This is a group where democrats, progressives and green party affiliates can get together, have some fun, mingle, laugh, and be creative. This group is open to singles, married, and people with children. OK, so, democrats won this last election, but where are they? Let’s come out of hiding and get to know each other. Too many of us have hidden in the comfort of our safe homes, ducking and diving away from any activity which could put us, or our children, in the midst of a radical right-wing ext …

The Central Oregon Atheists is a social group that was created to bring together atheists, agnostics, and freethinkers in Central Oregon. Come out for some great ungodly conversation! Enjoy good company as we socialize, rant against religion, tell our deconversion stories, and concoct devilish atheist plans to take over the world!  Remember that "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" (Carl Sagan). Any claims to be taken seriously in this group require PEARL (Physical Evidence And …

We are atheists and agnostics that think the natural world is all there is.  (This worldview is known as "Philosophical Naturalism" or "Metaphysical Naturalism.")  Given this outlook, how should we view life? What is the meaning of life? Where did we come from, and where are we going? How should we live the good life?  What is morality? What about love and other emotions?  We investigate to find naturalistic answers to these traditional human questions. Our group has two primary goals: 1. Develo …

With the press of clinical work, broader intellectual needs of mental health clinicians can go wanting. But clinical fields are hardly the only—one could easily argue not even the strongest—avenue to understanding lives. Many scientific and scholarly disciplines study, and shed light on, human nature, suffering and well-being, and conditions that make for better and worse lives. This study group explores the work of such disciplines. This is not a book club. We will devote to each topic we addre …

We gather together in order to tune-in/attune to the rhythm & creative, transformational power of the unfolding season. How else to discover our place as active participants? By sharing our collective exploration of the seasons--the phenomena unfolding right in front of us-- we hope to develop deeper insights & experiential knowledge of astrology, ecology (all our relations), that Beast/Blessing that is agriCulture, & ultimately continue the quest--the question that leads to the heart of Human B …

If you are living sober or are considering a sober lifestyle this group may be what you've been looking for.

I can foresee a great deal of fun and insight being shared and a c …
