Welcome to our Abbotsford Reiki & Metaphysical Meetup Group! We are a community of individuals who are passionate about exploring the realms of body-mind-spirit and living a successful life. Our group focuses on understanding ourselves, self empowerment, and positive personal growth through various modalities such as Reiki, Akashic Records, Heartmath, NLP, Meditation & Mindfulness, Emotion Code, Timeline Therapy, Spiritual and Psychic Development. We also delve into topics such as Ancient Earth & Cosmic History, Sacred Feminine Energy, DNA Activations, Paranormal, Divine Compassion, Ascention and parapsychology. Whether you are a seasoned lightworker or just starting out on your spiritual journey, we invite you to join us for spiritual guidance, healing, and connection.

This is a group for anyone (30's and 40's) interested in doing social and fun activities in the South Surrey-White Rock area. Let's enjoy all the great options this beautiful part of the Lower Mainland has to offer such as walks in the forest, parks, beach days, restaurants, breweries, pubs, coffee shops, sporting facilities, cycling routes, etc. Cheers!

Finding an event that combines socializing and parenting can be challenging, but as a busy father, I've been there. My top priority is my child's development, and I also want to expand my social circle. That's why I'm organizing a unique meetup that blends parenting with socializing. My 7-year-old son and I love visiting local coffee shops on Saturdays, where we both enjoy activities we love. For these visits, I've developed a series of engaging STEM programs that go beyond the regular curriculum (and yes, there's time for video games too). While our kids dive into exciting STEM activities on their iPads/Phones and make new friends, we parents can explore our hobbies, interests, and meet new people. If you're interested in meeting new friends outside your social bubble and want your kids to learn something new while having fun, come join us!

Couples and singles in their 20's & 30's who are looking for fun, social activities to do! Based in Langley but open to anyone in the lower mainland. We require all of our members to have a profile picture that clearly shows their face so we know who to expect at events. Events may include: board game nights, group sports, local hiking, dancing, dinner parties, coffee outings, and much more!

This group is intended to provide a warm and friendly space for those who identify as lesbian, bisexual or those who are not sure to connect with others. **The network:** Are you newly out? New in town? Recently divorced or separated, and eager to start fresh with new friends and exciting activities? This group is for you! We know that life transitions can be challenging, but they can also be the perfect opportunity to embrace new beginnings. Whether you're looking for casual hangouts, outdoor adventures, movie nights, or just someone to chat with over a coffee, you're in the right place. **What We Offer:** * 💬 Engaging Conversations: Share your stories, experiences, and ideas with a welcoming and empathetic community. * 🏞️ Outdoor Explorations: Join us for hikes, bike rides, or leisurely walks in Vancouver's beautiful surroundings. * 🎬 Movie Nights: Enjoy movie nights with popcorn and great company. * ☕ Coffee Meetups: Relax over a cup of coffee or tea and connect with fellow members. * 🎉 Social Events: Join us for fun social gatherings and themed parties. **Our Goal:** Let's build connections, share laughter, and support each other. Creating community and social network. It is about your story, your journey and embracing whoever you are -you decide to be. **The story :** It's hard to find new les/bi/an friend when you just came out or while you are trying to figure out your sexuality. Dating sites can be intimidating and going out to a gay club or event  to find a friend is a daunting experience. This meet up has been a great support for women to connect with others. It does not matter whether you are singles or couples, into the scene or dining, a bookworm or a sports fan, newly out or new in town. This is the melting pot where les-bi-friends hang! **Our policy:**  The requirement for this group is to post a current photo of yourself so members know who you are. You must use your first name.  19+ to join. **Must be able to attend an event within the first 6weeks of joining.** Otherwise you will be removed. You can request membership again. This is an in-person active group. **Join us on this journey towards new friendships and exciting experiences!** Come as you are and let's make some unforgettable memories together! 💖

(日本語続く↓） ～The number of ways in which people feel connected to Japan are as many as the myriad of colors in the midsummer sunset over the Salish Sea～ Were you born and raised in Japan? Are your parents Japanese? Have you lived or worked in Japan? Do you speak Japanese (including what you learned when you used to teach English there)? Do you have Japanese family, friends, or a life partner who is Japanese? Are you studying some aspect of Japan? Do you watch Japanese TV Dramas? Do you dream of a future trip or long-term residence in Japan as a traveler, student, or worker? If any of these words resonate with your heart, this meetup may be for you! Yes, I’m creating this meetup group to bring all of “us” who feel connected to Japan together, so that we may have a place in Bellingham to gather around our shared connection! In a spirit of friendship, I will start with (in-person) meetups at coffee shops, but hope to expand activities as I hear from our community. Do stop by sometime to say hi and share your thoughts! \* This meetup group is not just for people who live in Whatcom County! For those of you from Skagit County or Canada; or those of you from farther away within and outside of Washington, you are most welcome to join us! 黄昏の港町、「The City of Subdued Excitement」べリンハムで新しい友達を作ってはみませんですか？ 本集会は日本で生まれ育った、日本に住んだことがある、日本人の家族や友達またはパートナーがいる、日本の文化や言葉に興味がある、など、心の中に「日本」との「繋がり・縁」をもつ全ての人のために。また、そんな皆がいつでも気軽によれるミートアップを作りたい、と、そういう思いを胸に発足でーす。イエーイ(^_^)v。 まずは喫茶店で集まりたいと思いますが、違う形式のミートアップも検討中です。 スカジット郡、カナダ、またさらに遠い処に在住の方も、ウエルカム！是非来てくださいまし～！ \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Vision Statement: Let's cherish, in each unique moment of meeting up in Bellingham, the myriad colors of each other and what bring us together across differences in language, culture, time, and place! 「お互いのことを、十人十色を、一つ一つ異なる人生を、言語と文化の違いを、ワシントン州で集まれる二つとない期会（「一期一会」）を、大切にしよう」。 \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- House Rules (1) Be respectful. Although I hope to never have to do this, I reserve the right to -at my sole discretion- ask individuals to leave a particular meetup or to permanently remove members from the meetup group. (2) Please use words other than "Native Speaker" to describe yourself. The reaon for this rule is that, among other limitations, I feel that the word promotes a fixed mindset that actually limits one's potential to learn; regardless of your language level. Instead of using the word "Native Speaker", consider telling a story about yourself! Where did you learn languages? Do you have hobbies? Have you encountered English/Japanese or another language in formal education? Have you used the language in a real-world workplace? What kinds of Books/TV/Anime do you watch? Please feel free to be creative and to be yourself!
