This group's goal is to get exercise while exploring and learning about the geology and natural science of the San Francisco Bay Area. The aim is the mid-point between the hiking groups that don't stop long enough to explore and learn about what they're passing and the nature groups that see lots of great stuff, but don't get that much exercise. Hikes will be lead by members with knowledge of unique, exotic, or otherwise fascinating features of our area. If you have a favorite hike that you'd l …

About Mindfulness Exercises: The practice of self regulation, of the autonomic nervous system We teach integrated mind-body mental exercises to trigger a natural parasympathetic response in the autonomic nervous system. This response releases powerful neurochemicals (biochemicals) that regulate the immune system. Regulation of the immune system transforms the human body at the cellular level. This natural transformation affects our view, how we feel, and ultimately our perception of reali …

Welcome to the South Bay Law of Attraction Meetup group!

The basic concept is that we materialize what we focus on. That is an excellent reason to think positive! Join this group if you're interested in participating in a …

Publishers and editors are welcome, or if your just new in town and want to hear local writ …

Learning from the Early Church The early church was an ENGAGED church. They were studying and dissecting FOR THE FIRST TIME what was called the New Testament. They had to reconcile whether or not Jesus was the Son of God and HOW He was the Son of God, as well as reconcile how Mary was the mother of Jesus - who is 100% God and was 100% Man. There are many, many more big and important questions answered in the Bible that are not a part of mainstream discussions. Engage your mind. Engage your work. …

I was recently inspired by a New York Times article about informal science and technology lectures that are being held in bars and clubs in NYC. Here's my vision: to organize an informal lecture series at local (and supportive) bars/cafes on whatever topics interest intellectually minded folk (Astrophysics? Anthropology? Health and Wellness? You tell me!). The lecture becomes a place to learn, meet other people, have a drink and interesting conversation, or share what you know! At this point, I' …
