Everyone needs a "me" time after hours of giving, giving, giving (at work, at home, to the community). It is time to "recharge". Time to dedicate sometime to "me"! We meet once a week, in a relaxed setting and let our creative juices flow. Even if you think you are not creative, it is contagious. Glass is a beautiful and seductive material, mysterious, full of surprises and contradictions. Come and enjoy the evening over wine, chocolate and music.

Community, Ideas and Information for artists associated with Belmont, Massachusetts

Fact: Cats don’t socialize the way dogs do. Which means cat people don’t have social outlets like obedience classes and off-leash parks where they can share stories about their furry children, find out who the best vet and/or pet-sitter in the area is, and lots of other useful things. This Meetup group is looking to change that. If you are an aficionado of the feline, rather than the canine, version of a family pet – and especially if you are owned by more than one cat – this is the place to get …

The Sequitoria: The Synthesis of Culture and Nature ... ... and the only hope for this planet. The relationship between humankind and the natural world has been fractured. In some places, there is no relationship in evidence at all. Every problem facing mankind*: from inter-personal conflict to international conflict; from social isolation to economic inequality to climate change; from social justice issues to environmental challenges - all have been exacerbated by this growing bifurcation. T …

We are the older generation of nerds and geeks. In the Boston area we fueled the Massachusetts Miracle on 128, and we're aging out. Some of us have put on thirty-five or forty years of Boskones -- the annual family reunion. And some of us go to Readercon...and Arisia...and Lunacon...and Disclave...and Balticon...seems like every weekend could be a con or three these days! But it's expensive and a lot of logistics and some of us don't travel as easily as we used to. We're slowing down. Some of us …

For young women (in their 20's and 30's) who are in a serious relationship, married, or engaged and looking to make awesome new friends! It's hard to go out 3 - 4 times a week like our single friends, (although we love them), they are at a different stage in their lives. Besides, we've gotten accustomed to our daily routines with our partners. We kinda like curling up on the couch with a home cooked meal and watching movies -- isn't that what lazy Friday nights are for? We are in serious relatio …

The purpose of our group is to get people together to learn and share information related to getting along in the great outdoors without a car or a radio or a barbecue grill. "Survival" means a lot of things to a lot of people and we'd love to hear your ideas on the topic. In the beginning we will probably get together infrequently, mostly for 2 or 3 night trips; the more people get involved, the more opportunities we'll have to meet up to talk and then go out to practice! Imagine hiking into …

What is this group all about? Our members aim to become better writers in social scientific disciplines and to see more of our work published. We also like to spend time with others in a lively social venue where we can share good times, good drinks, and good food. Where did the idea for this group come from? If you're like me, the challenge of writing books, chapters, and journal articles for publication can be vexing at times. Rather than succumb to the pressure, I thought it would be better …

This meet up group will bring together small teams of creative individuals to work together to conceptualize, plan, execute and critique short video …
