If you are curious and would like to explore the wonders to be found at L.A. museums, please join us.  We don't have to see everything or spend all day. We can …

Hi Everyone! I started this meetup because there are so many books I want to read, and I think that discussing them with others will make it more fun, challenging, and fulfilling. My academic background is in Philosophy and Anthropology . . . but there is so much more to discover! This is a meetup for people who love learning and thinking about the world around them: sociology, history, philosophy, evolution, primatology, cognitive science, cultural studies, biographies, political science, curre …

"Seekers of the Truth" This is where individuals and groups can come to learn, teach, and study Atlantis and its relationship to New Age Spirituality and Metaphysics. It seems that the Atlantans were enlightened people with superior wisdom and knowledge regarding the command and use of the forces of nature. They called them the Elemental forces that allowed them to do all of their rough, heavy work with ease. Apparently, these forces allowed them to cut stone out of the mountains without the use …

We often hear these days that women are going to change the world and that we're the ones we’ve all been waiting for. But, we have to change ourselves in order to change the world. Entrenched patterns in our psyches and culture that go back generations too often dog our attempts to move beyond the status quo. Even with the breakthroughs of the last fifty years, old impulses, desires and beliefs still largely dictate our identities as women. While each one of us bears the weight of history, we al …

LOS ANGELES BABY BOOMER TENNIS TENNIS AFTER 40....WHEN LIFE BEGINS I read somewhere that age does not depend on years, but upon temperament and health. Some people are born old, and some never grow so. How many times have you thought it would be nice to get out and hit some tennis balls as you might have years ago? Could getting back into tennis without wooden racquets and finding players around your own age be just the spark to a healthier lifestyle we all want? Do you think all those people …

How many of us moved here, bought guidebooks, and planned to go to all the museums, take in all the culture and see all the sights? And then we got jobs, and then we got busy, and now it's been years, and we still haven't been to the Science Museum, or the Norton Science Museum? I know that's the case for me! I've been making New Year's resolutions to go to at least one museum/cultural thing a month, but something always comes up, and besides, it's more fun to go in groups and meet like-minded f …

Hello, and welcome! This group is intended for working parents of toddlers and babies (ages 0-4), who may feel a bit stuck on the social side, and who want to create lasting friendships with other parents, and age-appropriate peers for their children.  Many active groups for this area cater to stay at home parents, and many of their meet ups and events don't often fit the busy schedule of working parents that don't have time during the weekdays to participate.  The goal of this group is to find …
