New Group

Scripture Meditation Group

Allentown, PA

Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ. In the very messy world we are living in, the evil one is “prowling like a roaring lion seeking for someone to devour.” More than ever, we need to be armed with the Word of God so that we can courageously battle with evil daily. I am a chaplain for our vets and we are currently studying the Book of Revelation. We will be meeting once a week for thirty minutes to meditate and break open the Word of God. We welcome men and women of all faiths or none at all.

Pocono's Outdoor Adventures

Bushkill, PA

Welcome Adventurers! If you love hiking, swimming, kayaking, camping & backpacking and generally the outdoors all year round, then this is the group for you! My favorite type of hike is one where we explore and linger at a reasonable pace. I love mapping and creating new hikes. I live smack in the middle of all 3 borders of PA, NJ & NY and am acquainted with many of the parks in my surrounding vicinity! You will see a variety of parks that we will frequent. This is mostly a hiking group. We will post hiking events on a regular basis along with other events such as swiking (swim hikes), camping, kayaking & backpacking! ;) Just know that my usual MO is to explore. Things to know: * 1. **Hiking Difficulty Levels** \- Please know that you must be aware of your hiking level\. Most hikes will NOT $or never$ be easy unless specified as "Easy"\. I am accustomed to posting information on the difficulty level of the hikes as well as the overall length of the hike\. * 2. **Group Etiquette:** Please note that for those who have a stringent time frame on a hike or who want to forage ahead and speed hike, you are welcome to leave the group but I am in no way responsible for you if you get lost. The group is under no obligation to keep up with extremely fast paced hikers. I have no problem cutting you loose and those who want to follow you, to travel at the pace that you please. * 3. **Disclaimer** \- As with all meetup events\, your participation is voluntary and you are under no obligation to participate or continue in any portion of any event\. You are responsible for your own well\-being\. By all means message me with any questions with anything that you feel may be pertinent. I am here all year round for you. PS - I also am an organizer of other groups but this is my main group that is primarily based near the Delaware Water Gap. This is where you will want to stay. With that being said, some of the events will be cross-posted onto my other groups so the number of attendees may be more than what you see. Please only RSVP once & ideally from this main group. Luv you guys! Thank you & hope to see you around! Ilene K.

Nazareth AND surrounding areas: Empathy Circle

Bath, PA

Would you like to speak and feel fully heard? Would you like to connect to yourself and others more deeply? Do you want to work on developing your empathy skills? Would you benefit from freely sharing, without the cost of a therapist? Do you want to feel understood? Valued? Excited about your life? Beloved Participants I warmly invite you to the Empathy Circle. In our circle, your well-being matters to us. We understand the importance of being heard, each and every one of us. We're are here to be present for whatever is on your mind and heart. You are not alone; we are here with you. And, I'm hosting these circles at no cost for you. The circles are Free. Our only focus is on being present for you now, in the moment. Your comfort and growth are the priority. We genuinely care about your experiences. Your thoughts and feelings are valuable. We're committed you your emotional journey. Become part of a caring community. You'll find a welcoming and understanding space. Together we foster a culture of compassion. Connect with like-minded individuals who care. Share your thoughts in a nurturing environment. Anyone can attend an Empathy Circle - but the circle is a small group of 5-6 people. The format is simple, and the results for all of us is nothing short of profound. Everyone will get a change to speak for 3-4 minutes. Your listener will reflect just what you have said. No judgment or comments of their own. Just repeating one idea at a time, whatever is on your mind and heart. Once the speaker has had their turn, they then become the listener. We will continue for 40 minutes. “Although our brains are built for positive emotions, one major obstacle gets in our way: Dr. Pert explained that our brain’s functions are hindered by “the thought that we are separate from each other and from the rest of creation.” In other words, if we lack empathy, if we lack this connection to others and the world by separating ourselves emotionally, indeed from creation itself, we interfere with the hardwiring of our brains. Developing empathy for others and self-empathy, and teaching others to do the same, will dramatically improve not only emotional health but physical health as well. Another huge benefit from the Empathy Circle is that it gives our amygdala a pause. The amygdala's role in the brain involves processing emotions, particularly fear and stress responses. After a stressful event, the amygdala can become activated, triggering the "fight or flight" response and releasing stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. Chronic stress can lead to heightened sensitivity of the amygdala and a diminished ability to return to a balanced state. Practicing stress management techniques regularly can help improve the brain's resilience to stressors and facilitate a smoother reset process after stressful events. The active listening part of the Empathy Circle calms down the amygdala because you are only focused on returning a description of what the speaker has verbalized. We are not racing around in our brain to figure out what you want to say next, since all the is needed is just a succinct feedback. This is golden. “Empathy for ourselves and others — the emotion connecting us to the world — is a tremendous healing agent." Compassion “turns on” our immune system and improves health dramatically. All positive emotions, studies show, release brain chemicals called endorphins that dull pain and produce pleasure. Each empathy circle is limited to 6 people. Once we grow into a bigger group, I will be expanding. Of course, we agree to use first names only, and confidentially is expected. I have found that it helps me to feel more in the moment, and calms down my mind. Sometimes not even friends or family are available, or capable of being empathic. This resource is as close as you can get to a true friend without any of the drama. Here is a link that explains the value of empathy- https://www.pointloma.edu/resources/counseling-psychology/how-empathy-can-change-your-life-career

It would be nice to discuss freely our opinions on how society is changing, techniques to avoid Covid, and commiseration on the state of things. Open to walk-and-talks, outdoor games and board games (masked). Looking for any like-minded individuals, but also families with children who are also avoiding infection through homeschooling or other measures.

Awesome Adventurers Travel Network

Clinton, NJ

If you love to get out and see the world like I do, whether it's a weekend camping trip to the Catskills or a week long vacation to Italy or a visit to one of our many great National Parks, this group is a great place to meet some friends and plan your next Awesome Adventure! We will meet once a month or so at a local pub to get to know one another and discuss ideas for our next trip. How about a fall camping trip to see the foliage and hike up to Old Rag in Shenandoah or a summer trip to visit the granite bluffs along the coast of Acadia and have some lobster? What about a sailing live aboard in the Bahamas or a scuba trip to The Great Barrier Reef? Perhaps running with the bulls in Spain or an African safari are on your bucket list? Maybe a snorkel and rain forest adventure in Belize to see the world famous Blue Hole? These are a few ideas for some Awesome Adventures in the coming months. I look forward to making some new friends and sharing some great ideas you might have about planning our next Awesome Adventure!

Other stuff-

This group is mainly for adults, but kids over 21 are also welcome. Please call for info if you're thinking of bringing younger kids.

This group is solely for private individuals who are looking for a fun independent group to travel with. Travel agents are welcome to contact me (the group organizer) directly if you have a deal or promotion you'd like to offer the group, however solicitation is not allowed and will be considered Spam. Contacting group members unsolicited will result in removal from the group.

Please be considerate and RSVP when you're sure you can attend an event. If you can't make it please update you're status ASAP (min 48 hours before the event) so others who are waiting can attend and so I can plan accurately. I frequently negotiate group discounts and need to know how many will be attending. Those who no-show without a valid reason will be deleted from the group.

Please post an accurate photo of yourself in your profile for safety and liability reasons. I can't approve any members who don't have a photo posted.

Please read the event descriptions! Please read the comments! Please read the email updates we send you! The Organizers spend many many hours planning fun events for the group and we only ask that you be an active participant.

Cancellations- Due to the cost and complexity of scheduling and planning we all need to go through I ask that you please honor your commitments to attending trips once you've paid for them. I can usually help to find replacements if you need to back out for personal reasons, but I can't offer refunds once the final reservations have been made and paid for.
