Living from the Heart. Love, Goodness, Ultimate Self, Peace or Joy. Whatever we may call it, we somehow know that what we are seeking is within us. Meditation is the vehicle we use to move us forward on our journey of Self-Discovery. When we strengthen the connection between the Heart and the Mind with regular practice, our life becomes wonderfully balanced. Heartfulness is a simple and effective way to integrate Meditation into our daily routine. It leads us from the constant outer activity of life into our inner selves where personal transformation happens in the silence of our Heart. It is a remodeled system of Raja Yoga, Yoga of the Mind, which calms the mental activity and brings us to a centered state, thus becoming focused and effective, the value of which can be felt by our own direct experience. Through a daily practice of Heartfulness meditation, we learn to maximize the efficiency of the Mind and the beauty of the Heart leading to our individual personal excellence. This is your invitation to experience this unique practice. There is no fee to learn or practice our method. Please visit our international site: www.heartfulness.org

We'll visit local breweries, distilleries and restaurants, and do other fun activities like live music, festivals and hiking. If you have any suggestions for events, just let me know! I look forward to meeting all of you soon 🙂

WELCOME TO THE SOUTH JERSEY GEEK GUILD: We are a very active group, and are open to anyone who enjoys hanging out with other geeks. Our primary events are game nights but we also host other interest-related events and social get-togethers. If you like playing board games (no, not Monopoly), role playing games or computer games; listening to Weird Al, Johnathan Coulton and other "geeky" music; finding an excuse to hang out with fellow geeks at renaissance faires and conventions, or just staying in watching a movie together (occasionally quoting as you go), this group is for you. If you just want to hang out and meet other people, this group is for you! We are LGBTQ friendly. We require attendees to have their COVID vaccination. Members must be over 21 years old since our board game events are byob. **NOTES:** Please try to be on time and to honor your RSVP, as it's not fair if we wait to start for you to get here.  We understand things come up, just let us know when they do.
