Zen-Like--Are you spiritual and contemplative and find that in nature you can connect with that side of yourself? Do you feel closer to God, Spirit, the Universe, or whatever name you have for that ineffable something, when you’re surrounded by nature? Does the shaman(esse) within you just want to touch your feet to the ground, stick your nose into the foliage, breathe in and say ahhh? If so, then you may really enjoy being a part of our community, make friends and enjoy the green and lush North …

The community of ECKists here in our state is warm, vibrant, and diverse — full of people who have searched for truth and spiritual freedom, and discovered a renewed sense of spiritual growth through the ECK teachings.

Spiritual experience is at the heart of the ECK teachings. If any of …

According to A.A.R.P., 90% of working Americans are on track to financial failure in retirement and the vast majority don’t even know it. Both advisors and advisees do what they have done in hopes of ending in the winner’s circle, the 10% who have a prayer of thriving in retirement. This is in part because of conflicting teachings in the financial services industry, and lack of overall financial education in our country. This group is dedicated to bring non-biased financial education to a forum …

THIS IS A VERY BRIEF SUMMARY OF OUR VERY LARGE SPHERE OF STUDY. This devotional study group requires that members are aged 18 years old or more and have a strong personal commitment to Asatru or Hellenismos.

From http://www.venganza.org: By design, the only dogma allowed in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is the rejection of dogma. That is, there are no strict rules and regulations, there are no rote rituals and prayers and other nonsense. Every member has a say in what this church is and what it becomes. To outsiders it makes us hard to define, but here are some general things that can be said about our beliefs: We believe pirates, the original Pastafarians, were peaceful explorers and …

The format of GMOT is that a group comes together, has a short round of introductions, then a presenter offers several different viewpoints on a great question of theological/philosophical/ethical substance (for 10-15 minutes), and then we open it up for lively discussion. Participants tend to vary widely in their religious affiliations (and non-affiliations) and the only ground rule of the group is "deep listening" which means we should voice our authentic opinions, but not try to cram them dow …

Church on Tap started like this... It occurred to me one day that the older I get the less true male friendships I have.  I think this is fundamentally true for all men at some point during our journey. The older we get, the more entrenched we become. Little by little, the years pass. We plow ourselves into our families, our business, our routines...and time slips by.   Interestingly, we start to think that we really don't need friends to lean on anymore.  Men live oddly private, quiet lives and …
