This group is for everyone interested in foraging, processing, and using pigments from earth, minerals, and native plants. We welcome folks working with natural dyes and clays in ceramics, although this group will mainly focus on Pigments used in drawing materials, inks, and paint.

Boston transplants and new friends

Boston, MA

Are you new to Boston? Have you been here for a while but are looking for new friends? Are you looking for fun activities and new adventures? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you're in the right place. One week we may be doing a photo walk or attending a candlelight concert, while the next we may have a picnic or go to a beer garden/restaurant. Anything is possible and suggestions from members are welcome. While we may have some events in beer gardens or breweries, this is not a drinking/partying group. This group is primarily meant for people in their 20s, 30s and early 40s. I see a lot of people interested in outdoors activities. If you are interested, check out my other group: [Boston Outside (Boston, MA) | Meetup](https://www.meetup.com/boston-outside/)

Hanover Herbs Meetup

This is for everyone who wants to explore herbal approaches to health. Each meeting will have a different theme, which might be an exploration of a particular herb, or a particular ailment and its natural treatments, or how to identify and use the medicinal plants growing around us. The meetings will explore the state of scientific knowledge about the week's topics in addition to herbal and ethnobotanical aspects. Meetup members are encouraged to contribute with your own experiences and knowledge, in addition to the structured presentations.

Divorce/Separation Support, South of Boston

Norwell, MA

Note that we are not accepting new members at this time. If you’re going through, or have gone through, divorce or separation you know there is a wide array of emotions and stresses. Grief, pain, sadness, anger, remorse, regret, mourning, confusion, fear, heartbreak, depression and anxiety. Let’s not go through it alone. Anyone who is in the process of getting divorced/separated, is about to begin that process, or has gone through it is welcome to join. I created this group because I am in the midst of this emotional rollercoaster and find that talking about it with others who are in the midst of it, or have gone through it, helps me process my situation more effectively. I know there are others out there in the same boat. Let’s help each other through it. This will become OUR group, not my group. I have rented a conference room in Norwell for two evenings each month to provide comfortable, quiet, and confidential space for us to talk. I am tentatively planning on every other Monday evening from 7:00--8:30pm. We can chat there in confidence then hit a bar to grab a bite and/or a drink after the session for anyone interested in connecting socially (leaving the divorce talk behind). We may adjust frequency depending on attendance and feedback from the group. Note that we won’t have any professionals here. No therapists or counselors. Just a group of people working through these challenges looking for support and a place to talk about it. If we grow in size and decide together to bring in guest speaker(s) or a meeting facilitator or the like we can decide that together. Member / Meeting rules: 1. Confidentiality is critical. What’s said in the meeting stays in the meeting. a. Do not repeat who you saw or what was said in the meeting. b. Do not guess what someone would mind having repeated – just don’t repeat it. c. If you meet someone from the group in another situation, don’t discuss their participation in this group unless initiated by them. Let them decide if they want to mention their involvement in this new setting. d. Do not share with the group anything that would be harmful to you if it were repeated. 2) **Respect** – We must respect each other and provide a listening ear. Offer advice only when requested and remember to label your ideas as your opinion based on your experience versus the right or wrong way. 3) No one will be forced to participate in the discussion. Some of us will be there to just listen and learn. 4) This will be a **judgement free zone**. A safe space. “Killer comments” are not appropriate in a support group. These include sarcastic comments, cutting humor, hurtful statements, and inappropriate body language and facial expressions. 5) Guests are welcome. A support person (friend, family member) can be helpful to increase your comfort level. Please make sure they follow these rules. 6) Pets are not allowed. To help pay for the room I ask for a $5 donation per person, per meeting. I’ll reduce the request if we get enough people to cover the expense. I’m not looking to make money on this. If $2 per person covers the cost that is what I will ask for. If $5 per person does not cover it, I will make up the difference. Don’t let the money stop you from joining. You will not be turned away.

Past Life Regression & Professional Hypnosis Group

Hingham, MA

"The self-image is the key to human personality and human behavior. Change the self-image and you change the personality and the behavior." - Maxwell Maltz

People recommend hypnosis as the quickest and fastest way to create change.

Hypnosis is a powerful tool that reprograms your subconscious mind with positive suggestions and beliefs that can move you easily toward your goals. Once these beliefs have been changed or revised, new behaviors begin to appear. Everything you have in your life is the result of your subconscious patterns of behavior. If you want to change your life, change the patterns!

These unique healing seminars generally meet in Hingham, MA and begin with a discussion group. We then move into a group hypnosis session.

Many topics are covered, including :

- habit control: weight management, cluttering issues, procrastination

- metaphysical hypnosis: Past Life Regression (this ongoing seminar is held once a month)

- life improvement: stress management, memory improvement, sports enhancement

Who is your facilitator? Kathryn McGlynn, Certified Hypnotist and Success Coach

Kathryn, certified through the National Guild of Hypnotists, has been in private practice since 1996. She also works in the corporate sector, delivering hypnosis seminars for large area health insurers.

Please note: These are paid events and space limits the group to 15 attendees. In order to secure a slot, you must pay in advance. You can pay securely through PayPal by visiting Kathryn's webpage : http://www.hypnosis.ws or through Meetup.com. Your check or cash are also welcome.

Kathryn's mission statement: Change is much easier than staying the same.
