We live in a very promising time. It is also a very challenging time. At least that’s how it looks like to us humans. It’s a time when the human spirit is triumphing and books are being rewritten. Love, sharing & the healing of our fellow man is becoming what is normal. The other side of this coin is a reality full of people who are hurting - who are hurting other people who are hurting. It is causing a great disturbance that is rooted in the spiritual & that manifests physically as war, di …

We gather to discuss books that are variously called psychological memoir, first person accounts, or autobiography about the experience of suffering from mental illness. Our scope is broad, including addiction, developmental disabilities, and family dysfunction. Our selections are intended as accurate representations of human experience and must be a well written work of literature. Our name is of course a reference to Marcel Proust, even though many would dispute that he should be classified as …

Being an empath and intuitive means so much more than it used to. It has evolved to expose the PURPOSE of why one is here. An empath is sensitive and feels things in their own physical/emotional being “more” comparison to those around them.  They have a heightened awareness that they are different, others can affect them emotionally and even physically.  For many, they may reach a point of this being overwhelming, where functioning on a daily basis has become very hard and/or feels impossible. O …

We all need support and guidance as we face the joys and sorrows of everyday life. From childhood through our older years, we encounter new challenges. Our community and/or family may be unable to offer us the emotional support, know-how and/or life skills to help us regain our balance. I started this meet-up to encourage people (individuals, couples,families) to reach out as human beings who are facing bumps in the road and need a place to share with others that feels safe where we can share ou …

Breath Work is a means for people to access non-ordinary realms for spiritual growth and healing.

An energy charge is created in the body, and as the energy disperses, it serves to release, or to cleanse blockages, emotional, physical and physiological. Possible experiences include: resolution and release of current problems, unresolved childhood wounds, birth memories, past life remembra …

Living with epilepsy can sometimes feel ridiculously isolating and stressful. Our aim is to bring people together to share their stories, coping mechanisms, and experiences with different kinds of treatment. Dealing with the psychological repercussions, working your way through the bureaucratic red tape to get help, and finding and learning about new treatments is a lot easier with help from people who have already gone through it. All this aside, getting together and just talking about livin …
