Hi Snow lovers!!! The ski and snowboard season is happening! Come hang out and meet other people who have the same interests. Or, if you are new and are interested in meeting others who snowboard/ski or are thinking about it, join us. :) **If you haven't gotten your season pass, I recommend the Ikon Pass!** Let's kick off the season and get to know other members by having a Meet and Greet so everyone in the meetup can socialize and get to know each other.

This is a local group for all ages and all walks of life. New to the area? Great....Let's Connect! Recently separated or divorced? Great.....Let's Connect! Single? Great....Let's Connect! There will be different events for everyone, so keep stay connected and watch for upcoming events. While physical fitness is important; social fitness is even more important. What is Social Fitness??? Social Fitness keeps you healthy and alive through connections with other people. We are made for connection and the best way to do this is through meeting new friends and enjoying new activities.

Please Note- If you are new to the group, please contact me with proposals for events. I work out of the country for 2 months out of every 3 months, and I'd like to hear your idea! Tired of the single life and all the dating drama? You’re not alone, and it’s time for a fresh approach. The NEW Friend Zone is a group dedicated to redefining how we interact and connect with others—by focusing on fun, group activities rather than the pressure of finding “The One.” This isn’t the typical "friend zone" you may have heard of—it’s about relearning how to enjoy life with like-minded people, taking the pressure off dating, and embracing friendships first. --- Imagine flipping the dating scene on its head! The NEW Friend Zone is a concept I created to bring charm, class, and values back to meeting new people. After years of being single, I discovered something hiding in plain sight: the value of building genuine friendships before diving into relationships. Even if you don’t join, I encourage you to think about this concept and share it with your friends. Here’s how it works: When I meet a woman (whether I’m attracted to her or not), we start as friends. We hang out and have fun—no pressure, no rush. For 4-6 months, we remain friends without talking about feelings or intimacy, allowing us to truly get to know each other. In that time, we can see what would or wouldn’t work in a relationship, and guess what? Even if we aren’t a match, we stay friends! No more awkward encounters or ghosting after a couple of dates. In the NEW Friend Zone, it’s all about transparency and friendship—with the understanding that we’re taking our time. And yes, that means no intimate contact for a while! It might sound crazy, but giving someone time to show who they really are is worth it. By the end of those 4-5 months, you’ll know if it’s meant to be, and if not, you’ve gained a great friend. The idea came to me when I was studying to become a Christian minister. I saw so many friends meet great people, only for the connection to fizzle out after one or two dates. I knew there had to be a better way. The truth is, relationships don’t have to start with romance—they can begin with friendship and respect, where both people take time to really understand each other. Here in Orange County, we can surf, hike, paddleboard, or just hang out—without the pressure of dating. I’ve met so many amazing people, and I’m excited to share this concept. Women seem to get it, but guys struggle with waiting. But after seeing countless relationships crash and burn, I’d much rather just enjoy time with friends and see where things go naturally. Think about it—what would the dating world look like if we all took the pressure off? Less drama, fewer breakups, and more focus on living life. Finding the right person is about timing and patience, not forcing things to happen. So, let’s get out there and have fun while staying respectful and intentional. And to help with that, I’ve come up with a few guidelines I like to follow—simple rules that help maintain healthy boundaries and avoid the typical pitfalls of dating: RULE #1: Never talk about other women in front of the woman I’m spending time with. Stay present and respectful. RULE #2: Give a compliment and move on. It’s not about making a move; it’s about showing respect. RULE #3: No talk about feelings for at least 5 months. It takes time for the real person to show up! RULE #4: Introduce all NEW Friend Zone friends to each other. Building a positive network is key. RULE #5: Treat the ladies like princesses, even on their off days. Many women have been hurt in the past, and it takes time for them to adjust to being treated well. RULE #6: Don’t over-text or call. Keep communication balanced. RULE #7: Find someone who shares your interests. For me, opposites don’t attract. And most importantly—make the most of your single life! Now is the time to work on yourself, explore new interests, and live out your dreams without anything holding you back. I call this “While We Wait for Love.” While we’re waiting patiently for our moment, there’s a whole world out there to discover and plenty of personal growth to pursue. I’m here to answer any questions and would love to hear your thoughts. Let’s change the dating game together!

Hello spirit soul! Welcome to Orange County Kirtan Mantra Meditation By Spirit Soul And Friends™! We are delighted that you have visited us today. This wonderful MeetUp group is created to keep you in touch with Kirtan Mantra Meditation events in Orange County and surrounding areas.  We look forward to chanting with you at the incredible events that are forthcoming. **WHAT IS KIRTAN?** *Kirtan* is when more than one person gets together to joyously sing or chant various Mantras.  *Man* means mind, *Tra* means that which frees; A mantra is a sound vibration that frees or delivers the mind from its attachment and preoccupation with worldly matters, and focuses it on the Supreme.  Every day we hear sounds that increase our attachment and preoccupation with worldly matters, so obviously not just any sound is a mantra. Only words that have the spiritual potency to free us from material conditioning are Mantras.   The only words with that spiritual potency are any sound coming from God such as His Names and Words because they are nondifferent from Him, and are as pure and purifying as God Himself. Kirtan is completely non-sectarian and non-denominational because the universal principle for spiritual reawakening through singing the Names of God is recommended in the Bible (both Old and New Testaments), Koran and Vedic Scriptures. Kirtan is a spiritual tool to purify one's consciousness and bring the soul real peace and happiness; *Peaceful individuals create a peaceful society.* **There Should Never Be a Charge For Kirtan** According to Yoga texts, it is forbidden to charge for Kirtan and teaching spiritual truths because these should be freely available to everyone, not just those who can afford it. Therefore, we do not list on Orange County Kirtan/Mantra Meditation MeetUp any kirtan events that require payment for admission. Taking part in or learning about Kirtan has nothing to do with having enough money, having a melodious voice, or becoming a professional kirtan leader, singer or musician.  Anyone can chant, sing, dance and participate in Kirtan at no cost—so bring yourself, children, family, friends and musical instruments! We look forward to seeing you and your family at one of the many upcoming events. Kirtan is universally recommended Kirtan is a joyous celebration; a living, moving meditation Kirtan is the path to Peace Kirtan opens the door to Love Aloha and Namaste, Patita Pavana / Director Of Community Events for [Spirit Soul And Friends™ - A Musical Peace Troupe](https://www.spiritsoulandfriends.com)

Did your plans for the upcoming week fall through? Are you bored but don't want to do things by yourself? Are there activities you want to go do that your current friend group has no interest in doing? Look no further, we got you covered: you can have insta friends and insta plans with a click and a smile! We always have something new and interesting up our sleeve! I hate to say it, but it's really hard to manage a group. So if you don't show up after rsvping and you don't cancel, I unfortunately, will have to remove you from the group. :( I will always send you a message with my cell phone number before an event to text me when you have arrived, just so that I don't have to run around looking everywhere for people and not engage attendees.

Hi ladies! Welcome, and thanks for joining. This group is a revival of an old meet up group called "Professional Filipinas of Orange County". With this group, our goal is to enable Filipinas in the OC area to meet and connect with fellow Filipinas! Future meetup events may consist of brunches, dinners, happy hours and other fun and casual events like going to the movies, fairs and museums. For those who love the outdoors, there will be events that could involve some hiking and biking as well. "Fine print": This is a social group, and not intended for business networking, advertising a business or sale of products or services. I have a separate group for that specific purpose. Please check out and join my other group called "Filipina Business Owners (FBO) OC Women's Group.

Welcome to our Meet the Winemaker Meetup Group! If you revel in learning about wines from the people who made the wine this group is for you. If you have a deep appreciation for the great Napa/Sonoma, enjoy wine tastings, and believe wine and food are a match made in heaven, then this group is for you! We seek to bring together wine enthusiasts of all levels to explore the complexities of different varietals, discover new flavors, and share the joy of savoring delicious wines alongside delectable dishes. Come join us as we get behind the cellar door in a fun social vibe.

Goal of this Group: Let's take our connections to the next level with a casual coffee gathering. Picture this: a cozy spot, delicious coffee, and a chance to dive deeper into intimate conversations with like minded ladies here in Orange County. I'm convinced that together, we can create an empowering network where we uplift and empower each other both personally and professionally. Here's what you can expect from our coffee chat: Collaboration Opportunities: Let's explore how our diverse skills and experiences can complement each other. There might be exciting projects or initiatives waiting to be born from our collective talents. Knowledge Exchange: We all have unique insights and perspectives. Imagine the wealth of knowledge we can share, helping each other navigate challenges and seize new opportunities. Support System: Networking is not just about business; it's about building genuine connections. Let's create a supportive environment where we can share victories, seek advice, and celebrate each other's successes. What we will accomplish at our coffee meetup: True connections, friendships, power partners that will help uplift you in your business.

"Conservative Liberal Jew" means that your *Judaism* is liberal (you're not Orthodox in your beliefs and practice), but you are not politically and socially a liberal. Maybe you didn't vote for Trump, but you're pretty sure he's not Hitler 2.0 either. You're compassionate, tolerant, and open-minded, but you're also distressed that your liberal rabbis respond to terrorism with peace platitudes and victim-blaming. Maybe you believe that Judaism has a few social standards that are worth conserving that are not identical to college campus left values. Maybe you've noticed that college campus left values have been the home for antisemitism in America for years, and that evangelical Christians aren't a threat to your family.

Maybe you have children and you're trying to figure out how to give them the Judaism that is meaningful to you, but without the Social Justice Warrioring that has become entangled with most Jewish groups. Maybe you're single and you would like to have a relationship with someone who is Jewish but not a Social Justice Warrior.

This chavurah -- Jewish friends group -- might be right for you. We will have social activities, religious activities, and political activities. These will be separate, and you won't be expected to participate in all 3 types. Agnostic and atheist Jews that value Judaism are welcome. Non-Jews that are seriously considering Judaism are welcome. "Messianic Jews" will be happier with your Messianic church groups than with this group.
