Would love to meet with people interested in reading mystery genre books. After long hours at work, it's nice to escape into a great mystery.  We've been meeting over five years! We meet the LAST SUNDAY of the MONTH from 3-5 pm at the Beaverton Library.. The goal is to meet other with similar interests and have some fun exchanging favorite authors and books. In addition, we sprinkle our Murder Mystery Parties and sometimes outtings; Mystery Train and now Eddie May Mystery Theatre.  And we need …

This Book Club is exclusively for current or former members of Moms Meetup of Central Oregon (MMOCO). Each month Book Club members take turns suggesting book titles for the members to read as a group. The member whose book suggestion is chosen to read that month hosts the Meetup to discuss the book at either her home or a public venue on the second Monday evening of the following month (though we can vote to change this date on a monthly basis as needed). This is an excellent way for members to …

New to town? Too much free time on your hands? Like to read? Like to be social? This group is somewhat of a mishmash, but the idea is to have monthly book club meetings as well as social events. There aren't really any kind of general purpose meetup groups in Eugene, so in addition to book discussions I'd like to also be a bit more of a general purpose social group for those new to town or looking to get out and meet people. We try to do a wide range of events to accomodate varying interests. …

Learning to lucid dream, astral project, or have an out of body experience requires work and practice in the real world. I have personally had many lucid dreams, and have even had an incredible out of body experience. I know others that have seen/predicted the future in their dreams with amazing accuracy and detail. For decades I have read about people with money (grants) performing lucid dream experiments in labs with high tech equipment and often thought how cool it would be to get involv …

This group hopes to encompass a diverse array of interests and experience levels, whether you are new to hiking or an experienced backcountry traveler. We also aim to give back to the Wilderness community whenever possible via myriad stewardship opportunities and such. Please suggest any ideas you may …

Wine country is amazing, but we were lacking a book club which fueled me with the idea to start a casual monthly book club.  We are a small group who enjoys good books, great restaurants, and even better conversation.  Each month, a different member "hosts" the meeting.  It is up to that person to choose our book, the restaurant to meet at, and lead our discussion.  Any book is fair game (we have read mysteries, historical fiction, memoirs, and much more to come) and any restaurant is open to us …

Meet with like minded spiritual group as a support system. A place to share your gifts and expand your own. Angel communication, meditation, Crystal's, drumming, power animal totem readings, journaling and reiki are just a few of what the members are bringing to the meeting. So if you want to bring another talent or learn about one, this is a great place to do it.

I'll be honest....I have no friends! I just moved to the Portland area for business. I have a great job, an amazing boyfriend...but I miss spending time with girls! I know I can't be the only twenty-something, semi-single career gal new to the area, and thought this might be a fun way to meet some fun girls. The group will be about the reading if you'd like it to be...or we could talk about the book for about 15 minutes and then just drink wine.

I decided to create Spanish BabyTime because I have not been able to find a Spanish playgroup for my little girl now 1 year old that provided what I was looking for. The purpose of this group is to expose little ones to español through song, play, rhymes and reading books out loud. If your first or second language is español or you would like your child to learn or hear another language come join us. Our mission is for our children to learn español with other children through fun and play. Every …

There are introvert meetups all across the country. Let's have one in our community, which is rich in fascinating and unique introverts. Being an introvert in a largely extroverted world is tough! You'd like to meet others like yourself, but we're all busy reading a good book, watching a good movie, spending time in the woods, running, biking, doing art, often times by ourselves or with just one or a couple of other good friends. We live in a world where extroversion seems to be the norm. Introv …

We are people who prepare. We may have different reasons for coming to the conclusion to prepare but we can learn from each other. The most important part of the preparation equation is yourself. You must prepare your mind and body. All the equipment in the world is not going to help if you yourself are not prepared. Anyone who prepares should join, both beginners and experienced are welcome. When the SHTF, where will you be? Chances are you will not be at home where the majority of your prepara …

The Gift Economy is a powerful way for us to give and receive to each other freely that means less dependence on money, more opportunities to give our most precious gifts and skills, and the ability to get what we need without worrying about whether we can pay for it. Also it gives us a way to make the exchanges of our life about caring and relationship rather than the neutrality of money. At the Eugene Gift Circle we meet to share what we have to give and receive with one another, and set up t …

It's one thing to study the Law of Attraction by reading books, listening to CDs, and attending lectures but it's another to put what you have learned into practice.  How do you make that transition from holder of knowledge to being a successful manifester and life changer?  You can join "Living" LOA where we are about incorporating the Law of Attraction into our daily lives to uplift energy, spirit, health, and our dreams. To accomplish this, the majority of our activities are geared toward int …

We host CHAMBER JAMS!!! the manifesto: We love classical music. We love playing classical music. We love listening to classical music. We are tired of the elitist and inaccessible nature of the classical world. We believe that there are many that would enjoy classical music if they could access it in a setting that is comfortable for them. We believe classical musicians should be allowed to perform in a setting that is more casual - where the audience is allowed to have a drink, eat a scone, lau …

I enjoy reading, and honestly, I need to make more friends in Portland.  (Really, who doesn't? Couldn't we all use more friends? and books to read? Anyway...) My plan for this group is to host one meet-up a month where we will get together to discuss that month's book, and enjoy some food.  The first couple will probably be held at a public venue, but I am hopeful to host out of my apartment after I get settled a bit in this role as group leader.  I will post other activities as meetups during t …

If you are an avid mystery reader, this group is for you. Let's pick the best books--from cozies to capers, police procedurals to noir, series books or stand-alones--and get together to talk about them. What made the book work (or not) for you? We'll meet once a month to discuss the current book and pick the next two. I love British mysteries, but am constantly beguiled by books that don't fall into that category and seem to come at me out of the blue. You never know when you're going to come ac …

Why is this not your average women's book club? 1. We are going to read fun intelligent books that probably won't be on Oprah's list. 2. We are going to meet up in bars and pubs (in the Beavertonish area) instead of living rooms and coffee shops. 3. You don't have to be a big reader, just read a few pages so you can discuss. You will never feel bad for not finishing the book here! 4. Last but not least we wont take ourselves to seriously. This is about meeting new friends and having a good time. …

I can't get enough of the tarot “treasure house of images”.  I can't help buying books about the tarot. My reading would be more satisfying if I had others to discuss them with.  Let’s meet up to discuss some of our favorite tarot writing, both fiction and non-fiction. FOOL The wise man hears of the Gate and studies the lock every day. The devotee hears of the Gate and tries to squeeze between the bars. The fool hears of the Gate and laughs. Without laughter the Gate would never open. Rachel Po …
