We are living in a time of very fast changes, quantum technologies and leaps of consciousness. Consciousness is something that we all share... but much has been hidden or deleted from our history and from our most sacred and ancient texts. ...So, we're not playing with a full deck! The Mystery School uncovers and explores the alternative history of humanity's ancient past and delves into the possibilities of our galactic future. Our Round Table discussions are about the human mind, consciousness …

Meet other locals who are interested in exploring Philadelphia's legendary nooks and crannies, delving into its rich, flavorful history and discovering its best kept secrets! "Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints." Urban exploration is the the examination of the normally unseen or off-limits parts of human civilization. To capture the past and explore the lives that once walked the hallways. Every abandoned structure was at one time a new, costly, state of the art endeavor that …

Started this group so runners can have a location to discuss running related topics. The purpose of this group is to have an open forum for runners to share information and to discuss topics of interest. Runners of all ability levels are welcome.

This is a meet-up for "like minded individuals" to get together over a good bottle of wine, paired with a good meal and share thoughts/feeling about wine, winemaking and viticulture in general. We are a group of "Wine Enthusiasts" that meet at various locations in the South Jersey area; with an occasional foray into Philly and Delaware. Members and their guests are required to pay a non-refundable, $2 event fee, which will be collected at the event.        

I started this group to gather sewers, embroiderers, needlepointers, and other stitchers. It's a time-honored tradition throughout history for crafters to socialize, exchange ideas and techniques, and feel motivated to finish projects! There is no age-limit, skill level, or gender, but you should have some knowledge of embroidery (or a really strong desire to learn) and enjoy the company of others.

A social group for all of us who are proud to be GenX and many of us no onger getting carded. We're going to explore craft brews in the Philadelphia area and make fun of the wine drinkers. Just kidding. Maybe. Open to everyone but focused on the tiny generation born between the years 1965 and 1985. Or if you: remember having to "learn" email, when making a phone call changed to 20 cents, think the 1980 Winter Olympics was the ultimate in sport history, Mike Schmidt, Dr. J, the Muppet Show, pegg …

Do you find yourself humming Palestrina, Monteverdi, Haydn, Whitacre, Britten, or other choral music in general? Well, I do, and part of me thinks there are more like me in the greater Philadelphia area!

… Most people are involved in this sort of thing because they like adventure, architecture, photography, history, and meeting new people with common interests.  This is not a group for suburban people who are looking for secret gardens, quaint center city tea shops, or typical "off-the-beaten-path city tours".  Please read this wiki before you join... just to make sure that you know what you are signing up for: /link/ While of course most UE groups are certainly LGBT friendly, this group is specif …

For decades, Greenpeace has stood up to the world's worst polluters, no matter how powerful. Now, we're calling on you to stand up too, to help us to meet the greatest environmental challenge in the world's history. We can rescue the climate, but it's going to take all of us. Join the Energy [R]evolution by becoming a Greenpeace volunteer!

The Philly Museums and Technology group is an outgrowth of the Museums and the Web Conference held in Philadelphia in April, 2011. The purpose of this group is to continue the conversation of how we are using technology in our museums. Museum technology can be low-tech interactive experiences, high-tech multimedia presentations, Web 2.0, Museum 2.0, collection management systems, mobile apps, physical computing, art projects, games, or anything you want to it to be!

Transit-Friendly Hikes and Walks in (or near) Philadelphia are my personal focus as Organizer (as a car-free person), although carpooling is occasionally arranged.  I originally joined this group because of its low-key focus: simple local hikes, within an hour's drive of Philadelphia.   Please check our past calendar for the kinds of events we do (and may again).  Also please contact me if you have ideas for future events (especially if you are willing to work on them yourself). Thanks and see y …

… Bankers, but for American Citizens that got caught up in one of the largest Banking Mortgage loan scams in the history of America. Higher pay for our Police and Fire fighters, instead of hiring inexperienced private security contractors and media, to investigate American Citizens, and real Health care for all American Citizens, who are uninsured, Strong Immigration Reform and enforcement, and the complete restoration of our basic Human and Civil Right to Privacy, which we as American Citizens we …
