I have began this group because after living in america for 7 years - east bay san francisco area to be exact- i have grown into a person who cares for people, my world, being loving, sharing and i am so surprised that in this area there seems to be no groups of this nature. My vision for this group is simply to unite people of a similar nature, that being people who are spiritual, thoughtful, creative, loving and who want to grow personally and have deeply meaningful connection with people in t …

Hello from Richard... Do you agree to do things, then regret it later? Can you ask for things, without feeling guilty? Can you speak up in a group? When you are embarrassed, or angry, can you still function effectively? Do you promote yourself with impact, or with an apology? Can you be playful and proud at the same time? Courses I started this group in April 2012 in order to publicise the various courses that I run in Leeds. Some of these courses are free, some are at a very nominal price ( …

Fancy being a 'culture vulture' and meeting some new people? This group originally started off as a few friends just going out to gigs. We decided to branch out by doing other arts and culture stuff. It then seemed a good idea to open it up to others.

To many Pagans, their beliefs are more than a religion; they are a way of life, seeking to live in sympathy with nature in today's modern world. Many pagans see themselves as very much a part of nature, not above it. Pagans also advocate self-responsibility; we are responsible for our actions. Due to persecution and misrepresentation it is necessary to define what Pagans are not as well as what they are. Pagans are not sexual deviants, do not worship the devil (are not Satanists), are not evil …

Welcome! (Updated Tuesday 14th May 2013) Hello-ha! Greetings fellow East Lancashirians!  Well, it is now a year since I thought, is anyone else thinking what I am thinking, that there seems little of any real substance to do around Blackburn-Darwen, unless your sole interest in clubbing? A year since I thought, does anyone else want to meet up for interesting conversations, whilst doing meaningful activities, and whilst building supportive local networks? So I (Jenny) have set up an informal soc …
