Avoid spamming, trolling, or disrupting the group's harmony in any way. **3\. Responsibility and Reliability:** If you RSVP to an event, please honor your commitment.

Additionally, help take care of the environment during outdoor adventures by following Leave No Trace principles and being mindful of local rules and regulations.

The purpose of the group is to have a place where INFJs can gather and meet other INFJs, learn about ourselves, learn about other INFJs, share experiences, and discuss topics of interests that may be more commonly unique to us. This group is for INFJs who are interested in connecting with other INFJs. Our events will be a place for people to learn, share, and connect. There will be meetings that are introductory in nature, meetings that allow for discussions commonly important for INFJs, and events where we work/connect with other groups.

Grand Opening SALSA Taco Tuesdays @ The cove Bar & Grill in Murrieta Ca

Starting Tuesday January 7th 2020

**MISSION STATEMENT:** 1. OUR MISSION IS TO PROVIDE A SUPPORTIVE AND WELCOMING COMMUNITY FOR WOMEN OVER 50 TO FOSTER NEW FRIENDSHIPS AND MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS WITH EACH OTHER. 2. WE BELIEVE IN THE IMPORTANCE OF MINDFUL SOCIALIZATION. THEREFORE WE STRIVE TO CREATE A SAFE SPACE WHERE WOMEN CAN GROW, SUPPORT AND SHARE WITH EACH OTHER THEIR LIFE EXPERIENCES WITHOUT JUDGEMENT. IN THIS MUTUALLY SHARING SPACE IT IS MY GOAL TO PROMOTE POSITIVITY, INCLUSION, AND RESPECT FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THIS GROUP WITHOUT EXCEPTION. 3. EATING WISELY & MINDFULLY 4. MAINTAIN AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE 5. REMAINING ACTIVE & ENGAGING IN ACTIVITIES THAT NOT ONLY CARE FOR OUR PHYSICAL WELL BEING BUT ALSO OUR COGNITIVE, EMOTIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING. 6. PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVITIES WITH OTHERS THAT BRING US HAPPINESS AND JOY. **That being said this is a private group and we do have etiquette and rules just like other organizations. There is a recommended dues of $10-20 /year to become a member of this group. This is strictly to cover the dues and the expenses of the organizer. As the sole organizer I pay dues twice a year every 6 months of $98.94. That dues is just for the standard membership. You are welcome to pay by pledging your dues or do cash or check if you prefer.** **GUIDELINES:** 1. No one gets left behind in any event. 2. If anyone is more capable than someone else it is okay to walk or hike ahead. There are always more or less two women walking or hiking or kayaking together. No one should feel left out or left behind. I am the leader and I do take the time to make sure that everyone is safe and cared for. But it is ultimately your responsibility to be safe and stay within the limits of your own bodies capabilities. 3. There is no room in this group for "mean girls" we are no longer in high school. In other words pettiness, argumentativeness, judgement and gossiping will be frowned upon in this group. 4. Be mindful of your fellow members and the space you take up. Remember, when you sign up for an event if there is an event limit which there always is, you essentially prevent someone else from joining. Believe me this happens more often than I would like to admit. What I am getting at is that when you take a spot at an event you hold that spot for a couple of weeks and no one else can enter. When you cancel three days before, two days before or in the last 24 hours, it is not likely that someone else can take your spot last minute because she has probably already made plans. Therefore, if you are one of these members please be mindful when you sign up if you are iffy about making a commitment don't sign up. Please think about the other members. If you cancel from events 3 consecutive times you may be dropped from the group. Again there are exceptions to this rule when it is necessary and an emergency please contact me and let me know. I do know and understand that there are extenuating circumstances we all get sick, injured and have family emergencies and I completely understand that. However, I am just asking that you do not misuse this caveat. 5. If you are inactive in the group for 6 months and or have never attended one event since you signed up you may be cut from the group to allow other members who are interested to join. If you are cut from the group you are always welcome to reapply at another time when you can make a commitment. 6. This may sound silly but when you leave the house to attend an event please make sure that you take your drivers license, money, credit card if you use one and your insurance information. It is always wise to have identification on you should something happen. Many times we attend events that we need to show identification so don't forget. Be mindful of the other group members that you are joining with on an event, if you forget your identification you have just spoiled the event for the others. 7. Please be on time for all events. Be kind and considerate to other members. If you are going to be 15 minutes late please let me know. I know that there is a lot of traffic on the road and this can result in delays but we do need to be mindful about all the other members that did get there on time and are waiting for you. **Message from Linda the Organizer:** *Hi, my name is Linda, I am the group organizer of this group of lovely women. I started this group because I realized that friendship is a necessary part of our lives. The current research states that you you don't have a community, a tribe and friendship network it is likely to take 15 good years off of your life. It is as dangerous to your well being as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Relationships are just as important as good sleep, eating healthy foods, exercising and hydrating our bodies. Friendships require time, effort, commitment, love, understanding, loyalty and so much more it is not easy. According to the current research forging a friendship requires at least 200 hours of connecting with each other on a regular basis. When you think about it that is a big commitment.* *"Friends give us the courage to lift the blinds on our hearts. To open up and show what we generally keep hidden from the rest of the world." (Unknown)* *What a gift friendship is.* *Let's appreciate that gift.* *I spend a lot of time planning and organizing these events and trying to come up with varied ideas that will appeal to all members. I am always available to listen to members when there are problems and I am willing to help. I am also very interested in hearing from members about what they are interested in and events they may want me to slate on the calendar.* *We all have a lot to be grateful for and I am personally grateful for all of the learning opportunities I have encountered in this group. I have personally grown from all of these experiences and it has enhanced my ability to be a better friend and organizer. I did not have any experience as a lay organizer or groups and definitely did not know much about friendship due to my being an introvert. However, Since December 15th of 2022 I have grown as a person and I think in my heart I am still an introvert but I do believe I am more balanced and more capable of interacting with others. This is an amazing group of women and I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience and I hope you will too. I welcome all new members with open arms.* Sincerely, Linda

Meet Ups with Jason Lanier is a group formed to have monthly in-person and online meet ups with award winning photographer Jason Lanier. Regularly scheduled in-person meet ups will occur monthly in Southern California where Jason lives. Jason will also schedule meet ups when he travels across the United States while either shooting or conducting one of his workshops. In addition to the in-person meet ups, Jason will provide monthly online sessions where the group can get together from around the world and conduct a meet up online!

Each session will have separate pricing and location information. The purpose of this group is for us to get together as photographers and for me (Jason) to provide you with help as needed. Having taught workshops across the United States for over the last three years I am very well versed and comfortable with helping photographers of all different skill levels and backgrounds.

Shoots will consist of a variety of different types including using models, night photography, day photography and more. We will work on composition, exposure, lighting, posing, and other topics that the group would like to cover.

This group page will also contain all the information and registration for my workshops across the United States. I'm so grateful for all of you joining this group and hope to make great connections and have an amazing time with all of you!

We are the people you meet when you want to make new friends. We encourage members who may be shy or an introvert to give us a try.. We are friendly and welcoming. This is not a dating or hook up group. If anyone makes you uncomfortable please lmk. We like to go out and have fun. Social somewhat competitive card/board games., Happy hours, food and drinks at The Windmill, walking Carlsbad Beach sidewalk, enjoying free music in the Village. Always open to new ideas and activities. No judgement, no drama. For singles and couples. Let’s enjoy everything north county (Oside, Carlsbad, Vista) has to offer. (Age 30s-60s). Note: For everyone’s safety, you must have a current/non-filtered picture. If you attend an event w/o one we will take a pic of you on ur phone. Will be combining with other groups for events.

Discover Your Personal Power and Untapped Energy Our retreats accommodate women of all ages, abilities, and skills. We will adjust for the needs of all participants. Learn energy healing practices from the sacred valleys of Peru and personal power tips that will help you throughout your life. Practice gentle yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises and engage in rich conversations with new friends. Leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and motivated to care for yourself physically, mentally, and spiritually. We hold our retreats at a private studio on two secluded acres in rural Bonsall. Our facilitators will guide you through meditation, breathing exercises, energy healing practices, gentle movements, journaling, and mindfulness. Space is limited, and our workshops fill up fast.

This group is for individuals who love to color, especially after a long day, or a beautiful Saturday morning. If you want to unwind, chat, relax, sip coffee (or your relaxing beverage of choice), and socialize a bit, then this group is for you. You don’t have to be a social butterfly. In fact, no judgements. Come as you are and bring your coloring books and medium. Novice or experts always welcome. I am hoping to bring together people of all ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds (given you are not a stalker… etc). Please bring a positive attitude and try to leave the drama at home. The main goal is to meet new people and eventually become friends. So, step outside of your comfort zone and try it. I’ll always try to bring extra medium (pens, markers, colored pencils, and crayons) as well as books for individuals who do not have any and just want to try it. There is no need to spend money on supplies you may not want to use again. Notice Please be considerate of the hosts time. We are all busy in our own ways and are just trying to have fun. If you RSVP for an event and decide not to go, please let the host know in advance, preferably the day before. If you do not cancel and end up being a no show two times you will be removed from the group ( it let’s the hosts know you don’t really want to be a part of this group). It’s really just inconsiderate. Thanks everyone, looking forward to meeting you.
