Welcome to NWI Young Professionals! This group is perfect for Millennials or older Gen Z in the Northwest Indiana area looking to meet new friends and enjoy outdoor activities like charity rides, bonfires, sports, hiking, biking, camping, rafting, kayaking, and nature walks. We also offer volunteer opportunities, trips, outings, game nights, and delicious food and wine. Come join us for fun adventures, make new connections, and create lasting memories with like-minded individuals who share a love for adventure and good company.

[https://www.facebook.com/NWIDeepThinkers/](https://www.facebook.com/NWIDeepThinkers/) Here, we will discuss various deep and philosophical topics, such as the nature of the universe, consciousness, morality, what the future will be like, advancements in science and technology, religion, spirituality (or lack of), politics, as well as many more interesting subjects. The point of getting together and discussing all this is to learn about and understand other people's views on the world, especially if they are quite different than our own. In doing so, we will gain a greater understanding of each other, become more empathetic towards others with vastly different worldviews, and will be better equipped to debate against ideas we may disagree with. Plus, I'm sure we'll make many new friends along the way. The values of respect, open mindedness, and critical thinking are incredibly important here, as we want to build an environment where everyone can discuss their ideas, no matter how wrong others may perceive them to be. Given the nature of these topics, many opinions may be controversial, and things could get a bit heated. To prevent this, we must always keep in mind that we are here to learn what others believe, and why they do; not to hate or shame others for their beliefs.

Whats up NWI and South Suburbs?! Are you ready for some fun events in the region!? Here's an opportunity for meeting new people and connecting with old friends for some! We strive to have non-intimidating, comfortable social events after work and on the weekends. So, why spend the weekend sitting at home alone when you could be hanging out with a bunch of fun loving singles & couples from the area? You may have noticed our name change and new direction for our group. While we have always been open to singles, couples, those dating, its now more clearly stated. Since many of us over the years have formed friendships, relationships (dating and otherwise) and even gotten married, it seems the name "SINGLES" was a bit misaligned with who we are today as a group. So therefore, we have broadened our description and are revising our alignment. Who is this group for? ANY singles, couples, any adults, any lifestyle, ethic or religious background. Married, divorced, separated, etc. ALL are welcome! Who do we not welcome: * Men hitting on women through private PMs in the group, Disrespectful, rude behavior is not tolerated. Trolling women in PM's and generally being "creepy". * We are not Match.com. Anyone being offensive on private messages will be removed. Keep in mind that lots of the women on this site are not looking for someone to date. They might already have someone special in their life. * If you want to meet someone to date in this group who isn't attached, please do it in person, not in private messages. If you have met someone in person and want to continue the conversation, private messages are great for that! * Kids (note that picnics and private events we usually include kids but most events are ADULT ONLY) That being said, our ages range quite a bit and most age groups are welcome. Our average ages of members are **40's - 60's** though. If you are in your twenties or thirties, we might be too "mature" for your tastes. If you're age seventies and beyond, you might not be "in pace" with us. Or you might. It just depends on the person. Join us for our next meetup! We would love to meet you! Mike & Erica Events Planners/Organizers A few rules and comments: * If you have not uploaded a picture of yourself yet, we highly recommend this. We need to know who to look for at the meetups and it helps us to remember your name. * If you join this group and do not attend meetups for a very long period of time (like a year or more) or continue to RSVP and do not cancel and do not show up, you will eventually be removed. Its OK to change your mind and UN-RSVP before the meetup at any time. People who continue to "No Show" regularly though, will eventually be removed. Please be accountable to the events that you say that you will attend (especially those that require reservations). * If you don't log onto the meetup site at least once in 10 months or more, you're probably going to be removed. Please don't get your panties in a bunch over it. We're just cleaning house. No hard feelings. Rejoin at ANY TIME! We would love to have you back! There is no point in wasting your time or ours if you're not into the group though. * If you joined this group without using your real first name, you will be removed. You do not have to include your last name in your profile but no "nicknames" or made-up names please. If we are not doing the kinds of meetups you would like to see, please suggest meetups! Volunteer to lead meetups as well! We are open to many new ideas. Members will have the opportunity to sign up for these meetups. \*\*VOLUNTEERS ARE IMPORTANT!\*\* We need you to step up and help! There is no way that we can do it all. Start a discussion today and get people motivated about your ideas! * Please see other group rules on the discussion board. If you have concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to ask. We are very understanding with privacy concerns.

The Empty Circle Zen Group has been created as a working experiment open to all Sangha members and individual new to meditation with the thoughts and intention to take action towards the following goals: * To create a space where individuals can share and reflect upon their experiences, relationships and well being in their Buddhist practice. * To educate ourselves on current events and their impact on certain groups, on historical realities that have shaped where we are today, and to our own blind spots, privileges, and biases. * To formulate specific protocols through which the Empty Circle Zen Group, as an institution, can skillfully address concerns about safety and inclusion. * To build bridges with other local faith groups to see how our social justice programs can inform and support one another. * To support community actions that address systemic oppression beyond the local confines of the institution on a national and global level.

A Meetup group for people who love reading self-help books and want to APPLY what they learn. This is why we go through books one chapter at a time. I know that's not for everyone, but that's ok :) Discussions will take place via Zoom. **Benefits** * Feel great about reading a book AND using it to improve your life. * Have fun discussing the book with a supportive community. * Maybe you’ll even make a new friend! **Format** (flexible, I'm experimenting 😉) * Ken (that's me) will introduce 3 ideas from a book chapter. * There is no need for any participant (except Ken) to have read the book. * Participants can introduce their own ideas if they’ve read the chapter. But we’ll keep the total number of ideas to 3. * Group will discuss the ideas and if/how they plan to implement them in their own lives. * The plan is to meet 1x per month with each Meetup focused on one book chapter. PS. Bring a favorite beverage to keep you hydrated.

If you've noticed that there has to be true-love blockers out there behind the scenes sabotaging people's efforts to get married, then this group is for you. If you doubt that this is happening, then it isn't. We can meet at public places to discuss what can be done about it since the cops and prosecutors don't seem to care about our Constitutional 1st Amendment right to peaceably assemble and arrest true-love blockers who that's what they are if they are boyfriend/girlfriend blocking....

What is Permaculture?

“Permaculture is a design system based on ethics and principles which can be used to establish, design, manage and improve all efforts made by individuals, households and communities towards a sustainable future.” - David Holmgren, co-creator of permaculture. The goal of permaculture is to care for the earth and each other by creating harmonious and mutually beneficial relationships through observation of and working with the existing patterns of nature. It can be applied in gardens, technology, businesses, homes, communities, groups, or any other designable system. The Northwest Indiana Permaculture Meetup is one such group that is applying permaculture design to its own development. We see this group as an evolving resource to help facilitate the application of permaculture, its principles, and connection with others who wish to be involved with permaculture in the Northwest Indiana region. Our Sunday Monthly Meetups give us a social context and allow the group to plan further activities that specifically reflect the needs and desires of the group. Some examples are site visits, study groups, field trips, workshops, permablitzes, or whatever else you can dream up.

Check out our calendar for upcoming and past events. We invite you to join us at any of our upcoming events, where you can meet other permaculturists, get a bite to eat, share in the learning or get your hands dirty. In the end we feel that simply learning about permaculture increases awareness of our world’s connectedness and is a step towards sustainability.

"This is a group for anyone interested in hiking, adventure & exploring, and community activities that are good for the soul - sole. All skill levels are welcome. I started this group to meet other adventure & exploring enthusiasts. Looking forward to exploring with everybody."
