Wilmington Christian Single Parents Meetup Group

Wilmington, NC

This is a group to bring together Christian single parents to support each other while getting out with and without our kids. More often than not you should expect these events to be meeting up at playgrounds for the kids to play, or at a park to play a game together, or meeting at a coffee shop to have coffee while the kids play. The intent of this is for friendships to develop through the mutual support offered by the group that may have the potential for a relationship. **If you are not a single parent, this group is not for you**

New Hanover County Kirtan By Spirit Soul And Friends™

Wilmington, NC

Welcome to New Hanover County Kirtan By Spirit Soul And Friends™ Are you a spiritual seeker? Do you want to deepen your spiritual practice? Kirtan may be just the activity you are looking for! Kirtan is simple, requires no experience and is always donation-based. Kirtan is call and response using transcendental mantras. You don't have to have a melodic voice or be a professional singer. All you need is an open heart and mind. Kirtan is a universally recommended activity in all spiritual processes throughout the world. Engage and experience Kirtan, a non-denominational practice that has been passed down since time immemorial and a constant in all paths and religions. Getting together as a group is a fun way to do this! It is a great activity for families and communities. You will be hearing and singing beautiful mantras and transcendental sounds that create peace and harmony by their spiritual potency! Come taste the sweet nectar of true happiness and peace by joyously chanting transcendental sound vibrations! **WHAT IS KIRTAN?** Kirtan is when two or more people get together to joyously sing or chant 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 things and happenings in this material world, so obviously not just any sound is a mantra. Ancient Yoga texts describe the sound vibrations that hold the spiritual potency to free us from material conditioning, are Mantras. God's Names (Mantras) and Words have that spiritual potency and are as spiritually 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 bringing 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 New Hanover Mantra Meditation MeetUp kirtan events that require payment for admission. We look forward to seeing you and your family at one of the many upcoming events! Aloha and Namaste Patita Pavana, Director Of Community Events for [Spirit Soul And Friends™ - A Musical Peace Troupe](https://www.spiritsoulandfriends.com)

New Group

Wilmington 20s / 30s - Friends and Social Group

Wilmington, NC

*NOTE: This is a new group as of late September 2024 and I am working to populate more events for the upcoming months.* **Who We Are:** We are a social group in the Wilmington area that focuses on creating social connection through repeated events. The focus is to create a common ground with an activity or event and form friends through that shared interest. **Who Should Join:** This group revolves around the 20s and 30s age bracket because there seems to be a need for a young college grads, young professionals, and transplants to have an easy way to make connections. The hope is that these events can become parts of your regular schedule and that you make friends here of your own to carry outside of this group. **What to Expect:** Our events will vary but the main goal is to have something central to focus around, so even if the people who show don't click with each other (we hope you still do though), there is still something to do if conversation doesn't flow. Also, we aim to have events on regular days/times, hopefully alleviating some of the awkwardness of "that person was cool but I probably won't EVER see them again" that you get with one-off events that change every time. The idea here is that if the day/time worked this week, it'll likely work next week. **A (little) About Your Group Owner:** Frankly, I am the person this group is targeted for. I've moved a few times in my twenties and had to start my social life over numerous times. I have run similar events in the past and many of my friends come from groups just like this. Hoping to facilitate the same success I have had, just here in Wilmington instead. Also, meetup has always been a tough spot to coordinate after an event, feel free to meet in the middle by tagging event photos, finding friends, and more here on the Instagram group I manage: [https://www.instagram.com/wilmington.meetup/](https://www.instagram.com/wilmington.meetup/) ***NOTE:*** *We value any input and openly welcome suggestions, so please reach out if you have any ideas for improvement. Also, reach out if you'd be interested in any form of leadership role within the group. Not sure what that entails yet but I likely can't host every single day something is happening.*
