Greater Social Life Union of Wakefield

Wakefield, 45

Greater Social Life Union of Wakefield

The Thumoslang Network is an association of groups whose members use Thumoslang, the nomenclature for social clarity, as their basic strategy for greater social life. Part of the network is the Greater Social Life Union (GSLU). Its mission is long-lasting joy for its members through faster actualization of their personal ideals.

There are many steps on your journey to greater social life. Here are the first steps for members of GSLU. After reading the rest of this introduction, you should read the 2021 book The Guide to Thumoslang. Many of our members put this new knowledge into practice as suggested by The GSLU Handbook.

When you spend more time in damage control mode and less time benefiting from your various relations, you waste a great deal of effort in your social life. Such a cost of opportunity keeps you from going at high speed towards your ideals, in creating your ideal self, and in actualizing what you truly want to become. This is likely due to a lack of social clarity, which is essential for internal conversations and vital for meaningful relationships.

Unintentionally created in 2017, accidentally discovered in 2018, and first taught in 2019, Thumoslang is the nomenclature for social clarity. It is used as a language for faster communication, be it in complex collaboration or difficult conversation. The first widespread use of social clarity has been predicted by Thumoslang pioneers to be just as important as the first widespread control of fire. All is explained by The Guide to Thumoslang, which is backed by The Dictionary of Thumoslang.

Again, the Thumoslang Network is an association of groups whose members use Thumoslang, the nomenclature for social clarity, as their basic strategy for greater social life. Part of the network is the Greater Social Life Union (GSLU). Its mission is long-lasting joy for its members through faster actualization of their personal ideals.

Your ideals are the same as your ideal self, which means what you truly want to become. "Everything else is secondary," said Steve Jobs. Our group activities involve you with the first practical steps in the further development of your ideals, in keeping others from interfering with your life, and in building a group of in-person friends who keep on encouraging you and nurturing your ideals. To be sure, if you lack social clarity in your internal conversations, face unwanted drama too often, are not sure of your social life or your path into the future, or have no friends and no groups available on a regular basis to help create your ideal self, this group is for you.

*** MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS ***

Our group activities bring you the following benefits:

Benefit 1 - Mastery of Relationships

As new GSLU members participate in the union's activities, they will quickly find themselves having noticeable enhancements in their social lives. The further they participate in GSLU activities, the faster they naturally acquire the mastery of relationships.

Benefit 2 - Best Friends for Your Ideals

Our group activities include practical steps in building a group of in-person friends who keep on encouraging you and nurturing your ideals.

Benefit 3 - Internal Dialogues More Effective

Thumoslang is a set of terminology whose use is intended to benefit one's clarity in social situations. Consequently, Thumoslang allows you to have clearer communication with yourself in your mind.

Benefit 4 - Meaningful Relationships Much Stronger

Our members use Thumoslang to mend or strengthen their existing relationships, build new relations, and achieve greater social life.

Benefit 5 - Faster Actualization of Your Ideals

The actualization of your ideals goes faster when it regularly involves your best group, which is the small group of in-person, second-mind friends who are the best for the nurturing of your ideals. Our activities help you speed up the actualization of your ideals by reducing social roadblocks and increasing social shortcuts in your life.

The Aetherius Temple - Barnsley

Birdwell, 37

The Aetherius Temple - Barnsley
Are you looking for Spiritual Truth, inner peace and a way to really make a difference in the world? Do you want to develop your intuition? Would you like to really use your innate healing powers? Do you want proper answers to the fundamental questions about why we are here, our true purpose and potential in life? If the answer is YES, then King Yoga is for you! **Watch our [Introductory Video](https://player.vimeo.com/video/624811943?h=4f01040381)** As a spiritual seeker, you may feel overwhelmed by the number of claims being made by spiritual teachers. One says one thing – another says the opposite. What can you believe – or trust? The only ways to know are: intuition, logic and sense perception. When you really experience King Yoga for yourself, you will know that it works. Taught by western Master of Yoga Dr. George King (1919 – 1997), King Yoga is a spiritual path free from the outdated dogma of traditional religion – a spiritual path that can bring you real enlightenment, and enable you to change the consciousness of humanity as a whole. King Yoga is threefold: service to others, spiritual teachings and self-development. This makes it perfectly balanced for karmic evolution. King Yoga is not about blind faith. It is about the realization of Truth. King Yoga is not about rejecting logic. It is about understanding what the universe really is – and what and who you really are. King Yoga is not about praying to God for random miracles. King Yoga is about your ability to make miracles happen. *** The Aetherius Temple in Barnsley is a unique, beautifully-designed sanctuary of worship and healing dedicated to the spiritual ideals of peace, freedom and enlightenment. Lovingly renovated over a period of several years, the vast majority of the work was carried out by King Yogis, many of whom donated hundreds of hours of time completely free of charge – motivated purely by the desire to be of selfless service to others. This has helped to ensure that the subtle vibrations of the building itself are conducive to enhancing spiritual awareness. As well as being the venue for talks, workshops and seminars, the Temple also serves as the venue for free spiritual healing, world healing prayer services, Divine services, commemorations of holy events, and Operation Prayer Power. These are some of the most sacred practices taking place anywhere on Earth – imbuing the Temple with an energy of profound inspiration. JOIN IN THESE ACTIVITIES IN-PERSON OR ONLINE. We look forward to welcoming you very soon!

Barnsley New Friendships ( 20 + ) 💙⭐️

Wombwell, 37

Barnsley New Friendships ( 20 + ) 💙⭐️
Hello Everyone, my name is Adam and I've been the organiser of this welcoming and friendly social group since June 2023 with the goal of making it very popular. It is for anyone based in Barnsley and the surrounding areas aged 20 and above that’s interested in making new friends. I used to feel that Barnsley was lacking in a proper regular Meetup group which is why I decided to set up one up to change that. There also isn’t a maximum age limit in this group which you will all be very pleased to know 😊 THE GROUP RULES : There is only a few ground rules that everyone should know about. 1 , Firstly anyone joining the group needs to have a clear face picture of themselves that was taken recently, so no blank profiles or inappropriate images please. 2\. Secondly I politely ask people to update your attendance accordingly within a few hours of each meeting just out of courtesy if you can’t make it for whatever reason\. I always try to be flexible whenever I can \, only if someone has failed to show up without any communication 4 times in a row will I have to consider removing them\. However if in the unlikely event that does happen \, they will have the option to rejoin again after 6 months \( 180 Days \) has passed\. 3\. Please keep communication as mutual and respectful as possible\, try not to private message people you haven’t met before in the WhatsApp group unless you have consent to do so first \. If anyone feels they are being bothered too much by someone they don’t know at all\, let me know and I’ll deal with it promptly\. This group offers a wide variety of activities such as restaurants meals , open air festivals , the cinema 🎦 , ten pin bowling 🎳 , afternoon walks, stand up comedy nights , coach trips and even days out on the train 🚆 to other towns and cities. Usually about 3 or 4 events are held each month including an afternoon coffee ☕️ meeting on the first Sunday of each month and our well attended Pub drinks 🍷 social evening on the last weekend of each month. It’s all about having a good laugh, relaxing and living in the moment and enjoying ourselves . Plus there is no membership fee requirement to join like some groups have. If any particular event doesn’t get much interest or less than 4 people attending , then it will usually have to be either cancelled or rescheduled to a later time. There is also an active WhatsApp group available for regulars who wish to stay connected with each other outside of events , so if anyone feels this group is right for them feel free to send a join request and see what happens, or just message me with any questions you have and I’ll reply to you soon as possible, thanks for reading ! 🙂

Sheffield Mountaineering

Sheffield, 37

Sheffield Mountaineering
Welcome to Sheffield Mountaineering. We are a long established and very friendly group for people who enjoy exploring mountains and hills in the UK without being solely focused on rock climbing (although we do plenty of that too). Being based in Sheffield we take full advantage of the Peak District as well as making regular trips away to Snowdonia, the Lake District, the Scottish Highlands and the great mountain ranges of mainland Europe. Our main activities include scrambling, rock climbing, winter climbing, hiking, caving, abseiling and indoor climbing. We cater for all levels of ability and experience so whether you’re a seasoned Alpinist, just a hill walker looking to move on to something a bit more adventurous or anything in between, you have come to the right place. All our outings take place under the guidance of an experienced mountain leader. Membership of our group is absolutely free but at each of our events we do appreciate donations of £2.00 per person towards our substantial MeetUp fees and other operating costs. We do not wish to make any profit from our mission of facilitating mountain outings for like minded people under professional level guidance but if those benefiting from our activities can help out with our expenses in some small way it is always very welcome. Please see the notes below and hope to hear from you soon.... Important Notes: This Meet Up group provides an informal means of meeting fellow mountain enthusiasts and enjoying what the great outdoors has to offer. Although there is always an element of knowledge sharing, it is not a Club or Training/Coaching group and therefore members of the group should not expect to receive any special training or instruction. While mountain safety is always our number one priority, at the end of the day as with any other voluntary activities, you remain responsible for your own Health, Safety and Well Being. For any of the Meet Up activities, please ensure you are comfortable with what you are doing and that you are fully informed of the risks. Any doubts at all then please ask. The group does not have any insurance and cannot accept responsibility for the actions of its members. Please note the following BMC Participation Statement: "The BMC recognises that climbing, hill walking and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions and involvement."

Welcome to Steel City Heritage Events (SCHE). My name is Steve, and I am passionate about local history. I have been involved in arranging and hosting a wide variety of activities for a number of local social clubs, for nearly ten years.

SCHE aims to connect like minded people to celebrate the rich heritage of the City of Sheffield and the surrounding area, through arranging history walks, and visits to museums and historical buildings and locations.

We are a friendly group and actively encourage the members to arrange, host and contribute to events and share knowledge on local heritage topics. We all bring something to the party.

* Please change your RSVP as soon as you know you can't attend. We know that sometimes life interferes with our social plans so it can't be helped.

* If you're running late – please let the event host know.

* Three 'no-shows' and we will remove you from the group. Sorry about this, but it's something which frustrates us. (The first time this happens you will have chance to re-join, but if it's persistent we may permanently remove you)

* Gate-crashing – Please do not "gate-crash" an event which is full and/or has a waiting list. This will be treated in a similar way to no-showing.
