In today's go-go-go, everybody's behind, got to get more done world, it seems like our work week keeps us stressed to the max. That makes our weekends even more important, as a way to get out and get away from all the stresses of our jobs. But sometimes we're just too busy to find different things to do or meet new people. One group of Tennesseans has found a way around that time crunch. They meet up through the internet...first on a web page, then live and in person...and always with a common goal of outdoor adventure. Get to know Nashville Hiking Meetup. In addition to our regular hikes and other outdoor adventures, we also plan social events and organize community volunteer projects such as park cleanup and trail building! Get exercise, . Make new friends, . . Respect the environment, . . . Give back to the community, . . . . Laugh a lot What more could you want? :-) New and pending members: please be sure to [read our "About Us" page](http://nashvillehiking.com/about/) **all the way to the end** before joining our group: [http://nashvillehiking.com/about/](http://nashvillehiking.com/about/) Useful links: \- Find us on Facebook: [http://www.facebook.com/nashvillehiking](http://www.facebook.com/nashvillehiking) \- Follow us on Twitter: [http://www.twitter.com/nashvillehiking](http://www.twitter.com/nashvillehiking) \- Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/nashvillehikingmeetup/](https://www.instagram.com/nashvillehikingmeetup/) We look forward to seeing you on a hike!

The Gleeful Meeple are a group of social people who want to meet new friends and play games with them. New to board games? No problem. We're happy to teach. Our events can and may pop up just about anywhere (primarily local breweries, cool huh?) Our most popular events are board gaming events, where all attendees are welcome to bring their favorite games to play with us and our hosts will bring a bag of their own for you to enjoy as well. We may be board game group, but we’re so much more. We host tabletop RPG events, trivia nights, escape games, kickball, disc golf, and always looking for new ways to play.   All ages are welcome and encouraged, families included.

**WELCOME** Hi y’all and welcome! So we’re all about bringing people together for social activities—indoor and outdoor—food, hiking, concerts, bars, group trips—anything really. If you have an idea, then let us know. All are welcome, whether you’re new to the area, or consider yourself a native—but whatever you are, or wherever you’re from, *we’re all better off moving onwards and upwards through life together!* **Join our Facebook page to get the inside scoop on upcoming events!** **https://www.facebook.com/groups/6812824028779674** **THE ‘SMALL PRINT’** Please ensure you upload a **CLEAR FACE PIC** when requesting to join, as it will help us recognize you during your first meetings, and not doing so could delay, or even prevent you from joining the group. And by ‘clear face pic’, it needs to be **JUST YOU**—not you and others, where we have no idea who you are! Also, can we get your name too, and not just some random numbers? Members need to be 21 or older, as many meetups take place at ‘adult’ venues. There is no upper age limit—you’ll know whether you fit in or not! By joining, you give permission for us to use photos taken of you for promotional/social media purposes. **COMMON COURTESY** If you RSVP to an event, please show up! Most events have a waitlist, and it isn’t fair for the folks waiting to not get the opportunity to attend. Our policy is that after THREE NO-SHOWS without a proper cancellation, an individual will be removed from the group. If you find you’re unable to attend, please cancel at least 24 hours before the event to give those on the waitlist a chance of attending. However, if the situation is beyond your control, then that is perfectly fine. But if you cancel on the day of the event without prior warning, this will be marked as a NO SHOW. This also prevents waitlisted people from being able to attend, as they receive their notifications (that they’re now going) far too late. **ABOUT THE WAITLIST** While it can be disappointing to miss out on an event because you’re on the waitlist, the waitlist **IS THERE FOR A REASON**. Often the event/venue can only accommodate so many, and so may have been reserved for that number. If you are on the waitlist, please DON'T MESSAGE US and ask if you can still attend, or worse, just turn up to the event. It would be unfair to those who signed up sooner to not get a seat, and we would be put in the very uncomfortable position of having to ask you to leave. Having said that, if the venue can hold more, we often slide 'waitlisted' folks to 'going', especially those of you who have previously attended events and supported the group. **Thanks for your understanding in this.** We want everyone to have a good time, meet people and make new friends. Please be nice to one another, and be respectful! Any discourteous behavior will be investigated and if necessary, a warning given, and could result in removal from the group. And once again, there is an RSVP system in place, so PLEASE DON'T JUST SHOW UP TO EVENTS! Oh, and one final thing... please ensure you have a means of getting to, and FROM events. Don't assume that some Good Samaritan will just drive you home! And finally, no advertising or soliciting whatsoever. Instant removal!

**This meetup group is designed for people who enjoy hiking, caving, camping, backpacking, and spending quality time in the outdoors.  Our group name only suggests where we we begin---because we routinely explore parts of Eastern Tennessee, North Georgia, South Central Kentucky, North Alabama, and have embarked on occasional events further from home. We're even thinking of hiking Mount Saint Helens with a profession geologist. Events primarily consist of hikes, but we do have the occasional non-hiking activities such as biking Cades Cove on Wednesdays, scuba diving, repelling, whitewater kayaking, river kayaking, simple walking and social events. If anyone wants to participate in any other activates just let us know. We have a pretty active calendar, with many events from which to choose. We plan to expand our horizons and have plenty of activities for everyone, beginner and seasoned explorer, alike!** **We have a Facebook page where members may post, show, and discuss their experiences easily with friends and family who are not members of THG. [https://www.facebook.com/groups/TenneseeHiking/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/TenneseeHiking/)** **Membership is free. However, we appreciate a $5 donation upon joining, and once a year, to cover the continuing cost of gear, etc., used expressly for the safety of our members.**

The goal of this group is to make Christian friends. We plan to have opportunities to volunteer and help people in our community. Also, we plan to have events like game nights, concerts, bowling, hikes, holiday dinners, community events, etc.

Ladies always need girlfriends! Are you new to town or maybe you just want to expand your social circle? Either way- come join us at an event for a fun time with new friends! We will be hosting dinners, brunches, happy hours, and other local events for women of all ages and backgrounds. Looking forward to meeting you!

Do you wish you could have more of the kinds of conversations you have late at night where for some reason, you feel safe talking about the things you actually care about? Then you'll probably be into this Meetup. We host events called Skip the Small Talks where we use question prompts designed based in psychology research to help strangers have meaningful conversations with each other. Not feeling like answering a particular question? No worries, we'll have plenty to choose from, like, "When are you the happiest?" and, "If you were going to become close friends with me, what would I need to know about you?" We'll give you ground rules to make sure you feel comfortable and safe sharing as much of yourself as possible while still feeling in complete control of how much you share.

Want to feel spontaneous again? We are a fun, ethnically diverse group that meets to salsa dance at various locations in Nashville. Meet other local Salsa dancers and musicians. Tired of the usual bump and grind?, come meet some nice Ladies & Gentlemen. There is nothing like Salsa!!! 💃🕺

Welcome to all old and new members for working to expand this meetup to support an enlightened Nashville.  We are looking forward to working with you and supporting your activities.
As of Nov 2017 Burnell and Jenna will take the reins from here and the Nashville Psychic Meetup will continue unchanged into the future.  If you would like to schedule a meetup please message Burnell with the details and it will get it posted.

A big thank you to past administrators Mike and Lee for successfully managing the Nashville Psychic Meetup. Your dedication and effort are greatly appreciated by this community.

This is a group designed specifically for singles in the Middle Tennessee area who want to make new friends.  This will be a group where people can meet in person and get to know one another in a safe group setting.  This Meetup group was formed so local people with the same interests and goals can get together and have a good time. This is not a dating group or a "hookup" group. We are a group of people who happen to be single who want to meet and have fun as a group. Please be respectful at all times.  

Please note - 

We just want to let everyone know that if you RSVP to an event, please show up or un-RSVP at least 8 hours before the event begins.  We understand if something comes up at the last minute, it happens to all, but try to change your RSVP to “no”.  However, with that being said, if you RSVP to events and are a chronic "no show", We will consider removing you from the group. It comes back to being respectful.  We hate to do this, but a few events in the past have prompted this decision.  It is very difficult to schedule events where the venue needs an exact head count and then several people do not show up.  We want this to be a fun and exciting group. I have so enjoyed meeting new people this past year. Hope to see you all at the next events!

**Nashville Slow Ride…** Is a group is intended for recreational and utility cyclists using the streets and greenways of Nashville and Davidson County. The purpose of NSR is to help you participate in informal bike rides for people of average riding abilities. Groups can be two or twenty. We are not into lycra and fast bike rides We do not create scheduled rides because that is dependent on you and other members. If you want to ride with other riders like yourself schedule a ride. If you need help contact the group organizer. Slow ride is entirely voluntary and the organizer is responsible for the website but not the rides. **Slow Ride is entirely free to members** but if you like what we’re doing send us a few bucks via PayPal to help with expenses or go here: **[DONATE TO SLOW RIDE](https://www.paypal.me/CareyRogers)** You can also find us on Facebook.   [SLOW RIDE ON FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/groups/NashvilleSlowRide/)   **Need to Know** Ride leaders are volunteers and not paid professionals, but one of the group's goals is to make sure everyone has a fun and safe time at events. However, your personal safety is your responsibility. Meetup.com's terms of service agreement specifically says that members join any and all meetups at their own risk and cannot hold meetup.com or its organizers and other members liable for damages. After a Slow Ride please return to this site and rate the event and if you feel like it type in some comments or post photos. This helps us plan future events and please upload photos to each event page.

***[New events coming soon. Subscribe to the email list.](https://forms.gle/hZzXdZqzys9nSxaA6)*** ***You MUST purchase tickets for entry using the link in the event description. RSVP on Meetup is NOT necessary (it does not give you a spot in the event and is not an accurate representation of the participation list).*** There’s a new & better way to date: **[Shuffle Dating](shuffle.dating/nashville)** **How it works:** * You simply show up and follow instructions via your phone. * We notify you what time your date(s) starts. * We tell you who you’ll be dating – yes, you find them! * We give you a prompt to guide your conversation. * You tell us (via text) if you want to Match! (M) your date, or Pass (P) on them. Repeat. **Casual dress code.** **Prompts.** → Dress to impress? We don’t think so. Instead, just be comfortable. Show up in whatever you like to normally wear, whether that’s your Sunday-morning sweats, your favorite snapback, everyday hoodie, or business casual – it’s totally up to you. No expectations, just be comfortable 🙂. → You’ll be on multiple, short(ish) dates – don’t waste that precious time on formalities! You can catch-up on details later if you both match. Instead, spend your 10-minutes engaging in interesting, in-depth conversation using the prompts that we provide you. This way, you’ll have a great time with each date regardless of the outcome. **9 rounds.** **Longer conversations.** → Events are limited to 9 rounds. We believe that this is a sufficient number of rounds to meet a variety of people while avoiding burnout. → While we offer a smaller number of rounds than traditional speed dating events, we provide more time per round – usually around 10 minutes. This gives participants time to dive into an actual conversation and get to know one another, as opposed to the usual 3-5 minute rounds in traditional speed-dating events. **FAQ** **What is your cancellation/no-show policy? [SERIOUS]** * Due to the nature of our events, every turnout is critical to the success and experience for all participants. Please read our policy below. * Cancellations are non-refundable. Only in special cases such as family emergencies, sickness, or work-related issues will we refund your cancellation (not including the service fee), and this is ONLY if we are notified 72-hours or more in advance of the event. If you decide to cancel, you MUST let us know. Again, cancellations within 72-hours of the start of the event will NOT be refunded for any reason, no exception. * No-shows are extremely detrimental to the quality of our events. If you do not show up without any notice or reasoning, you will be charged an additional $50 and may be permanently banned from participating in all future events. We take this extremely seriously because the quality of our events rely on participants showing up. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding this. * Leaving in the middle of an event will be considered a no-show. **What are the ground-rules? [SERIOUS – PLEASE READ]** Safety * We take the safety of our participants as our number one priority. As our events do not have any physical host present, we coordinate with the venue and their staff to help facilitate an environment that ensures safety and confidence among all participants. Please read below for what is expected of you (as the participant) during our event: * You are expected to interact with other participants respectfully while maintaining appropriate boundaries. You will NOT share or provoke personally sensitive information (contact, address, etc.). You will NOT engage with other participants that harms or makes them feel uncomfortable in any way. * If you are made to feel uncomfortable by any participant, you will have the ability to report to us immediately. * If the event is held at a venue that serves alcohol, you are expected to moderate your alcohol intake so that you can participate in our event without any complication to the other participants, staff, or anyone else at the venue. **Matching** * Your contact information will not be shared with any participants at our events UNLESS you have a successful match. In the case of a successful match (you and the other participant indicate "M" for each other), then we will share your contact information (email, cell-phone number) ONLY with each other after the event. **Shuffle is not responsible for any and all interactions beyond and outside of its events.** DISCLAIMER OF RESPONSIBILITY * While Shuffle coordinates to maintain a safe environment, the company cannot guarantee 100% safety when using its service. By using Shuffle, you will interact with other participants face-to-face, interact with 3rd party venues and its staff, and potentially interact with non-participants. The company does not conduct a background check on its participants. * Under no circumstances will Shuffle or its affiliates be liable for any damages or harm that may occur to the participant through its services. Shuffle assumes no responsibilities whatsoever for any damages caused to Participants, Non-Participants, Staff, or any Affiliate, of or by any product or service provided by Shuffle. **What happens if there is an uneven number of participants?** * We ask all participants for confirmation 1-hour prior to the start of the event. For example, if your event starts at 12pm, we text you at 11am asking for confirmation. By 11:30am, we finalize the list of participants for that Shuffle. If there is an imbalance of participants, then we introduce “break-rounds” to substitute for a dating-round. * Example: 8 men and 6 women confirm they will participate. The men will each have 6 dates and 2 “break-round” – the women will each have 8 dates. **I’m 30 years-old but would rather register for the 31-41 bracket. Am I allowed to?** * Yes! If you are 2 or less years removed from the next age bracket, you are welcome to register for it. So for example, if you are 29 and wish to register for the 31-41 bracket, you are welcome to do so. Likewise, if you are 43 and wish to register for the 31-41 bracket, you may do so as well. **Are there breaks in-between dates?** * You get roughly 5-minutes in-between dates (to rate your previous date and to find your next one), so you have plenty of time to go to the restroom or order a(nother) coffee/drink. With that said, we encourage you to show up to the venue early to accommodate for these. **My date and I found each other a bit early. Can we just start chatting?** * Yes! If you and your date find each other a few minutes early, just start chatting away. **I wasn’t able to get a match.** * You absolutely should not feel down or discouraged! Because the events are limited to 5 dates, it is entirely possible to leave the event without a successful match. You still take away valuable experience and hopefully, fun and interesting conversations. We encourage you to attend more Shuffle's as you are bound to find matches along the way. **So I give someone a Match! [M]. Now what?** * Your dates will never see your responses. Instead, if you have successfully matched with a date (both indicated an [M]), we will share your numbers with each other within 24 hours after the event. **Do I need to keep my phone on the entire time?** * It isn’t necessary, but we highly encourage you to do so. Since we use text notifications to moderate the entire event, you will be engaging with your phone quite often. We recommend you to leave notifications, vibration, and even sound on so you can react accordingly to our notifications in a timely manner. **Will my phone automatically subscribe to Shuffle?** * When you sign up to a Shuffle, we will ask for your permission to send you text notifications leading up to and throughout the event. However, once the event is over, you will no longer receive notifications from us. Questions, comments, concerns? Feedback??? Please contact us! nashville@shuffle.dating

This is a group for anyone who is interested in using art as a way to connect with yourself and others. We will visit with each other while making an art project focused on a different wellness theme each week and learn a new skill. The goal of this group is to use art as a tool for self care, personal growth and connection with like minded people.
