Brighton & Hove Fun Dining with Friends

Brighton, P6

With so many places to eat, drink and be merry in Brighton & Hove, we have created a Group to make full use of what the City has to offer. We aim to bring together people with interesting conversation at events with good food, washed down with wine or other drinks, in pubs, restaurants and even some pop up places around town. Our members tend to be aged 40+ but age is not the driver. Membership is free with no event fees, as this is NOT money making activity. As you would expect, you pay for what you consume at each event. The Organiser retains the right to determine the membership of this Group. We are always looking for more people willing to act as hosts - please contact the organiser if you are interested We do expect members to manage their own social diaries & attend events if they RSVP Yes or if Waitlisted, to monitor the list to see if they get lucky. We have a Group policy which is on the Pages Section to explain the way we ask members to operate with us. If you wish to join, please ensure that your profile pic is a recent photo of **you** (not your pet or a landscape or a cartoon) so we can recognise you and of course your first name or full name if you prefer.

Mid Sussex Wiccans

Haywards Heath, P6

It is the local branch of the Wiccan Federation which is one of the major forces within the Wiccan tradition in this country. The group has the following objectives 1. To allow Wiccans to connect with like minded individuals through our network of Watsapp groups including one for Crawley and Tunbridge Wells and surrounding areas. 2. To offer training online through the 13 Knots course, and face to face training for those who progress to joining a coven. 3. To allow members to meet like minded individuals who are interested in the tradituon in pub and coffee shop based meetings in Crawley and Tunbridge Wells and through Zoom conferencing for Crawley and Tunbridge Wells Wiccans and other members around the UK 4. To provide a way for individuals to join a Wiccan coven, facilitating the practice of Wiccan rites. 5. To allow those interested in Wicca to meet with others interested on a national basis particularly on Dartmoor. 6. To provide access to written material on Wicca that is written from the perspective of those practicing in a coven setting to ensure that new members understand how experienced Wiccans practice. The group provides a straightforward access point to the Wiccan tradition and we are dedicated to facilitating access to initiatory coven Wicca for all seekers. Our Order website is below [http://ootham.wordpress.com](http://ootham.wordpress.com/) We also run a major Wicca website at [http://www.wicca.org.uk](http://www.wicca.org.uk/) The Wiccan Federation and its associated covens also hold a number of events not on meetup which are for the members associated with the covens. Although the covens are spiritual groups they are also groups of friends and hold their own gatherings. We try to avoid bringing members to events in private houses who are unknown to our network unless they are with a friend we know. Additionally we are a group for Wiccans. Our focus is on those seeking to join the Wiccan path. The group is also limited to the over 21s. We have special arrangements for those who are 20.

Welcome to the new meetup group, like before the group will be posting events, throughout the year, this is a group for word and mouth if you think someone you might know might fit in please feel free to invite them along so they can see how the group works. This group is not just for me to host but for any member who would like to host an event, it takes the pressure of me a bit, the group will still be holding lunches once a month, evening events and outdoor events, if any member can think of events outside the box please feel free to mention what you would like to host. I feel we have a good selection of friends that already gel together and would like to grow a bit more but not to many, this group will be made private not in the public domain from the start Looking forward to the year with this new group.

Achieve Yoga & enter into a state of ‘thoughtless awareness’.

Hello there! We'd like to welcome you to our FREE weekly Sahaja Yoga meditation meetings - nearest meetings are in Brighton or Eastbourne & can be found at:

http://www.meetup.com/Free-Meditation-Yoga-Brighton/

https://www.meetup.com/Free-Meditation-Yoga-Eastbourne/

With Sahaja Yoga Meditation we normally sit on chairs to achieve yoga, effortlessly & spontaneously. So there is no need for mats and no special clothing required.

We are all volunteers of a Charity organisation and have many years of experience in offering free Sahaja Yoga Meditation classes. The classes are designed to help those attending get into a genuine meditative state, which can be felt tangibly. It is quite effortless and spontaneous.

The free classes feature introductory talks, video's, practical workshops and general question and answer opportunities, making them perfect for seekers trying to establish a state of yoga, and they are available across London most evenings and throughout the UK.

The idea is that you don't do yoga - you Achieve Yoga! Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a simple, time-honored technique. It helps those who enjoy it, reduce stress and increase wellness. It brings better focus and helps people become more centered and better balanced.

Anyone can do it. Founded by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a world wide movement for peace and self awakening. All the meetings and classes are free of any charge.

Each week we go through simple meditation techniques, often with guided meditations to help reduce stress and achieve the peace of true meditation. We share tips on how to help stay in balance during the day and how to meditate at home.

The meditation is based on connecting with the inner chakras (energy centres) and balancing the subtle body. The tradition and aims of meditation are explained which in essence is to be in the present with no mental activity or thoughts about the past or the future.

Occasionally there are 1 day retreats to help those interested, deepen their individual experience and hear advice and tips from those who have been practicing for some time. It’s ultimately all about getting into ‘thoughtless awareness’, a natural state of being.
