of …

I have knowledge to share, and I want to learn from you as well. There's always room to improve each others' lives. I want to start this group with a discussion of Lynne Twist's new book, The Soul of Money: Reclaiming the Wealth of our Inner Resources. But ideally, I want to LEARN FROM YOU and use th …
We meet for friendly discussions sharing the incredible things we have attracted and how we continue to develop our awareness. Some of our discussions have been inspired from reading books like "The Secret" and "Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting". The discussions are fun and it's great to connect with others that speak the same language. The group attracts both seasoned manifestor's as well as those who are just beginning to understand. In addition to monthly discussions, I offer group workshop …
