Finding Meaning in Medicine is a support group originally created by Rachel Naomi Remen for health care professionals. "There seems to be a deep river of meaning that runs beneath the events of our daily lives … especially in the lives of physicians. Through these groups we have found a very simple way of tapping into this river, and we are witnessing profound results. Most doctors have rich and unusual experiences, but have never had the opportunity or the encouragement to reflect upon them or …

Welcome! We're in such magical times and I'm so excited about the possibilities and potential that awaits us, the earth, humanity! Now is the tijme to clear yourself of lower energies no longer serving you and "baggage" you may not even know you carry around. All the changes are in response to this shift, a calling out from our sun and from the center of this galaxy if not the universe. Fear based thinking is just that. I for one will not utilize my God-given, innate creative faculties (thoughts …

It's about discovering tools that can help you gain more understanding of your life and help you live it better, calmer, and happier as a more aware Soul.

SAFER DECISIONS IN MARRIAGE AND DATING With this group and www.glassbook.org take control from the abuser & read tips to perform background checks on someone new Mission #1: CONFLICT SAFETY. Many DV organizations for women provide lectures, support groups, and reading materials. Although they are valuable, these resources fall short by not providing an opportunity to role play newly learned skills. One does not learn to play tennis or ride a bike by simply reading a book! This Meetup group will …

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 …

Do you have something to share, but can’t quite put your finger on it? Sometimes it can feel like our lives are a series of disconnected events. Our society gives us a list of bullet-point categories to associate our experiences with, so we know what’s “normal” and what is “outside-the-box,” but not everything fits. We yearn to make sense of our own experiences… And it’s easy to become isolated. Our Social Network community helps us “connect,” but leaves us yearning for communal experience. We a …

Maitri Talking Circle meets at the Portland Contemplative Center. Lee Scher, the group's organizer, is a trained gr …

Our intention with this group is to build a strong supportive community for those unique souls that carry the heart of the world on their shoulders. When you are an intuitive feeling based individual you may often describe yourself or circumstances in these spe …

The only requirement is a body that is still breathing, a heart that is still beating, and mind that is still curious! Just like light, sound or ocean waves, a dancing body when moving freely passes th …

Cultures from the Iroquois to the Aztec in the America, the Kalinjen to San in Africa in addition to countless others throughout the centuries have had running as an integral part of their culture.  Beyond a game of competition running functioned as a means of transportation, communication and hunting.  Running also held a place of self and group discovery for the members of these groups through the ritual, practice, stories and challenge of the activity. The Complete Running Group hopes to pro …

Peace is something that everyone wants. Though we search for it in things around us, it's within us all the time, and readily available to experience all the time, too. Peace doesn't create or come from an absence of war. Rather, wars happen as a result of the war that people fight within themselves. But peace is what can end wars, by each person first ending their own inner wars. Portland Friends of Peace isn't about ideas, philosophy, religion or spirituality — nor are we against any of these. …
