You might want to share a piece you're writing for publication, something new you've found in a journal or on the web, or something old but brilliant. Or whatever takes your fancy. A facilitator posts details of the piece fo …

Millions of people today are non-religious. Many people simply can’t believe in the existence of a God, particularly in the light of modern scientific discoveries. Nevertheless, despite being non-believers, many feel the heart's intuition of infinity, and have a sense of the underlying unity behind all things. Consequently, many non-believers feel compelled to reject the soulless doctrine of materialism, just as much as they reject belief in the existence of a God. Spiritual intelligence therefo …

A group purposely created for those who identify as Myers-Briggs INFJ. Considering how unique and rare we are, I thought it was not only necessary, but vital for me to create a place where we can feel a little less alone :) I know the world can be a tough place, so if you're in need of an escape and some understanding, you're welcome here! "INFJs are among the rarest of the sixteen personality types, constituting only 1-3% of the general population. Unlike INTJs, in which males predominate, ther …

This is a group devoted to the study, practice and development of narrative therapy practices. Narrative therapy is an approach to working with people and communities, which values people's own skills and knowledge, is non-blaming and seeks to understand the problem as separate to the person. Definitions of narrative therapy are not one-size-fits-all and diverse theory and practices have arisen from the narrative metaphor (see the Dulwich Centre website for more information). Narrative theory an …

[This is NOT for the frivolous meetup goer] Let me start by telling you who this group is NOT for. Someone that's... - not motivated for change in your life at this point - a passive dreamer but avoid action-taking - a personal development junkie (someone who reads and reads but never does) - not ready to invest time + energy in themselves - not interested in goal-setting - does not believe that change can happen, and in an instant if they allow so. Let's talk about what we are about: We …

The Existentialist Society is for those who are fascinated by the ideas of Simone de Beauvoir, Nicholas Berdyaev, Martin Buber, Rudolph Bultmann, Albert Camus, Fyodor Dostoye …

Everyone knows a Nice Guy. The great listener who's female friends call him a catch, but who doesn't have a date on Saturday night.

The purpose of this Group is to assist members to move more deeply into the universal spiritual teachings leading to enlightenment. These ancient but-ever-new teachings are expressed so beautifully by the modern day teacher Eckhart Tolle who is arguably on a par with such revererd teachers of the past such as Krishmurthi, Ramana Maharshi, Meister Eckhart et al. Also being a contemporary teacher he is able to call upon the modern disciplines of Psychology, Neuroscience, Cosmology, Quantum Physics …

Some illnesses have a specific medical cause, making treatment straightforward. If you have diabetes, you take insulin. If you have appendicitis, you have surgery. But depression is more complicated. Depression is not just the result of a chemical imbalance in the brain, and is not simply cured with medication. Experts believe that depression is caused by a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors. In other words, your lifestyle choices, relationships, and coping skills matte …
