Hailsa! Welcome to The Asatru/Heathen Meetup of OC and Long Beach. Come and meet others in your local area that are interested in Heathenry--sometimes known as Asatru, Fornsedr, Northvedr, Odinism and Norse Belief in a hate free environment.

For Brights, and those who are fans of Brights. Let's socialize and philosophize and politicize in order to bring realists like ourselves better political outcomes. There are only two reasons for "freethinkers" to meet. Maybe three. 1. I don't drink...(1a.) and have a significant other. 2. I don't have kids...enjoy whatever social ecology you need to raise them, and have fun. 3. We can ensure our views are represented politically, so as to assure our freedom of thought.   Let's MEETUP and figure …

Blessings! Just kidding... In a nutshell, I was raised in a fundamentalist pentacostal charismatic christian church and getting over that was pretty rough. I thought I was alone in my experience, but have come across a lot of people who have had similar challenges entering "the world" after leaving fear and guilt-based groups and worldview. The purpose of this group is two-fold: 1) Allow ex Christians to share openly and support each other through some of the challenges of leaving fun …

Johrei, to be described simply, is 'prayer' with 'meditation', which many say has powerful healing and stress relief benefits. Though prayer is involved, belief in a particular God or organised religion is not necessary. One night out of the month, Johrei Fellowship has a casual get together to introduce the Johrei philosophy of channeling positive energy, the virtues of nature farming, and art. There is never a cost for attending the meetup or for receiving Johrei. For more information pl …

Hey everyone! I started this group with the intention of getting a group of spiritually-minded people together in a similar age-group to discus all things spiritual, to help reset and recharge and to tackle A Course in Miracles together. I feel that with the help of each other, we can become better, happier, more positive and loving people and radiate our light to everyone around us. This group is for anyone in or around the 18-35 (-ish) age group who has a desire to explore different realms of …

Where is the voice of the Catholic lesbian? We do not hear it in the Roman Catholic Church, and it desperately needs to be! Two Catholic women priests and a female deacon are looking to start a new community for lesbians (celibate and non-celibate) and their friends to come together for study, discussion, worship, spiritual renewal, and compassionate mutual support. Please come and let's talk! Rev. Nori Kieran-Meredith, M. Div, summa cum laude was ordained by Archbishop Mark Shirilau of the …

Even though the theory of evolution has been around the last 150 years, within the last few decades it has re-emerged as the framework in which to evaluate the sciences and philosophy. The purpose of this group is to explore the hard and soft sciences as well as philosophy with respect to evolution's influence on those topics. My intent is to cover one topic per meetup with some potential topics being Fundamentals of Evolution, Philosophy of Mind and Evolution, Evolutionary Biology, Evolutionar …

… Every religion, philosophical belief, and practice is welcomed - we are exploring LOVE which is universal and available to all - we do not follow a specific doctrine and we are willing to explore ANY text that the group show interest in examining. Peace within. Beauty throughout. Jesse
