Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a simple, time-honored technique of meditation. It helps reduce stress and increase wellness. It brings better focus and helps people become more centered and better balanced. Sahaja Yoga Meditation was founded by Honorable Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in 1970. Anyone can do it. It’s also free - we are a non-profit group, wanting to share the benefits of meditation in our daily life.

It's hard enough being an adult without having to worry about your health everyday. Living with type-1 diabetes can make you feel alienated and alone. The frequent doctor's visits, the poking and prying, the prescription costs, the nosy but well-meaning family members, and the meal planning can all be so OVERWHELMING. This group's purpose is to meet with other type-1 diabetics who are successfully and not so successfully "managing" their blood sugar. I certainly don't have everything figured out …

Meditation simply means to think about one thing continuously. We have all done it many times. However, that is the most basic definition. This science and art has been practiced for thousands of years but until the past century was not very well known. Meditation is not a religion though some religions also practice it. It is a spiritual practice - returning to the soul or spirit of the individual and enabling a person to become centered and balanced and thereby more effective in all aspects of …

This group was created to get together local CAD / CAM / CNC enthusiasts for learning, sharing ideas, and keeping up with what's new. Personally, I'm a complete idiot when it comes to CAD, I keep reverting to paper and pencil rather than take on the learning curve. After building two CNC routers and beginning a CNC mini mill conversion I know a bit more about CAM and CNC but realize it's well past time that I put away the drawing board and master the entire CAD/CAM/CNC tool chain. My initial t …

Instead of England's early Sunday dinner, a postchurch ordeal of heavy meats and savory pies, why not a new meal, served around noon, that starts with tea or coffee, marmalade and other breakfast fixtures before moving along to the heavier fare? By eliminating the need to get up early on Sunday, brunch would make life brighter for Saturday-night carousers. It would promote human happiness in other ways as well. Brunch is cheerful, sociable and inciting. It is talk-compelling. It puts you in a go …

I hope to see you all at the meetups!
