Welcome to the Childhood Nostalgia Book Club! This is a Minneapolis and St. Paul based traditional book club with a delightful twist. Just like most book clubs, we meet in a local Twin Cities venue on a monthly basis to discuss a selected novel while enjoying good company and drinks. However, instead of focusing on the current NY Times best seller, our book club reads a piece that was enjoyed during our younger years. This group is most likely to be enjoyed by women, though any grownup who appr …

My husband and I are a couple in our 30s looking to meet friends (couples, singles) over some fun discussions.

Every month, one "TEDtalk" will be selected (a free internet video ~ 10 minutes from http://www.ted.com/talks) about any of a variety of topics - the meaning of life, science, music, etc. You can watch it on your own before the meetup - or just wait until th …

I've been looking to join a book club for quite some time, but I never found one that appealed to me. After a lot of unproductive grumbling, I've decided to try starting one myself. Everyone's A Critic (EAC) is open to anyone who enjoys books and isn't shy about sharing their opinions about said books. I try to encourage a diverse reading selection, so please feel free to offer suggestions (fiction or nonfiction). Members usually send me suggestions and then we do a poll to pick a selection. …

This group is for Spanish speakers of all levels: from native to novice. In my experience, the trouble with learning a new language is three-fold: fear of speaking, making time to practice and hitting plateaus in ability. This group is being created to address these issues. We'll meet in a casual environment with the understanding that mistakes will be made in speaking...and made often. We'll have a standing conversation time on Wednesday or Thursday nights (TBD by the group) somewhere near the …

We are not a book club.  We are a group of women aged 50 plus who get a lot of  knowledge, support, ideas and encouragement from each other to be the best, happiest, true to ourselves people we can be.  We do this through discussing topics that each of us suggest at one point or another.  We may start out at one point and end up in a completely different direction because that is the way the wind blew our interest that night.  We laugh a lot, we get shocked, we share our knowledge and experience …

What is Interspirituality? According to One Spirit Learning Alliance, "The Interfaith initiatives of the late twentieth century—the opening of dialogue and sharing of wisdom among leaders and practitioners of different religions—have flowered into an exciting new possibility for spiritual exploration and expression. The late Wayne Teasdale, author of The Mystic Heart, coined the term 'Interspirituality' to describe this new spiritual perspective." We'll be meeting up to explore Interspirituality …
