What are some of our shared christian experiences? How to deal with family who still believe? Hopef …

I wanted to start this group as a way to connect with women who are looking to transform their relationships with all men - in all contexts. My own personal journey has taken me from a place of total frustration and confusion toward men to a place where I understand, appreciate, and effectively communicate with all men. I feel like I now live in an entirely different world. It feels fantastic and I'm far happier! So are the men in my life. :) Ask yourself these questions: Have you ever been co …

There is something seriously wrong with the world today, and it is clear that things are going to get much worse before they get better. What is becoming clearer and clearer to people is that we are on the verge of the most massive financial, ecological, and military catastrophe to have ever occurred in human history. Millions of people starved to death in the last Great Depression, back when most people lived on farms and were self sustainable and much mentally and physically healthier, much mo …

Well, the fact that I am starting this PhD student meet-up group should tell you that I’m procrastinating despite a fast encroaching deadline, and a deluge of emails from my supervisors harassing me about that long overdue chapter. This meet-up is really aimed at nomadic PhD students like myself who do not have a network here.  For example, I am completing my degree in arty-phartysness (Art History and Musicology) through the University of Edinburgh but after two years abroad and living like a h …

“Truly fine poetry must be read aloud. A good poem does not allow itself to be read in a low voice or silently. If we can read it silently, it is not a valid poem: a poem demands pronunciation. Poetry always remembers that it was an oral art before it was a written art. It remembers that it was first song." Jorge Luis Borges This is a meetup group for people who like to read, and be read to. Everyone is welcome!  Bring a passage or two that you like and recite it with the group, then we can tal …
