Someone recently said, poetry is not meant to be read quietly, but to be listened to. So just like in the Dead Poets Society movie, I would like to meet with people who also love poetry, love to read it aloud, love to perform it, love to talk about it and love to write it. - Let's come together sharing poems and why they touch us the way they do.

We are informal, but do a pretty good job of sticking to the book with our discussion.  Every few months we'll select the next 3 or 4 books at on …

Twelve Step meetings are great.  However, are there times when you have yearned for still deeper meaning or a clearer understanding of how to apply what is referred to as spiritual principles to daily living? The purpose and vision for this Meetup is to provide a safe, non-judgmental forum where we can explore a diversity of teachings.
