Friends Outdoors

Commerce Township, MI

Friends Outdoors is just that, friends who get together on a regular basis to have a great time together outdoors. Friends Outdoors are people who know each other or are connected with someone in the group who like to do outdoor activities, such as hiking, kayaking, Standup Paddleboarding, bonfires, and possibly camping and other adventures, group choice. Group members know each other, or are referred by someone already a member, which is a safer way to participate in a hiking group, rather than hiking with strangers.

If so, you can join the club by downloading the membership form ([http://solaroutdoors.com/downloads/S.O.L.A....](http://solaroutdoors.com/downloads/S.O.L.A.R_Membership_Application.pdf)), filling it out, and either submitting it with a check for the dues payment at one of the meetings or mailing both to the address listed on the bottom of the membership form. Once you are a club member you will have access to this Meetup group. Thank you for your interest in Solar Outdoors. We hope to meet you soon.

Metro Detroit Recreational Outdoor/Indoor Pick-up Basketball

Livonia, MI

**Metro-Detroit Recreational Outdoor Pick-up (M-DROP) Basketball**: This group is for anyone interested in some clean, fun, recreational outdoor (and indoor) pick-up basketball in the Metro Detroit Area. It was started out of a desire to see some organized pick-up basketball in the Metro Detroit Area that didn't require any membership/rental fees for indoor gyms (especially during the Spring/Summer/Fall time when the weather is nice enough to play outside on Free Public Courts. This group is open to all, so "Youngbloods" and "Oldtimers" are equally welcomed. We are open to all skill levels (provided you either already know or can quickly pick up on rules of the game). The one thing requested is that people be respectable and respectful! This group is meant to be a fun way for folks to get some moderate intensity outdoor cardio in on the weekends without having to sign up for gym memberships or set up rec-league teams. **Basic Ground Rules (The following rules all fall under the Motto of "*Be respectful*")**: • Please refrain from showboating or trash talking; as mentioned earlier, this is meant to be a just-for-fun group and we don't want to incite any brawls. • Physical play is acceptable to a limit: NO Hard/Dirty Fouls!!! We don't want people injuring themselves and having to miss work or school. • We will also be playing on public outdoor courts for the most part, so players should be respectful to the public hoops and nets; please refrain from hanging on rims or pulling on nets. We play outdoors in the Spring/Summer/Fall on Saturdays from 10:00 am to 12 noon. Games are scheduled at alternating courts in the Metro Detroit Area, such as at ITC Sports Park in Northville/Novi, Harding Park in Ferndale, Lawson Park in Royal Oak Park, Griffin Park in Canton, Corrado Park in Westland, various courts in Detroit, and more. Winter games on Saturday are at a gym in Livonia. Weekday games are on Wednesdays or Thursdays, typically from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, and are usually played at a gym in Dearborn. Most all games are 5 v 5 full court (unless fewer than 10 players show up, which is very rare). Games are relatively short timewise, so awaiting players can quickly rotate into the next game. \- Tim $Organizer$

Southfield Embodied Process Groups: Indoor & Outdoor Options

Southfield, MI

***Hello and welcome to your Wellness Beyond Words!*** When someone joins a process group, they become part of a conscious constellation with others, and the breadth of their life expands. Group work holds deep potential for you to discover your own and other people’s infinity – and the extraordinary experience of being revealed together. **There may be nothing more needed in our world today.** I facilitate several different ongoing, committed process groups. (One always meets outdoors, and the other three meet indoors, at the beautiful Evans Creek Lodge on the Rouge River.) The growth, bravery, safety and love that develops in these groups continue to mystify me. **Group members learn to be present with evermore of their most loving, wild, relational and authentic selves.** Together, they reclaim, nourish and strengthen. These experiences reach throughout group members’ lives and even seem to reach through time as well, healing old wounds, and pave the way for future successes. ***What happens in a group?*** Many different things, for sure. But we often first settle into ourselves and the session with various forms of warming up, then check in with each other, which leads us to explore and support the needs and longings that are currently present. This generally involves some degree of revealing, moving, laughing, and learning, while feeling more seen and less alone. We close as a circle and return a couple weeks later to find our flow again. Somehow, over time, a kind of alchemy develops. And lives change. ***Through group process you will also be able to…*** * Clarify your boundaries, wants and needs with others * Experience an extraordinary amount of group energy to help lift you beyond your current limits, in the timing that is compassionately attuned to your own growth * Have others there to reflect your strengths and the impact you make in the world * Learn how to tolerate and appreciate a growing capacity for vulnerability with others * Discover defensive patterns that may seem to keep you feeling safe, but are actually pulling you off course from your true longings and needs * Be in a space where differentness is explored as a gateway to intimacy as opposed to separation * Get more in touch with your body and integrate the great knowledge of your head with the rest of you! ***Facilitated by*** Bodymind Counselor, Jeremy Fulwiler, LMSW, ACCEP, CTS, who has an extensive history as a body psychotherapist treating trauma, mood, and more. These groups are not "therapy," however, but an opening to your individual and collective potential. **Group costs** range from $100 (Outdoor Core) to $120/month (Core Energetics Process Groups), which covers two sessions/month. A sliding scale is available where needed. Three-month (six session) initial commitment for new members helps maintain continuity and safety for all. The groups runs indefinitely with a maximum size of 12 members. More info at [www.wellnessbeyondwords.com](www.wellnessbeyondwords.com).

Ann Arbor Sketchers

Ann Arbor, MI

**Ann Arbor Sketchers** is a Meetup group based out of Ann Arbor for members who would like to sketch outdoors (and inside, in inclement weather) in the nearby company of other sketchers. The intention of this group is to encourage ourselves to spend more time outdoors, in picturesque settings, engaged in the quiet, shared activity of drawing. Come Winter season, we can continue inside, sketching at local museums, the Botanical Garden conservatory, and other settings. After each session, if members would like, we can meet up at a coffee shop and socialize, including sharing with each other what we drew (if a member so chooses). There are no artistic skills necessary to become a member of **Ann Arbor Sketchers**, just a willingness to forgo socializing as the central activity until after the sketching session is over. Events will be held outdoors (with seasonal considerations taken into account), exploring different sites in and around Ann Arbor. Note, this Meetup group does not consider creating art a competitive sport, rather we aim to promote drawing as an expressive outlet we can all participate in that can both enriching and fun. Hope to see you around with your sketchpad (or other visual medium of choice)!

Tri-County Photography

Farmington, MI

Tri-County Meetups’ mission is to provide both an excellent shooting experience combined with an excellent learning experience to enable attendees to become a self-sufficient independent photographer. We are unique as compared to most meetup groups that the instructor is actively working with the students individually and collectively; looking at the students playback and histograms to insure success from both an exposure, but also a compositional and design aspect. Attending a Tri-County Meetup event you can be assured that the instructor does not just point at the subject and announce “There it is; start shooting and I will return in three hours.” Students do not have to compete with the Tri-County Instructor for shooting from the best place or time. All priorities are given to the student. Our master photography instructors seldom shoots any photos. If the instructor does shoot, it is usually to provide a better teaching situation for the student to review a composition in the playback of the camera that the student may not have understood. Our meetups help build a stronger portfolio for both the beginner or the professional. We encourage the asking of questions and because we specialize in small size groups, the mandate of one-on-one assistance is easily accomplished.

We have state of the art studio facilities and offer group shoots on location and outdoors as the season permits. We also offer meet-ups with open computer time to edit and print your best images. Critique sessions or portfolio reviews are offered usually on the second Friday night of every other month co-Sponsored by Midwest Photography Workshops.
