Wadsworth Adventurers

Wadsworth, OH

Welcome to Wadsworth Adventurers! My name is Joanna and I've been a member of "WA" since its inception over 6 years ago. I am honored that starting Jan 2022 the original organizer, Jeff, has asked me to step in and keep WA going strong for years to come. Along with my husband, Dan, we welcome you to the WA family! Who we are: WA are group of like-minded adult adventurers that love to learn new skills, challenge ourselves and enjoy the company of others while doing all things outdoors. We engage in all types of outdoor activities such as: hiking, biking, camping, backpacking, kayak/SUP and many other sports. We also enjoy all sorts of social events and are looking for new ways to connect on a deeper level. How we "roll": We limit our event attendance so that we can provide a more meaningful experience through small group interaction. We like to learn a first name and a little about each person. The idea of herding 60+ people through an event is not on our radar at all. We are not about mining for numbers, we truly look to connect with our members. For that reason, we monitor our RSVP's for no-shows or chronic late cancellations. Signing up for an event means that someone else may not get the chance to join an experience. We ask that you please be mindful of your availability and interest when committing to a WA event. Philosophy: We are a community of outdoor learners and teachers alike with a "no one left behind" philosophy. We believe in helping our group-either through personal support, education or gear - and encourage anyone looking to explore the outdoors in a supportive, welcoming environment. No need to be shy here! Why "WA": Our group is for beginners through advanced adventurers! We encourage new suggestions and ideas - and always look for fun ways to enjoy the outdoors and learn something new. We will mainly base our events out of Summit County - but trips can take us to neighboring states, across the country or even around the world! What are you waiting for?

Greater Social Life Union of Akron

Akron, OH

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.
