Hello, Thanks for checking out this meetup.

My intention for this meetup is to provide a place where a diverse group of women who come from a variety of spiritual paths/ …

Our experiences in dreams and in waking life influence each other equally. Still, we only focus on our waking lives and disregard our sleep adventures as unimportant, somewhat less real and imaginary. Well, everything changes if you can experience your dreams from the perspective of a conscious observer. Many people cannot even imagine what it feels like to be aware in your dreams but many others have experienced lucid dreams at some point in their lives, not knowing they could reproduce them. L …

Reynaldo Soriano, author of "Why You Could Be Destined To Fail in Trading and How You Can Avoid It!" organized this group because it is a fact that 75% to 95% of traders will lose all of their capital in their first 6 months - 3 years of their trading career especially learning how to trade by themselves.

Does 19th-century French philosopher, Henri Bergson, haunt your dreams? If he were still alive (and ambulatory) would you be stalking him? If yes to either, check into a mental health facility immediately, or check out our group. Bergson rated immediate experience and intuition above rationalism and quantitative science. For this he won the Nobel Prize in 1924. Bergson was first and foremost a philosopher of Time and viewed time (motion) as something inherent to matter, not something added to it …

This group is an experiment, and partly a selfish one. I just finished grad school, moved out to the city, and finally have had some time to really explore what it is that I want out of life. And, shit! This stuff can be *difficult* to grapple with. For example, how do we achieve true happiness? What does "success" mean? What are the implications of mortality on daily life? Can we care more about the rest of the world than we currently do? Where the *hell* is Waldo? If you're in your twenties …

If you are one of these unsatisfied people, congratulations! This mindset actually encapsulates one of the qualities of a Super Therapist.
