A very good debate I recently had with a high-ranking Christian representative inspired me to launch this Meetup group. Most debates between Christians and Atheists are either highly philosophical ("What made existence come into existence?", "What triggered the Big Bang?", "Can we ever prove/disprove the existence of God?") or articulated around scientific inconsistencies in the Bible (miracles, as Christians would argue,) - In my experience though, these debates don't lead anywhere. In this Mee …

Edinburgh Creative Writers Club meets every Monday in Pulp Fiction Books, located at 43 Bread Street, on Mondays. Most people bring something to read and the range style/form, is wide. We've heard poetry, short stories, children's stories, flash fiction, scripts, novels, even ideas ..... and have had discussions over all sorts of things (some even writing related!) including submitting to agents/publishers and dealing with writer's block. Equally you can bring someone else's work, maybe a belove …

With trainings in NLP, Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy being short (you can move from NLP Practitioner to NLP Trainer within a month!) then there are certain quality issues surrounding the practise and delivery of these disciplines. As trainers and therapists increase in number over the years, it is my feeling that a group should be provided that demonstrates excellence and proper application of patterning ascribed to both NLP and Hypnosis.This group will provide continued support for those that have …

Aww. Couldn't get into the Glasgow Book Group? Join us instead. We're inferior to them in every way. Firstly, we choose our books around themes, encouraging our members to bring exciting new work to our attention and turn us on to all sorts of printed delights. Secondly, we meet fortnightly on a Saturday afternoon at The Phoenix Cafe, so we're not urban trendsetters in suits and loafers who like glugging Krug while discussing Dean Koontz. We like cardigans, snot-covered tracksuits and the work o …

Do you enjoy reading non-fiction but hardly ever get round to it because the challenges of everyday life make it difficult to take the time? Would you like to share your views on a book, in depth, chapter by chapter, with other people who have read the same book? Most book clubs seem to meet about once a month and discuss a different book every time they meet. This doesn't seem to work for everyone. If you want to read a book in depth, and not like Woody Allan, who, after reading War and Peace i …

This is networking for people who hate networking. It is for entrepreneurs and self-starters who work in cafes (or from home). It’s an opportunity to work together, learn essential business skills and share skills without the usual ‘working the room’ pressure. Read any article or book on networking and it will tell you that it’s all about building ‘real’ relationships. However, for a lot of people it’s actually all about anxiety (“what’s my elevator pitch”, “how can I introduce myself to people” …
