You will be provided with the tools to help you find relief from today’s stresses and anxieties and become immersed in spiritual happiness. A happiness that is beyond the senses and mind - a happiness in the heart. We practice different methods of mantra meditation that are very easy and enjoyable to do using breath, beads and music (Kirtan Meditation).

Cambridge City Green is a small group of volunteers that leverage dozens of other groups and thousands of individuals in Cambridge, Ontario to "be the change they want to see in the world." CCG is composed of volunteers who develop, host, and support community environmental projects like tree planting through the Cambridge Stewardship project, litter clean ups through the Community Clean Up Day, and an annual event (workshops, movie nights, etc.). CCG has been around since 1993 and is an action-oriented subcommittee of the Cambridge Environmental Advisory Committee of Council. Cambridge City Green initiated the Cambridge Stewardship project in 2007 with seven founding partners and one planting site. In the past 9 years (2007-2015), over 75+ groups and 3,000+ volunteers have planted over 10,000 indigenous trees, shrubs, and wildflowers at 23 sites during 81 planting events across Cambridge. Every year 3000-5000 individual volunteers and 50+ groups help take care of litter through the Cambridge Community Clean Up. Each year we plan an annual event, invite keynote speakers and local organizations doing interesting things, with an objective of positive change (rather than sitting around and complaining and blaming) and what YOU can do tommorrow. If you want to join Cambridge City Green in planning community projects, or starting new ones, or just want to participate in one of the events let us know.

Board Game Café (BGC) is an outreach initiative of Trillium United Church (in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada) that provides a safe and welcoming environment for those who enjoy playing board games.  Board games include classic games (Scrabble, Monopoly, card games, etc.) and newer games (Settlers of Catan, Seven Wonders, Dominion, etc.) We often have some brand new games to try as well and encourage gamers to bring their own games to share with the community. BGC is open to persons 16 and up. Youth (ages 12-15) accompanied by an adult (18 or over) are also welcome.

As you may appreciate, RSVPs on BGC’s Meetup page only capture a small number of the people who attend. For those who are using the RSVP feature on Meetup we thank you. Don’t be put off, however, if the number on any evening is on the smaller side. Some of our best attended evenings have had only a smattering of RSVPs.

BGC can be found at 450 King Street East in Cambridge ON (just east of Eagle St. - entry is on Waterloo Street - look for the BGC sign). For the moment we are only running BGC once a month on the second Friday. We hope to return to a twice a month schedule in the near future. We meet from 7:30 pm to 12:00 am. The location is a safe, well-lit area with plenty of parking on street and in city lots. Check our parking map in the Photo Album section. Entry is $5 at the door (Youth participants are free.)  Regular and specialty coffees and teas are available as well as a selection of snacks for $1-$2. We're wheelchair accessible and are welcoming and inclusive of everyone (we put a special priority on being a hospitable place!) Bring your game-playing friends or come and meet some new ones. See you soon!
