This is a support group for people with Alexithymia. Alexithymia is not to this day very well understood, some say it is a personality trait, some other believe it is a disorder that overlap with autism and aspergers. Some alexithymics are completely blind to emotions, some other feel them with a delay and finally some are only affected with certain categories of emotions. Let's meet and connect around this syndrome and find what works and does not work for us. There will not be any meetup until …

However, this group will discuss the lighter topics and presume little or …

If you are reading this page, you probably already know what a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) is, and you probably are one. But just in case, "HSP" is a concept explained by Dr. Elaine Aron in her 1996 book "The Highly Sensitive Person." If you identify as a Myers-Briggs INFJ or INFP, an empath, an Indigo or an "intuitive" there's a very good chance you're also an HSP. If you'd like to learn more, we highly recommend that you visit her web site and take her sensitivity self-test. This extensive o …

Meet other local people who are interested in an exchange of ideas and information regarding the study of dreams, synchronicity (meaningful coincidence) and imagination. Using Robert Moss' book The Three 'Only' Things as a starting point, we'll explore how to take these marginalized dimensions of life seriously, using them for practical guidance as well as to increase self-awareness and our sense of meaning and purpose. Clarissa Pinkola Estes tells us: "Asking the proper question is the central …

Where does "brain" end and "mind" begin? How can we understand consciousness and self-awareness? Our discussions may also touch on practices such as meditation and yoga, although the focus of the group is not metaphysics. Join other "curi …

This group was created based on my interest and fascination with dreams. That will still be a large focus, but I am expanding the scope to include intuition, empathic abilities, and subconscious communication. If you are a Highly Sensitive Person, Empath, or Intuitive, you are already more prone to remembering dreams, and having more psychic and paranormal experiences than the rest of the population. If those descriptions don't apply to you, but you are interested in dreams and the subconscious …

The modern academic definition might be the study about how to think and know systematically and correctly,  by the proper use of logic, reason, and language--rigorous scientific and analytic philosophy. We have e …
