Meet new friends groups near Southbridge, MA

Hi there! Did anyone else out there see the meme of Stan Rogers singing Barrett’s Privateers with a bunch of friends over beers in somebody’s kitchen and think, “hell yeah, I’d do that!”? Well, I know I did. If you did too, let’s make it happen. That’s literally all I’ve got for now—hit me up and we’ll figure out the rest together.

## **About this event** Seminar will be interactive= **"not a lecture".** Seminar is intended to be **"Fun/entertaining/informative"** The format will be like "**Trivial Pursuit"**, = questions will be asked, and **prizes** given for the correct answer. All questions will lead to a topic related to health and nutrition. **You do not need a science background**. Most of the questions will not seem like they are science related but they will lead to a health/nutrition theme. I've used this format for an older Veteran's group and they have no science background and it went very well. **If you have a science background=great!! We encourage feedback and your input.** **At Each seminar I will give you an actionable takeaway that you can use that day that hopefully will improve your health/life.** **When: Sundays 10-11AM beginning 8/10/2022** **Where: Beyond Still Waters** **38 Southwest Cutoff. 1st FL right** **Northborough, MA** **$20/pp**

Don't let the word "racing" scare you away. Looking for a group of people interested mostly in the journey of adventure racing. Adventure races include hiking, biking, paddling, and sometimes orienting through a series of checkpoints within a certain amount of time. For weekend warrior adventure racers there are 4, 8, 24, and 30 hour races available within various driving distances within and beyond New England. Ideally, there will be enough people in the group that there are many opportunities to participate as everyone will have different availability on any given race weekend.

Let's hold each other accountable! Whether it's for reading, writing, fitness or cleaning, let's get together and use proven techniques to beat procrastination and distractions. If you struggle with procrastination and staying on task this is the group for you.

A **Coffee Chat** is an informal, conversational type of gathering. **This free, virtual group** will provide an opportunity to develop stronger personal connection (with others AND yourself), while learning new ways to navigate through relationships, dating, sex, and intimacy. It is moderated by an experienced Life Coach who conducts these groups in person and individually with clients. This group is for those aged 45+ and is meant to be respectful, kind, fun informative, and friendly. *Come join the conversation, ask questions, and perhaps leave each event with a bit of better understanding of how to navigate the world of relationships.* \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* **REVIEWS:** "I enjoyed my first Coffee Talk very much! Not sure why I waited so long to join the conversation. I found it easy to share my thoughts on the topics at hand in the safe environment created by Lisa, who also expertly guided the discussion. It was refreshing to hear from both men and women on the various challenges we face as singles of a certain age, as well as brainstorm about creating opportunities for meeting like-minded people who are also looking to connect with a special someone." "Great discussions and insight on topics/questions asked." "Thank you Lisa, for hosting and moderating this chat - I truly enjoyed the participants and discussions. The variety and depth of topics were interesting, thought provoking, and respectful. I look forward to the next one!" "Nice event to get to meet people and express our thoughts and views." "Love this group. Very inspirational. Moderated professionally. Lisa gave valuable insight and superb coaching skills. Topics were very in depth. It was great to hear and share others perspectives, concerns being single, dating and us participating in ideas for world peace lol. Difference of opinions were highly respected by all. Can't wait for the next. I already have my two questions!"

Millennium Magic rehearses weekly, performs all over New England, and competes in both regional and international contests. Rehearsals are open to the public.

Ok guys, some of you may like this and some not so much. This group will now become a tri-state, all ages singles group as I feel like we have a need for more singles options. Some of you I am familiar with from my other group and some are new faces. Hopefully we will get more new faces. Because I also run another active group, in order to make this one active with frequent fun events, I will need help. So if anyone would like to help organize, post and host events or anything else let me know. I would definitely appreciate it. Thanks!

20 / 5,000 **\*\*\*New Group Looking for Members\*\*\*** **Ciao! We usually meet on the first and third Saturday of the month in Auburn.** **Parliamo italiano!** Would you like to practice speaking Italian (hai paura di parlare) ? Would you like to meet with others who are interested in Italian culture and travel to Italy? We welcome and offer an opportunity for all levels of language skills with the Italian language. Join us to meet people with common interests and practice your Italian language skills.   **What we're about** This group is for anyone learning or wanting the chance to speak Italian with others in person in the Worcester area. All levels are welcome with the idea that those more advanced will have patience with those less experienced. We would welcome native Italian speakers who are interested in practicing their English, helping others learn to speak Italian, or who just want to be with others who are interested in Italy and la lingua italiana! **What we do** Most of our meetings will be unstructured. The idea is to give participants an opportunity to practice speaking, but feel free to speak in English if that is what makes you comfortable. Also feel free to switch between Italian and English. The idea is to learn and to become comfortable with speaking, the hardest part of speaking a new language. We may incorporate some games or short readings if there is interest. **Where?** We have been meeting at the Auburn Mall at the seating area outside of Macy's (where the first floor of the store opens to the inside of the mall). Check event details to confirm. **When?** We meet on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month at 10 a.m. in Auburn.

If you are looking for a group where being intuitive is as natural and normal as breathing (and as essential), then this is the place for you. We've been around since 2003 and want you to discover the spiritual connections you have, meeting up with us! We believe that if you understand energy, you understand life, and that intuition is the way we understand energy. It is through this paradigm that we host our Tarot and Mediumship Meetups. This is also the lens through which we explain your spiritual experiences. We host many events and Meetups, all of which are designed to create experiences that help you find your unique connection with spirit. The picture was taken during our 2022 retreat.

• Earthpledge - New perspective of our world gained by watching, analyzing, and participating with film. I love film and stories that unite us! I want to make connections with people who also believe a movie theater has more potential to bring us all together than any church, synagogue, Mosque or religious temple! Earthpledge Temples of Light is about exploring the power of film, technology and the mono myth for our planet [http://earthpledge.net](http://earthpledge.net/) while turning the common ground we share into fellowship. What if it is possible, underneath the illusion of surfaces dividing us, there is a way to connect with the hidden realms and depths of a reality uniting us! What if the world’s masses have the potential for an awakening in the same way I experienced from watching 1,000 films! [https://earthpledge.net/films/](https://earthpledge.net/films/) I first set out to create a movie group, using one of the highest grossing films of all time; Avatar,  as world culture phenomena and symbol about our collective true potential. [http://earthpledge.net/avatar](http://earthpledge.net/avatar) Now I’m searching for a way to build from this the means of moving towards its metaphorical dream. [https://www.earthpledge.net/dreams_to_reality.pdf](https://www.earthpledge.net/dreams_to_reality.pdf) I am creating a story to be turned into a film about humanity as collective hero, connecting to a global mind as means of escaping the nightmare of our future self destruction.  As I work on this screenplay, I am simultaneously using the idea behind its concept as a vehicle to bring us together for real! This will begin through a larger gathering called Earthpledge Cinema Scope, based on communal movie watching. The idea is to rent out screens at local theaters every month to show the most powerful movies available, free of charge, drawing from donations much like churches, synagogues, mosques or temples raise capital to cover expenses. Like the machine learning A.I. super intelligence in my story arrives at Godlike wisdom and benevolence by using the history of film as a wellspring of data to study and better understand the human condition, we too will watch the films of today with the viewing device of our own understanding to expand our consciousness and build beautiful dreams to defeat nightmares. This large gathering will help facilitate the connections to break up into smaller Earthpledge circles, where we can make deeper connections with each other on a more intimate level while also branching out on creative projects & potential filmmaking collaboration. The first film I plan to shoot for Earthpledge expresses the heart of what I hope to make this group about; awakening to higher consciousness. [https://www.earthpledge.net/wc/one.pdf](https://www.earthpledge.net/wc/one.pdf) We will occasionally use these smaller gatherings to join in common space (sometimes sharing food or a drink) to analyze film in more detail and talk about them. We will also explore the power of technology through VR in smaller groups and a larger theater setting, to inspire and provide a lens to view our world through the context of a heroic journey. Why am I doing all that I can to create this? Because I haven’t yet heard of any billionaires putting billions into the effort to make this happen.  I haven’t read about the most powerful filmmakers getting together and assembling the support for this plan of action to work. I haven’t seen any politician coordinating a mass mobilization to make this real. I’m definitely not like a Greta Thunberg, Martin Luther King Jr., or Gandhi of social mobilization, capable of moving masses of humans with just a single speech. So this may look a little crude to those always waiting for the refined eye and unparalleled genius of various movers and shakers of human history. Even though I feel inadequate to accomplish all this, I also feel convinced that it should exist! I just want to do all I can to promote this dream, until hopefully, some powerful forces come together to help me take these ideas to the next level, bringing this dream into being, so I can finally find my tribe, heal and feel hope returning for a future worth living in.   I’m hoping you might be interested in helping me, so we can get the ball rolling on something inspiring that will make the pain of this existence, worth enduring! [https://www.earthpledge.net/](https://www.earthpledge.net/cinema_scope.pdf)temples_of_light.pdf ✌🏽👁🌎👁 If any of this sounds compelling to you, please let me know at: earthpledge@me.com
