Just Between Friends (NOT ACCEPTING NEW MEMBERS)

Hamilton, OH

Just Between Friends (NOT ACCEPTING NEW MEMBERS)
There are lots of Meetup groups out there focused on developing new friendships between strangers, but, what happens when strangers meet, become friends, and want to simply focus on building and growing their own blossoming friendships? That is what this group is all about - the chance to get to know one another better, the comfort of meetups with people you've hung out with before, the advantage of knowing what to expect from each other, and the opportunity to explore and adventure with people with whom you know you're going to have fun. We want to keep our group and many of our meetups on the smaller side, as we feel it is the best way to get to know people. Our group will grow as our friendships do. We want active members whom we know or who are recommended by other members and who will help build a community of kindness, respect, and fun. We will continue to do the sorts of activities we were doing together in the groups in which we first met. These include enriching our knowledge of the wonderful area in which we live through tours and lectures; bettering our health through walking in 5Ks and going on hikes; challenging ourselves with trivia; exploring the arts by attending concerts, plays, and visiting museums; working on our co-operative skills through murder mystery dinners and escape rooms; gaining new perspectives via a monthly book club; sharpening our skills at or learning new crafts; and, of course, enhancing our friendships through various social activities such as movie nights, comedy clubs, karaoke, brunches, and dinners. We are always open to new ideas, as well.

Meditation for Spiritual Awareness Springboro Ohio

Springboro, OH

Meditation for Spiritual Awareness Springboro Ohio

Meditation for Spiritual Awareness Meetups are open to people of all faiths and backgrounds, and all meditation practices. Whether you are starting out and want to explore this further, or have been meditating for years, these meet-ups aim at increasing our understanding of the technique and improving our practices.

People have been practicing meditation for centuries. Today we see a surge in its popularity as new benefits continue to be discovered. Meditation has been proven to benefit both our bodies and minds. Many are now realizing an additional advantage — the tremendous benefits spiritual meditation has for our soul.

Regions of Light that embrace souls with a powerful love await each one of us within. Sights and sounds beyond anything we could ever imagine reside within us. Incredible music, far beyond any that can be produced by worldly instruments, is reverberating at every moment.

Does it Cost Anything to Learn this Meditation?

Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj says like all other gifts of nature, spirituality is free. He teaches meditation free of charge, and programs sponsored by Science of Spirituality are also free.

Do I Need to Learn Yoga in Order to Meditate?

Unlike some forms of yoga, this meditation technique does not involve difficult practices or rigorous postures. We can meditate when sitting in any pose that is comfortable, in which we can sit still for an extended period of time. Meditation on the inner Light and Sound is so simple it can be practiced by anyone.

Can we Remain in Our Religion and Practice this Meditation?

The spiritual teachers of this path never advocate that we change our religion or withdraw from the world to practice meditation. In fact, a hallmark of this path is positive mysticism, the belief that we should fulfill our duties and obligations to our families and societies while pursuing our spiritual goals.

And all of these events are sponsored by Science of Spirituality and are free of cost. Science of Spirituality is a worldwide spiritual organization dedicated to transforming lives through meditation, under the direction of Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj.
