Would you like to have more chances of meeting politically liberal intelligent respectful non-sexist non-racist folks in Portland? We wont meet in loud bars where you cant hold a real conversation and we wont go to bars where folks drink and then they think and talk differently - not always so good for creating genuine mature friendship. I am a relationships counselor and I would love to help folks find each other in an atmosphere where folks can really get to know each other in a genuine and re …

So you took the red pill and now you want a group where you can discuss the big picture openly without judgement. From the inconsistencies with 9/11 to chemtrails to ufo's to ancient ancestors to social engineering, anything goes in the rabbit hole. The intention for this group is to have bi-weekly discussions around a topic chosen by the group with a video and book list we can research prior to the meeting. Looks like Round Table at 62nd and Foster will be our spot for now, be sure to purchase …

The goal of this group is to explore and experience the unique culture of Portland and the northwest. Think of it as tourism for locals. About 50% of the people on every event are newcomers to Portland or to the group. It's a great way to meet new people while enjoying new experiences. I host at least 20 events on the calendar per month. Most of the events are done on foot, but some are simply showing up at a particular destination for fun. Events include: Dining and entertainment walks (highli …

Chanting Sanskrit Mantra is an ancient practice that goes back to time immemorial. Sanskrit Mantra is practiced by Buddhists, Hindus, Jainists, Sikhs and people of all faiths all across the planet. It is not a religion, but like meditation can be adapted to one's own practice whatever your beliefs may be. This ancient practice leads us to that place within; that heals all, calms every worry, and fills us with that Divine love we all search for. There is nothing to believe, no dogma, no person to …

Finally, 20- and 30-something atheists, agnostics & skeptics have our own group! This is the place to find each other and build our own community and culture. NOTE: While we're getting started up and working out the kinks with Meetup.com, "Jack" will appear as the organizer. The actual organizer is Troy Carter, who is a proper member of the 20-30 demographic. (Jack is a 50-something who's helping us start the group under his Meetup account.)

This group is a resource for the Portland region of National Novel Writing Month Participants.

This group is also the planning headquarters for Portland's own regional fundraiser, the Soiree of Furious Typing (our hack version of the more official Night …

This is a group that involves watching a movie and discussing said movie afterwards. What kind of movies do you ask? It can be any genre. My main criterion is that the film can carry a discussion. I might have themes for certain months like Overlooked Films, French Crime Films, Great Movies with Misleading Names or Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon theme with a certain actor or director. I’m going to be holding the group out of my house. I would prefer a theater but then I would be limited to what movi …

We are women who have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD or ADD) and who are interested in learning strategies, skills, and processes which can enhance our lives.  We seek companionship, support, resources, recommendations and the kind of understanding that comes from being with those who "get it" from the inside out. Women who have ADHD, especially those of us who are diagnosed in our 30's, 40's, 50's and later, have many years experience of struggling to "pass" for normal, of tryi …

Just like you, I'm an attractive, ambitious, professional, outgoing, active, involved in my community, fun, upstanding 30-something citizen. I've been married, dated and been selective about getting back into a relationship again. They say that meeting online is going to be majority way that future couples meet. I've personally tried them all and had no great luck. I doubt I'm the only one out there who'se had these experiences. Care to share in the adventures we've all been thru? Join this gro …

Whether you're fortunate enough to have retired early or you work hours that leave your days free, you'll find activities here to fill your days with. I started another group dedicated to tourism for locals, but in this one, I want to focus on activities that we can do during the week. I will put together tour and activities at a price that will allow you to participate on a regular basis, as well as a frequent participant program that provides discounts for regular attendance.
