Outwoods, being a strictly volunteer, non-profit organization, is a vehicle for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and allies (GLBTA) community and their friends in Minnesota and adjacent states to publicize quality, enjoyable, non-competitive, outdoor recreational activities. The best way to learn about Outwoods and meet other people is to come on an event. However, there is no person or committee that plans activities; trips happen when individuals submit their listings to the newsletter …

The modern book group of today is in some ways still a push for women's intellectual autonomy. Think of this book club as a refuge for women who want to cultivate their minds outside of our current culture's norm of watching television or films. This is a casual, laid back, friendly book club discussion about the books we are reading. This book club meets in the Saint Paul Midway area. This book club may or may not be currently open to new members.  Due to the personal nature of book club discus …

Regular implies some level of commitment and allows for remembering each other’s plot lines, characters, revisions, etc. We’re trying to create a writing lab, a safe haven from the writing jungle: a ‘place’ to nurture experimentation + take chances …

What is Interspirituality? According to One Spirit Learning Alliance, "The Interfaith initiatives of the late twentieth century—the opening of dialogue and sharing of wisdom among leaders and practitioners of different religions—have flowered into an exciting new possibility for spiritual exploration and expression. The late Wayne Teasdale, author of The Mystic Heart, coined the term 'Interspirituality' to describe this new spiritual perspective." We'll be meeting up to explore Interspirituality …

So we take our conversations out-of-doors for a walk around our wonderful local Twin cities neighborhoods, lakes, parks, etc. and conclude for final though …

Meet with regular people (like the disciples) that have, above all else, a yearning to know the real Truth.  There are a few of us who have each discovered in different ways that the Authorized Version of 1611 or King James Bible is God's Word (Jesus) perfectly preserved for us today in English. All modern bible per-versions are an attempt to attack and pervert the Truth and bring about a one-world religion. Studying the many verses that are omitted can give a person a new appreciation for the K …

"Mastery" means having expert skill or knowledge, as well as having control, authority or power over, in or with something. At Mastery Systems, our use of the word “mastery” refers to being master of oneself – having self-control and being subject only to one’s own highest wishes and desires, …

This isn't just a group meeting. This is an fun, fast and interactive workshop to help you and everyone involved blast through your challenges/blocks/issues so you can manifest the life you want, joyfully! What they didn't tell you in 'The Secret' and using the Law of Attraction is that if you have blocks, non-beneficial beliefs, or issues that stop you for manifesting your desires, it just doesn't work as well. So many people beat theirselves up for not being able to change using the tools they …

Another meeting might be a meditatio …
