Note that this isn't your average meetup, there are no "presentations" or "lead speakers". Please bring your bonsa …

Earth based spirituality is about primal, deep connection.  It's the connection we long for with others and from nature's beauty - trees, plants, and animals.  It's the missing link for many people who've been relying on 'thinking' to seek higher consciousness - either by using thoughts to create more of we want, or by attempting to alter thinking through meditation.  Instead, this group is about nourishing ourselves through nature - plants, animals and other loving humans. Nourishment is what w …

What if everything in your life first started with a thought in your mind? You would then have, either consciously or unconsciously, drawn every result, good or bad, into your life. Would you like to know now how you did that? Whatever that is missing in your life today is only because the thought was never planted in your mind. You can start planting the positive thoughts today. The subconscious mind controls our emotions, habits, how we learn, our behaviors, our memories, our im …

We are a new organization begun in July 2011 to give life to fresh expressions of church. We want to gather folks who are part of churches, who are disenchanted with church or who are seeking a spiritual life without the formal church.  We help encourage, train and resource people to explore and maybe even start a fresh expression of church. We are an initiative of New Ministries of the United Methodist Church.
