These techniques include: western, vedic, and chinese astrology, numerology, energy cycles, fung shui, Jungian archetypes, and Enneagram analysis.

Welcome to the Washington/Hudson Heights Book Club, we're glad you're here. A bit about us… About Us We're uptown readers in the Washington and Hudson Heights neighborhoods who love to read.

About Book Club We're a group who mixes it up by exploring a range of authors/genres -- fiction, memoir, debuts, classics, cultural, horror …

Each month, we will read and discuss and/or write about a great classic written by various American or European authors. Some of these books we may have read as children or teens, others may be new to us, but all have had a significant impact on readers around the globe and are worth a read, or even a second read. We will meet at a coffee/tea shop or a wine bar each month to discuss the book of the month and share anything we have written about the book, if designated as an optional assignment.

This group is for those who love reading and watching movies (and eating while discussing them). We want to read great books and watch great films across genres and cultures--and then talk about how they make us think and grow. We will choose books from "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die" and movies from "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die." All Group Members will have a vote--majority will rule on what we read and watch in what order! Here is a link to the lists: http://www.1001befor …

The Queens Literati is a safe haven for avid readers who find themselves searching for a new book or an intelligent literary society. Maybe you're tired of joining group after group, reading the same kinds of uninspired young adult novels that leave you feeling... well, childish. Maybe you're looking for the opportunity to read a challenging book and follow it up with an insightful discussion. Maybe you're a recent Queens transplant looking to make new friends in the area. Maybe the sudden appea …

The Breakdown: We read good books. We're looking for other intellectually curious, like-minded 20somethings (a vague guideline) in Astoria (another vague guideline) to read them with us, share some food, drink, and sweet convo. The Criteria For Choosing Said Good Books: Magical language (with a healthy dash of magical realism), fresh voices (love a debut) irreverent to painfully relevant, growing up, growing old, dying, coming back to life, urban culture to Southern idyllicy, savory books that y …

We are a book club of women (mostly early 30s, some older, some younger) who have been meeting for about four years, but many of our members have moved out of the City so we're hoping for some new people to join. We usually discuss a book every 4-6 weeks over dinner, and read everything from chick lit to nonfiction; all suggestions are welcome. Please join us!

Although gay men now live in the everchanging digital age, few things compare to reading books the way we were taught. How relaxing is it to step away from the computer and lose yourself in a good novel, play or article? Enough blogging, men. Let's read. Let's discuss. Let's explore.

Introducing Stories & Spirits: a book club for booze lovers. We are two book lovers who enjoy the diversity and vibrance of New York's bar scene. So we're starting a book club that takes full advantage of it! We will discuss books in bars that reflect their themes, historical contexts, and cultural heritages. Think Drown at La Marina in Washington Heights. Or The Tiger's Wife at KGB Bar in the East Village. The Museum of Innocence at ilili in the Flatiron District. Or even Blood Meridian at Honk …

Welcome fellow-poetry lovers! Are you a closet poet like me? Let's all 'come out' cause this group is for reading, writing and sharing poetry! Bring your favorite poets' work, your own work (perhaps one and the same!) to listen, learn and get swept away. What's your story? I look forward to constructive criticism, learning more about the history, styles and 'technical' side of this tender art. Perhaps even some live writing challenges/games and of course meeting others who share this passion. Al …

Are you a working professional or college student who prefers the company of other geeks? Do you find yourself frequently wishing there was some sort of watering hole for people like you who watch Adult Swim, revel in the joys of DDR/video games, read esoteric books, and indulge shamelessly in intelligent debate? Do you hate hipsters with an undying passion? Do you need people to drink shamelessly with in order to summon the courage to get on stage to croon in front of a large crowd of karaoke g …

This is a group for those interested in reading and discussing literary memoirs. We love reading memoirs for their ability to show the narrative thread in lives, and to understand the struggles and triumphs of people. If you are an aspiring memoirist or personal essayist, this group will allow you to read and discuss what works and why. We will read one memoir each month, and meet toward the end of the month (tentatively last Saturday) for a few hours in the afternoon to discuss.

I like to watch documentary films. I am sure there are others who are like me in this regard! Therefore, this group is for people who love to see documentary films and discuss/share ideas. I don't know about you but the reason I like documentaries because they help me to connect the dots of my understanding. They help me to see, hear and read at the same time. Reading, traveling, writing etc. can serve similar purpose but watching well-made documentaries can be highly effective plus comparativel …

Every month, we will post links to three unrelated web pages, usually news stories, to discuss at dinner. People are to read these articles (and other sources if they so wish) and come and have dinner to discuss them. The intent is that this REQUIRED reading will take about 2 hours.  The events will generally be on Sunday or Saturday evening to give people time during the weekend to do the reading. The idea is to be like a book club, but with far more modest demands on peoples' time. RSVP's will …

As a young teenager I discovered a hidden talent to read the future through the ancient practice of reading the grounds of Turkish coffee. The stories flowed out of me, and I was able to predict in great detail what would occur over the next several months. Word spread of my talent, and soon I was in high demand. Through the years I have kept up with this tradition of my ancestors and have continued to leave people amazed with the gift. I want now to share with you the mystery of reading the …

"Seekers of the Truth" This is where individuals and groups can come to learn, teach, and study Atlantis and its relationship to New Age Spirituality and Metaphysics. It seems that the Atlantans were enlightened people with superior wisdom and knowledge regarding the command and use of the forces of nature. They called them the Elemental forces that allowed them to do all of their rough, heavy work with ease. Apparently, these forces allowed them to cut stone out of the mountains without the use …
