The Self Inquiry Discussion Group provides an opportunity to meet with others involved in the search for Truth and Self-definition via Self-inquiry. Our meetings consist of an informal and open discussion of paths, teachers, techniques, philosophical and spiritual systems, and possible ways and means for expediting the search. The discussions are not academic or theoretical, but rather focus on our own personal experiences as seekers. There is usually also a period of silent meditation at some p …

Do you love to read? Would you like to try new restaurants over some great discussions with new friends? Welcome to the Syracuse Ladies R.E.A.D. (Read, Eat, and Discuss) Book Club!

If you have a prosperous mindset, a positive attitude toward money, are actively engaged in learning about personal finance, and want to talk about your plans to achieve independence, this grou …

We will establish a new meetup for discussion of classic and contemporary Francophone literature if there is enough interest. In order to give members plenty of time to read each book, we are currently thinking of meeting every six weeks to two months. Because Saturdays at 11 at Freedom of Expresso seems to work for most people, we will keep that time (on a Saturday that the group would not otherwise be meeting).

Do you enjoy readying? Meeting new people? Trying new restaurants and cafes in the area? If yes, this group is for you! This group is open to both men and women (sorry picture options were scarce). We meet monthly at a local restaurant, cafe, or members' houses to talk about a selected book, socialize, and enjoy ourselves.

Take the first step on a journey of self-discovery… Dreams offer us insights and information we can use to improve our lives. They assist us in confronting our anxieties, solving problems, and clarifying challenges we face. But because they often involve puzzling symbols, ambiguity, frightening images, and strange situations, they’re not easy to understand. That’s why most people who want to understand their dreams can benefit from talking with a dream interpretation professional who has the bac …

This group is to help us connect to topics such as: -philosophies of healing -therapist wellness -expandin …

I just returned from a five day Kadampa Meditation retreat in Glen Spey, NY. I was blown away by the profound, clear, and prolific writings of Gen Kelsang Gyato, a Tibetan Buddhist teacher and contemporary of Dalai Lama, who took his teachings from Atisha, who simplified the 84,000 teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni. I would love to start a study group starting with his book called "Modern Buddhism." It would be fun to have an optional vegan potluck meal weekly before the discussion, and then we wou …
