How do we awaken here and now as everyday people? Awakening is not just about Waking Up –- to realize the Mystery of our Infinite Nature. It’s also about Waking DOWN -- into life, our bodies, our issues, and relating to others in Mutuality with honor and authenticity. These are the insights of Saniel Bonder, founder of the Waking Down in Mutuality teaching. Our gatherings include silent meditation, mutual gazing meditation, and conscious sharing in a safe container that facilitates deep trust. W …

Following the methods and oral tradition of Gurdjieff, this meetup is an opportunity for those interested in life’s essential questions to exchange. “In speaking of evolution it is necessary to understand from the outset that no mechanical evolution is possible. The evolution of man is the evolution of his consciousness.” “The ideas are a summons, a summons towards another world, a call from one who knows and who is able to show us the way." Who was Gurdjieff? Georgi Ivanovich Gurdjieff (c.a. …

PURPOSE: Share our spirituality and spiritual experience(s), discuss our paths and investigate the ideas and techniques of all (worthwhile) spiritualities and philosophies. Everyone has a spark of God/ the Source/ One etc (whatever finite word we want to call It) in them, to the extent they don’t loose or "sell" their soul.  If we listen to this Spark, it will lead us on our own unique, individual, wonderful and magical path back to the Source. The focus of this meetup is to share our paths, h …

The Greater Lowell Area Skeptics Society (GLASS) was started to help foster a healthy community of critical thinkers who gather to talk, eat, drink, game, and whatever else we do to be fun and social.

If you've ever questioned the evidence for psychics, ghosts, creationism, or the efficacy of alternative medicines, then you might be a skeptic. Join us.

This group does not espouse anti-religion or anti-cultural movements, nor support a particular political or social platform. All thinkers of all social, politi …

In this group, we take it slow! Rather than rushing around taking thousands of photos, we learn to stand still, be present and see the beauty of the moment right before our eyes. Then we discover the most astonishing photos are not taken by us, but given to us. Photography offers a path to mindfulness and can be a form of meditation that connects you to the beauty of daily life. In this moment, we feel revitalized, refreshed, and awake! Do you love to just get so into taking photos you loose tra …

Humanism is a godless philosophy based on reason and compassion. Humanists believe that our morality is based on the well being of conscious creatures, and that no higher power needs to be appeased. Here in Rhode Island, where the Catholic Church holds such sway and power that we can't pass a marriage equality bill or even remove a prayer from our schools without going to court, it's important to remember our founder Roger Williams, the man who first established a part of this world where church …
