Being more present in each moment in time. This is not a sensual massage site. And it is not a dating or a bonding site. We ask that you use other meetup groups for those purposes. We …

When I was living in SF, I started a Therapist Happy Hour because most of my friends are therapists and it was an opportunity to see everyone. But, what I realized is that so much actually happened in the happy hour.

At this point, I know about 50 amazing therapists and love the idea of great people meeting, connecting and creating community. I hope you come ou …

[This is a draft description; Don't join yet!] Some people feel a calling towards meditation, prayer, magic, shamanism, and so forth. But lots of these people navigate scientifically, too, reading popular science books or books by the "new atheists" and so forth. And, what about evolutionary psychology?

A support group open to anyone who wishes to recover their — and their family's — health using the most powerful body and mind healing protocol there is. What is GAPS? The GAPS Diet is based on the work of Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride. She discovered the SCD Diet (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) and took it a step further by describing the gut-brain connection in the book Gut and Psychology Syndrome.
