This is a group for anyone interested in learning and exploring more about the Malta, the Jewel of the Mediterranean. From its North African and Arabic influences (listen carefully to the local language) to the Sicilian-inspired cuisine, few European countries have such concentrated history, architecture and, yes, beaches in so tiny an area. Malta has loads of unique charm, and I started this group to connect with others who want to experience it ... including language, culture, food and wine, v …

I started this meetup group to combine two things.. Dancing and as a social group for freethinkers.. This meetup piggybacks on a dance meetup, so most people there will be dancers. "Freethinker" is an umbrella term for atheists, agnostics, as well as the occasional Buddhist or deist, classical freethinker (like the American Founders), and many Unitarians. It is the fundies who should be singled out (not freethinkers), so I would rater have a freethinker meetup, rather than an atheist meetup.. B …

What if we treated depression as a rite of passage instead of a disease? There may not be a lot of support for this notion in our current mental health system, but there's a long history of well-documented cases—even within Christian mysticism—of deep, dark depressions, and “dark night of the soul" experiences leading up to profound and life-changing transformations. Depression is often regarded as a stigma is our culture, something that you should be ashamed of and hide from friends, family …
