Rust is growing, increasingly powered by its many and varied application areas. This group is about catering to the interests of people who just want to apply it, as well as those who want to learn more about the core language itself. For a taste of what to expect, see some of our past talks ([Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@rustedinburgh7116) / [main website](https://rustedinburgh.github.io)), but also see areas we'll hope to cover, like [Gaming](https://arewegameyet.rs) / [Web](https://www.arewewebyet.org) / [ML/AI](https://www.arewelearningyet.com) / [Data](https://datawithrust.com) / [Gui](https://areweguiyet.com)s. We believe the Rust language and community can benefit anyone regardless of their level of ability or prior experience. ["Rust and Friends"](https://rustedinburgh.github.io) is a local / online Meetup intended to help us achieve that goal. For all meetings and interactions we follow [Rust Lang Code of Conduct](https://www.rust-lang.org/policies/code-of-conduct).

Welcome to the New Culture Forum Edinburgh Meetup! Since its formation in 2006, the New Culture Forum has stood for the preservation and flourishing of British culture and heritage, challenging left-wing and liberal orthodoxies that have come to dominate Western institutions and public life. Although not officially aligned with the New Culture Forum team, this meetup serves as a means of gathering those who personally identify with NCF content as reflected by its many videos, reports, books, and events. We aim to regularly discuss and develop the various socio-political insights that have been promulgated by NCF guests and representatives. . Here is a description of NCF aims, as found on their website: “Culture, it is said, is upstream from politics. Certainly, we in the New Culture Forum believe that cultural issues are the defining ones of our time. “More and more people are passionately engaged in these issues, but feel there is no outlet within an atmosphere which is dominated by the existence of a liberal/left groupthink. The triumph of cultural relativism and political correctness in the opinion-forming fields of the media, academia, education and culture has meant that this groupthink has become even more deeply entrenched. The liberal establishment sets the terms of debate. “At a time of threat from extremism, the West finds itself besieged from within and without. Too often our enemies and our opinion-formers appear to agree that Western culture is indefensible or a source purely of shame. “We, however, believe that the West is in fact a unique bastion of reasoned freedom and that Britain in particular should be proud of the great role it has played in Western education, art and culture. “Since it was formed in 2006 the New Culture Forum has been challenging the cultural orthodoxies dominant in the media, academia, education, and wider British culture. We have forged important relationships within the national political, media and cultural spheres and now enjoy a high profile. “Through our research projects and our events, our highly-praised and influential publications and active media work, we have contributed fresh thinking to the public and political debate on the cultural issues of our time.” [https://www.newcultureforum.org.uk/our-aims](https://www.newcultureforum.org.uk/our-aims) . If you’re new to NCF content, have a look at their YouTube channel: [https://www.youtube.com/@NewCultureForum](https://www.youtube.com/@NewCultureForum) . Here’s a short video about the Forum featuring the NCF founder and director, Peter Whittle: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_bffddidaw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_bffddidaw) . Should you find a resonance with their work, then please reach out! We’d love to hear from you, and to join us for lively conversation, camaraderie, consolation, and cheer. .

Are you new to the area or just looking to get out and about after lockdown but a bit anxious? Looking to make new friends in a smaller scale/relaxed environment? Enjoy going to films, comedy or plays but never have anyone to go with? Then this is the group for you!

This group is inclusive and open to all, everyone is welcome to join any event. There are lots of large scale social groups on here, but as someone who's not a fan of big nights out I thought a group for more relaxing social meetups may be needed. Ideas would be local comedy shows, cinema nights, after work drinks, bowling, board game nights etc. but I am more than happy to take suggestions :)

Hello there! We are a Modern Buddhist meditation group. We hold weekly evening, lunchtime and afterwork classes, weekend courses and retreats at our Kadampa Meditation Centre 172 Leith Walk, Edinburgh. Additionally, we have a weekly Wednesday evening class in Morningside. We cover topics such as love and maintaining healthy relationships, dealing with negative emotions, mindfulness and making meditation work in daily life. All group meditations are guided and everyone is welcome in our meet-up group, no prior experience of meditation is necessary. We're looking forward to meeting you soon!

Your divorce or major breakup can be one of the most devastating things to go through. Feelings of hurt, betrayal and disappointment can arise and be difficult to overcome. However, the time has come now to move on emotionally and start the steps to creating a new future and potentially, a new partnership down the road. This group is here for this reason - to navigate a new start with a brighter outlook and a chance to create life without carrying the hurt and baggage. We will have regular meetups to help people with divorce or breakup. Getting over the sense of loss, betrayal and deep hurt that can happen in a breakup IS possible, you just need a bit of help and some tools to achieve this. We are going to have some free workshops about life improvement, we are going to read some self-help books, and we are going to help you regain your self-confidence, happiness, stability and mental wellness, for these might have taken a hit due to the divorce or breakup. But most importantly, we are going to help you work on having a better future—a better mindset, a better lifestyle, better mental health, and a better future relationship. Call/What's app me (Gillian) at 07894568571 or (Dave) 07971026447 if you have any questions. This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center in Edinburgh, Scotland.
