The idea of starting this group came from seeing my nutrition clients struggling to break socialising habits which revolved around pubs. Where there is of course a place for socialising in pubs (I'm not a complete bore), the ideal scenario for getting healthy and enjoying it with friends is to take your socialising elsewhere. Whether that is a walk, a bike ride and a picnic or an hour of exhilarating Zumba followed by lunch, it helps to have a group of friends to encourage each other.   I have b …

We aim to promote and encourage backgammon playing at every level. Players from this club  publish articles on Backgammon and play internationally.

For this reason Edinburgh Backg …

A very good debate I recently had with a high-ranking Christian representative inspired me to launch this Meetup group. Most debates between Christians and Atheists are either highly philosophical ("What made existence come into existence?", "What triggered the Big Bang?", "Can we ever prove/disprove the existence of God?") or articulated around scientific inconsistencies in the Bible (miracles, as Christians would argue,) - In my experience though, these debates don't lead anywhere. In this Mee …

It seemed about time… That there could be a place; where future past and present combine, for us Humans are be-ing when exploring the sublime. So really it is all about personal experience and individual exploration within a group. This way there is never a 'right' or 'wrong', just the way for each person. Somewhere in between all of our individual 'ways' we may just glimpse the truth? The truth about what? Everything appears to axis through the ideas of "Time and space" and so this is a good pl …
